Books

05/19/24 – Exciting news: I have started a publishing company called Banned & Burned Publishing. We are going to relaunch Dawnbreaker as our first book. There are still paper back copies of the first edition available in my store but every other physical copy of the first edition will disappear over the next few weeks. The relaunched edition includes both DAWNBREAKER and BEFORE THE BREAK OF DAWN and features a slightly redesigned cover. It releases on 6/18/2024.

My books are available in print and digital formats. For digital formats you should be able to find them within your e-reader of choice. For printed copies I recommend using bookshop.org as they send a portion of the proceeds to a local bookstore of your choosing.


DAWNBREAKER

Novelty is dying in the city of Rochester and one street artist has taken note. Marnie Murphy is the only person within a hundred miles still capable of coming up with a fresh idea and she has no idea why. Her unique situation puts her in the unenviable position of being the only one capable of solving the mystery. Being the “only one” has been a theme in her life, having lost both her father and brother to mysterious circumstances and watching her mother withdraw into a single-minded focus on her career as a result.

Marnie’s investigation takes her from figuring out the identity of a copycat artist to the luminous land of Eternal Dawn. In this world, anyone with enough cunning can instantaneously turn their thoughts into reality. This new plane is filled with many dangers, from a bloodthirsty goblin horde to an ultraviolet ultra-violent lynx. But none of these threats hold a candle to those buried in her family’s legacy.

Will Marnie discover her true power hidden in her family’s legacy or will she doom this new world and ours to an eternal darkness?


BEFORE THE BREAK OF DAWN: THE ORB MONGERS & THE FLOOD

These short stories can now be found on my blog, Medium, and Wattpad. There are limited print copies available by email only

Before the Break of Dawn is a collection of stories which take place in the mystical land of Eternal Dawn where a force known as Muse gives its wielders the ability to shape the world around them, only being limited by the power of their imagination. Eternal Dawn is also the setting of the groundbreaking fantasy novel Dawnbreaker.

The Orb Mongers is the story of a pair of thieves who find themselves at a crossroads. Muse Orbs, the objects of their illicit dealings, are becoming increasingly scarce with the passing of each new night. A game of pure luck unveils the location of what could be the last remaining horde in Eternal Dawn. Will Chauncey and Trig’s next big score be their last?

The Flood tells the tale of the final hours of the Last War. The Vagabond Master and his apprentice find themselves in a race against time. They must outrun an ancient evil as they try desperately to complete their final mission and bring light back to Eternal Dawn.
