Cover Reveal!
Launching July 4, 2 pm, at Reverie Books!
Get Ready for The Resistance!
In a fit of anti-oligarchy rancor a couple of months ago, I unpublished all three volumes of my Recall Chronicles from KDP (Amazon). Why? These were the first books I ever self-published, and in my naivety I eagerly took advantage of the “free ISBN” offered by CreateSpace (now KDP). I didn’t realize that this restricted me to distribution ONLY via Amazon. My plan is to republish all three books, but in a new format: Books 1 and 2 will come out in July as a single volume, with book 3 coming a bit later paired with the as yet unpublished book 4. All of these will publish under my own ISBN numbers so that they can be ordered and stocked by bookstores and libraries.
The Recall Chronicles are very political novels, and I had thought I might need to revise them some in light of what has happened over the past ten years. Instead, I found them to be even more pertinent today than they were ten years ago when the first book came out. A government dominated by plutocrats (aka oligarchs)? Check. A global pandemic? Check. Concern over altered images and manipulated social media? Check. Obsession with fertility and longevity? Check. A coalition of dissidents? Maybe?
Way of the Serpent pairs with Shadow of the Hare in a single volume titled The Resistance, which tells you a little about who the two main characters—Jenda Swain and Malia Poole—are. If you haven’t read the Recall Chronicles yet, get ready for a satisfying dive into a political world a hundred years hence that feels all too believable. Get ready for The Resistance!
Cover reveal coming soon!

Tamarindo
Going to the beach always makes things better. Or does it?
FLIGHT OF THE OWL – now available on Amazon.
After
After the end of civilization, Jonathan struggles to make sense of the world that was and the world as it has become. Reality and time are elusive.
FLIGHT OF THE OWL – order now on Amazon.
Puzzling
Jonathan is on a quest to figure out what his grandfather’s role was in the world that has just ended, but the further he delves into it, the more puzzling it becomes.
Flight of the Owl – available on Amazon!
Jonathan and Dextra
The protagonist in Flight of the Owl is Jonathan Swain (Jenda’s brother) and for much of his journey recounted in this third volume of Recall Chronicles he is accompanied by a Hopi woman, Dextra Honanie. To better understand the character of Dextra, I made a journey of my own to the Hopi reservation in Arizona earlier this year to discuss my work with a number of residents there. I hope my rendering of Dextra is believable and respectful. I did my best.
Finished
What good is a filmmaker at the end of civilization? Making films has been Jonathan Swain’s life. He needs a new sense of purpose and finds it in the search for why his last film made so many people so mad.
FLIGHT OF THE OWL – available on Amazon!
