Beyond the Rivers of Time: A Novel of Distant Worlds
Find it anywhere books are sold.
An alien city. A fractured timeline. A race to survive. Fans of Ender’s Game and classic Star Trek will love this smart, high-stakes sci-fi adventure.
A thoughtful, action-driven read for YA and crossover adult audiences who love mystery, technology, and deep questions of identity and survival.
When humanity’s first interstellar voyage ends in a cataclysmic explosion, the Sol System mourns the loss of the starship Katie and her crew; Captain Charles Bimmy and his wife, brilliant scientist Becca Kiel.
Thirteen light-years from Earth, on the surface of an alien planet, the truth is far more complex. The crew survived the blast, and is transformed into something extraordinary.
Discovering a pristine city untouched by time, maintained by hidden forces, Bimmy and Becca find themselves changed; physically enhanced, yet unsure what they’ve become. When a rescue mission finally reaches them, it triggers a chain of events that will uncover long-buried secrets, reignite old wars, and draw the attention of powerful forces from across space, and time.
As rival factions vie for control of interstellar travel, and the worlds it has revealed, Bimmy and his crew must navigate treacherous alliances, unravel the mystery of a lost civilization, and confront a future that may already be written.
From the vast desert of a distant world to the burning heart of a shattered empire, Beyond the Rivers of Time is a sweeping space opera of found family, technological transformation, and humanity’s place among the stars.
“a fully original sci-fi mythology… vividly rendered and suspenseful… enjoyably akin to works like the Ender’s Game novels and Valerian comic series…” — Launchpad Prose Competition
“a well-written science fiction story that doesn’t lose sight of the humanity of its characters… with hints of the classic western… the world-building in this novel is excellent.” — ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Competition
In a fractured future America, a runaway boy and a lost dog journey toward a city built on hope, innovation, and humanity’s uneasy reach across the Sol system, only to become part of humanity’s first attempt to reach another star.

Charlie never meant to change the future. He only wanted to survive.
Set in a fractured 24th-century America struggling to rebuild after devastating wars, Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun follows thirteen-year-old Charlie Bimmy as he escapes an abusive home and follows an abandoned highway toward the distant ocean. Accompanied only by a stray dog named Katie, Charlie fights to survive across the wastelands of a broken world.
At the end of the road, he discovers Arcadia — a thriving technological city built upon hope, innovation, and humanity’s uneasy reach across the Sol system.
When Charlie rescues the brilliant and impulsive Becca Kiel after her unauthorized journey through a wormhole nearly kills her, the two form an unlikely friendship that will alter the course of human history. As Charlie finds a new home and a new family, he and Becca become drawn into a future far larger than either of them imagined: humanity’s first attempt to reach another star system.
Blending adventure, survival, friendship, and speculative wonder, Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun is the beginning of an epic science-fiction saga about what it means to be human — and what lies waiting for us beyond the horizon.
A look at the Clutch camera hand strap from Peak Design. This should have been easy, but sadly, it was not. Sometimes a circle is a lot more useful than a triangle. Sometimes, a triangle is down right vexing.
My review of the Star TRC DJI Osmo 7, 7P, or 8 Gimbal Case. I’m building out a new video setup, one piece of gear at a time, and I’ll be posting reviews here, on social media, and on my YouTube channel. I hope you’ll check it out.
It’s finally here! The cover for “Beyond the Rivers of Time,” sequel to “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun,” and a Page Turner Award Finalist in its own right.
The epic adventure of Charlie and Becca continues. They’re joined by some old friends, and new enemies, as they explore distant worlds, and expand their quest for a new home to galactic proportions.
Pre-orders will be available beginning May 1, on sale everywhere beginning June 1, 2025, including Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, and Amazon.com.
An interstellar spacecraft crashes on an alien world, where a mysterious force alters the crew’s sense of humanity, sending them on a quest for answers, and survival.
A journey of discovery, 13 lightyears across the galaxy in an untested starship, will forever alter the course of human history, in ways no one can predict. Unless, of course, they’re a member of the Temporal Guards.
Humanity’s first attempt at interstellar travel ended with a cataclysmic explosion. With no sign of the ship and crew for over a year, the people of the Sol System are left grieving the loss of Captain Charles Bimmy and his scientist wife, Becca Kiel.
But on the Deimos Colony orbiting Mars, a young astrophysicist, Dex Farber, has discovered convincing evidence indicating the crew not only survived, but are now trapped at their destination, the planet Luyten b.
A rescue mission is set in motion, and the stakes are nothing less than the fate of the known galaxy, and humanity’s place in it.
My first collection of short stories, “Nightmares and Lullabies,” is now available.
A first crush. A final regret. The end of the world. A dance with death. A glimpse beyond it.
