My first novel, Raisinbread: The Story of Jennifer Choate and Her Role in the Crisis of 2262, is now available on Amazon.
Raisinbread
Jennifer Choate had lived her entire life on the Angelperch Space Station. She had an OK but boring job and a few friends, but her life wasn’t going anywhere. Then she stumbled upon Raisinbread, a backdoor to the entire station which had been put into place by Roland Wist, who built it centuries ago. Her first thought was to use this access to become rich. She did that easily enough, but it was unsatisfying, because she knew if she spent too much of that money Security would figure out what was happening. She mentioned to Raisinbread that she wanted to do something, and Raisinbread offered to send her on an archaeological expedition to Earth. So, now calling herself Barbara Issese, she found herself in New Haven, in a part of North America which still hadn’t fully recovered from the nuclear apocalypse. There she hired a guide, and with her pseudohominid, another guide from a nomadic tribe, and a rich young Angelpercher man she’d met on Earth, she traveled deep into the wilderness, not far from the taboo lands which used to be New York City, where she found what she had been sent to find. It was not, however, what she thought she had been sent to find.
My second novel, A Diamond Found on Paradise, will be released on 16 March 2026 in both Kindle and paperback. The Kindle version is available for preorder.
A Diamond Found on Paradise
Soupy Callidardin was a young woman enjoying school vacation when she discovered a diamond lying in the bed of a stream on the planet Paradise. She felt lucky, especially when it turned out that the diamond had been part of a religious relic many centuries ago. However, when the modern practitioners of that religion, Resumptionism, demanded she hand it over to them, and she declined, she found herself in the middle of planetwide struggles not only between Resumptionism and its rivals, but between the various factions of the Resumptionist Council. Then the gladifers, the aliens who had gifted Paradise to humans, and whose philosophy Resumptionists claimed to be teaching humanity, took an interest in her, and her life took a turn she’d never expected.
