Hey, here's my book! You can tell it's a book by the way it is. It's a couple months old now, and not currently on sale, but the sequel is coming out soon so that's pretty neat.

Thanks Lorna! What a wonderful thing to say!

Recommended read.
I lost today to it, and will lose tonight and tomorrow to book two, "Trancendence".
Just when I was mired in that post-book-series hangover when nothing appeals, I found it.
Happy days 😀

Absolutely unreal to be given this honor last night. My debut novel won the Colorado Book Awards! It was amazing and inspiring to meet so many other authors and organizers. Congratulations to all the finalists!

I can't let Transference have all the glory today. Take a peak at the sequel!
Today, I completed my first series. The Narrator Cycle was my framing for talking about so many things, from capitalism to agency and free will, all in the trappings of a cinematic, sci-fi universe. Transcendence is now available in print from all major retailers, and eBook on the Zon.

My wife got me a copy of Gone Away World years ago because I'm a huge John le Carre fan, and I was blown away. Nick's been on my "will read anything they write" list ever since. I can't wait to check this one out!
