Description

“A gunslinger adventure with good, clean fun!”With a stolen experimental starship and a pair of advanced synthetic limbs, he’s not your average bounty hunter.
When he accepted the job on a backwater planet, Hunter thought it would be easy. He and his partner just had to track down a missing researcher. But when they find her, she’s fled a quarter of the way around the massive ring of twenty-seven gates and Hunter realizes all is not as he was told.
That simple realization, and Hunter’s drive for retribution, kick off a series of adventures leading to the most important discovery since the fall of the Gate Age—and put him in direct confrontation with the corp he’s been running from for the past 10 revolutions.
Set in a far distant future, The 28th Gate is a series of tales that will appeal of fans of space marines, space fleets, and military hard science fiction. The series consists of eight volumes spread across four seasons telling the story of Hunter’s struggles against the AAA corporation that created him. Each volume contains six episodic novelettes each with the action, character, and plotting of a complete story all crammed into an espresso-like package, while each season chronicles a different arc in the overall epic.

Writer. Biologist. Chainmaille Artisan.

I have a varied and eclectic background. Among other things, I've performed baroque dance, taught electrical and environmental classes, and studied multiple martial arts. Even the course to my PhD in Biology and Society was wide-ranging, with peer-reviewed publications on topics as diverse as the origin of dinosaur feathers, mitochondrial biology, and the philosophy of multilevel selection.

But through all of my experiences, I am and have been a storyteller and world builder.

As a child, I wrote scores of simple, single-page stories before started my first novella-length work when I was 12. By the time I was in college, I was writing my first fantasy series and more short stories, though I still viewed my fiction as an outlet for myself and the enjoyment of my friends and family. That didn't change until I was in graduate school, when I began investigating options for publishing my first fantasy novel while I was also developing ideas for a sci-fi series, The 28th Gate.

After finishing grad school, I worked briefly for the TCEQ, Texas's environmental regulatory agency, before I attended a workshop on self-publishing at the Houston Writers' Guild annual conference. Over the course of a few hours I learned just how much I still didn't know about publishing—and I realized it was a lot less than I'd worried. Emboldened by that affirmation, my wife and I started our own publishing imprint, and I turned to writing full-time so we could make the difficult mistakes with my own novels before we begin helping other writers publish theirs as well.

When I'm not writing, I'm probably wishing I was outdoors hiking or kayaking. I am also an avid gamer—be it video, board, or card games—and cook, and enjoy undertaking (and sometimes even finishing) home improvement projects or crafting intricate chainmaille jewelry and armor.

I live with my wife and infant son—who has a remarkable capacity for consuming the time I should be writing—in southeast Houston, just down the road from NASA.
