Beyond the Rivers of Time

Beyond the Rivers of Time, Book 2 in the series, is now available wherever books are sold.

A thoughtful, action-driven read for Young Adult and Adult readers alike, 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.

Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun

My first Young Adult Science Fiction novel, “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun,” is now available for purchase. A young boy flees a desperate situation and finds a new home, a new family and epic interplanetary adventure. While this is written for the young adult audience, there’s plenty in it for New Adult and Adult readers. (In fact, so far, most readers have been adult readers).

Nightmares & Lullabies

Also available wherever books are sold, “Nightmares & Lullabies,” my first short story collection. From first love to life’s final mysteries, Nightmares & Lullabies is a fearless collection of literary, speculative, and darkly humorous stories about desire, loss, and transformation.

Oculus 12

I’ve also completed a revised draft of “Oculus 12,” a sci-fi epic set on a post-dystopian Earth, a millennia after the collapse of civilization. Time to let it perk for a while, then do another rewrite. This was originally a TV Pilot I wrote a few years ago. It placed in a couple of contests, but as it turns out, selling a screenplay is not as easy as it looks. And every revision I made seemed to make it worse. I threw out the screenplay and got back to the core story, wrote a couple of drafts, then let it sit while I finished “Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun” and “Beyond the Rivers of Time.” I’m still hopeful to have this ready for publication in late 2026.

More from Beyond

Finally, I’ve begun outlining the next novel in the Beyond series. I don’t usually outline, but with two books ahead of it, I’ll need the extra documentation to keep up with all the storylines and plot twists. This series also has two spinoffs in the works – “Grace” about the Pirate Queen of Jupiter, and “Mulzac,” the early life story of the hero of the Marauder Wars.
