Superdreadnought 6

A misstep, a miscue, a misfortune, and a billion light years later, the superdreadnought is lost. The Gate drive is trashed, the locals are hostile, and the crew has run out of beer. The galaxy has chewed up the Reynolds and spit it out. The search is on for the raw materials to make the parts they need to fix the ship. Who can stand up to the superdreadnought in a no-name galaxy at the edge of the universe? It’s looking grim for a group hug, leaving the captain and crew with the choice of fight, flight, or diplomacy. Board the Reynolds and join the crew in their struggle to get home. I wrote this book with Craig Martelle to finish out his series. You can read the other five books first, or this one stands on its own pretty well. --- PLEASE NOTE --- This book has a lot more cursing than my usual. If bad language offends you, perhaps this book is not for you.​ ​

Space Opera Libretti

The problem with space opera is that there's not enough opera in it, and certainly a dearth of coloratura diva sopranos in the third act. This anthology sets out to fix that by placing the music front-and-center. We've created a glittery disco-ball of fun. 20 stories designed to amuse. Some actually take place in space. There's even an actual opera in here. We didn't hold back.Time-traveling cats that quote opera... Intergalactic singing competitions... An endless song that becomes the soundtrack to countless generations of rebellions... And, of course, invisible space bears made of black holes that may or may not be extinct.

And they’ve called in the favor. Quinn agrees to risk her life to help Tony, as long as the family keeps her kids safe. She must follow the breadcrumbs to find him and hope she doesn’t leave behind a trail for the Feds. Because the Federation doesn’t forget when a death row inmate escapes. And they never forgive.

Krimson Surge

They won the battle, but victory comes with a price. After the triumph at Lunesco, Tony spreads plans for the rebellion throughout the Federation, while Quinn helps distribute resources and weapons. But when a mysterious data card connects her to an old enemy, she must gather friends to protect her children, then venture out on her own to find answers. Avoiding Federation officers and bounty hunters is difficult, but staying one step ahead of the Russosken—the Federation’s hired thugs—requires assistance from dubious allies. Quinn helps devise a plan to loosen the death grip on the Federation’s outlying planets. But if she takes down the Russosken, what will rise from the ashes? Freedom comes at a price. The final bill might be more than Quinn is willing to pay. This book was originally published by CMI, with Craig Martelle listed as a co-author.

The Trouble with Tinsel

It’s all merry and bright, unless you’re the janitor. Triana Moore doesn’t hate Christmas, but tinsel tidying is terrible. When her bots stop vacuuming, Triana must find out why. Like Santa up a chimney, she zips to the upper levels of the space station to apprehend the culprit: a mystery man with a magnetic personality is confusing the computers. He can’t remember his own name, but he can access the most secure areas of the station with a smile, and not leave a trace. To save Christmas, and the board of directors’ all-important holiday party, Triana must enlist all her friends–and a few enemies. When they look in their stockings on Christmas morning, who will find candy and who will find coal? This book is available individually as audio or ebook, but in print only as part of Galactic Junk Drawer.

The Dust of Kaku

They say you can never go home. But, you can clean it. Triana Moore, maintenance bot technician on Station Kelly-Kornienko, prefers life in orbit where the air is purified, the commute is short, and nature doesn’t get all over you. But when a minor infraction gets her sent to remedial training dirtside, she doesn’t complain. Who wouldn’t enjoy a few days of sitting in the sunshine, eating gourmet burgers and drinking too much Jager Hula? When an unscheduled beach weekend uncovers dangerous squatters in her childhood home, the space janitor decides to clean house. She enlists the help of her roommate, Kara, and security agent Ty O’Neill. As they investigate, old friends resurface in suspicious circumstances, and Triana doesn’t know whom she can trust. She’s scheduled to work on Monday, so she must answer these questions before the weekend is over: Who are these infiltrators? What do they want? And when will that pizza finally be delivered?
