Nuclear war devastated the world. Now, decades later, those countries that can have been rebuilding, keeping themselves isolated to prevent another war.

Not that it stops spies, though.

But what happens when one such spy falls in love with his mark?

Planned a day off from writing but ended up reading the first half of my WIP Emperor’s Fall. I was thinking it’d be rough and disjointed, instead it’s twelve of the best chapters I’ve ever written in 1st Draft. Wow. Cover below! #scifibooks #scifi 💙🪐🪐📚

#AmWriting progress: Satisfaction. 777 words added to Legacy of the Gods, bringing the total to 111,111 words.

I mean. You just can't learn skills like that. That's all natural, baby 😎

I love urban/ #scifi #fantasy, but find it a bit dull when they rely too much on medieval weaponry all the time.

Which is one reason why I wrote The Magic Circle.

Yes, there's magic, shapeshifters, and supernatural forces, but there's also laser drones, spy gadgets, and haptic shields.

My contribution to this bundle is What May Rise from the Ashes, a story about an elderly librarian whose beloved library is about to shut out the general public. She won't be having that.

These stories contain depictions of out-of-body experiences, fungal infections, genetic sabotage, evolutionary revenge and sexual deception. All are based in truth, though are yet unproven. 📚💙 #comingsoon #coverreveal

#AmWriting progress: Only a few words today, adding a couple of sentences in what I've already written, adjusting wording here and there... et voilà! Passed 110,000 words.

I don't know why I can't add proper new stuff at the moment. It's annoying.

Buy my books to gimme some pep? 😂
