Mickey Ryder is twenty-three, deeply in debt, and the captain of a barely-functioning mail ship held together by salvage tape and bad decisions. When a runaway cult boy named Isaiah hides in his cargo bay, Mickey does the one thing he never does—he says yes. Now they're running from New Eden, hauling mystery cargo, and trying not to kill each other. But between a dead exploration ship, a screaming alien in a crate, and a religious mandate that just dropped a nine-year-old son on his doorstep, Mickey's about to learn that surviving is easy. Living? That's the hard part.

When two hunters run afoul of a mythic figure, they have one chance to saved their hides. It's not the boys weekend either expected. (This takes place in the same universe as the story Sol, but both are stand alone tales, no other reading needed.)

What happened to his memories? Why is he imprisoned? Why is he being interrogated by a man of the cloth? And to whom belongs the beautiful elven face haunting his broken mind?

One week after their first encounter Leo meets up with the two brothers Sam and Kenny to escape to the lake in Hadley Woods. Leaving behind suburbia, and in a quiet secluded spot, they pass the day together sunbathing. The shared intimacy and shared secrets solidify what has become a "secret society of three."

Zereth has returned, and peace is over.

Prince Trillion has spent his life defying the fate chosen for him. The kingdom expects him to accept the bond that ties him to Ember, the god-marked boy he’s meant to love—his cousin.

But Trillion has never wanted a destiny he didn’t choose.

Now war is rising, and a weapon is turning bonds into something deadly.

They’re told to stay apart. To resist.

But the closer danger draws, the harder that becomes. Because in a war built to break bonds, loving each other might destroy them—or save them.

In a kingdom cracking under rebellion, one knight and two young squires ride with a single purpose: they fight for the crown. Kaylen leads them through frost‑bitten marches and treacherous courts, while Tomas and Ronan learn the cost of courage long before earning their spurs. As traitors rise and loyalties splinter, the three must stand firm together or watch the realm fall.

This is a much delayed spin-off from the two-part Clinton Boys series. We’re reacquainted with Ed Lamont and Claude Moreau, two boys whose paths meet and over the span of almost a decade, culminate in disaster.

Reading or being familiar with the Clinton Boys series isn’t necessary. In fact, if you haven’t read it, you won’t be exposed to a number of spoilers should you decide to skip it. But feel free to go back and read it afterward. Heehee.

A musically based story where a young guitar player takes over for a deceased member of a popular group and is guided by his ghost.
