My Work
Lord of the Night Sky
The gods think, therefore we are. The gods are mortal. The gods are starving.
Set in the recent past, the story opens with Colonel Crane extracting archaeologist, Ted Young, from a failed investigation of what seemed to be a small-time Mexican money laundering operation. As they flee Mexico, it becomes clear that Ted has stumbled into something much bigger. And it’s radioactive.
Available through Amazon. Soon to be released as a podcast.
In The Hole There Were Some Bones
My current novel is set in the Viking era. The first of a series following an all to curious Norse boy, his mentor, and a budding young shield maiden from Norway and across medieval Europe.
As always old technology is a source of fascination to me. Fiskar works among the ragtag apprentice ropemakers who rig the Viking ships carrying terror and treasure across the seas.

Talking Tech. Old Tech
One of the fun things about researching a novel is spending way too much time watching YouTube videos of blacksmiths, ropemakers, crossbows, and archeologists.
I share my favorites – as well as my own explorations – in the Talking Tech. Old Tech. blog.
