That Book About the Shepherdess

Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure

Ages ago, a great empire rose to power and their influence spread across all lands with the help of their sorcerous abilities. Their reign came to an end when a horde of monsters appeared quite suddenly and wiped them out nearly overnight before vanishing just as mysteriously.
The story follows Zwienna, a girl from a quiet herding town. After these fabled creatures reappear and begin wreaking havoc once again, she is forced to leave her home and abandon everything she's ever known. Along with her closest companion, a soldier's son, she gets caught up in the quest to defeat the dreaded horde, when all she really wants is to go home.

The soft goal is to have it out by the end of 2026. I know everything that happens, more or less, but having the time and focus to record it all has proven more difficult than I'd like.

The World After the World Ends

Science Fiction

A collection of short stories. Sort of vignettes that take place in various potential post-apocalyptic futures. I poke at them now and then but it's not been a priority of late.

That Series with the Mad Scientists

Middle Grade, Science Fiction

It was conceived in early 2019, but has been put on hold to focus on other projects. Loosely inspired by Mr. Peabody and Sherman, it follows the misadventures of a boy and his eccentric genius mentor.
