Amplifier 3. 4th Draft. Done.

I just dropped Amplifier 3 into the editor’s (aka SFG) inbox. He will take the next month to line and content edit the manuscript (aka wrestling it into submission), then send it back to me for final touches (and proofread, etc).

Yes, for the first time ever, I’m giving the first book in the Reconstructionist trilogy away. For free. It’s honestly mind boggling to me that I published Catching Echoes almost three years ago!

Amplifier 2: cover reveal and synopsis

Synopsis: We had chosen our place, etching our lives into a new land. Then we had defended that land when called upon to do so. And we’d […]

Demons and DNA: Chapter One, Part One

September 2018. A sorcerer pushed open the door of the diner, both of his hands on the metal handle that bisected its glass. Holding himself upright.

Amplifier Series: tea and ginger snaps

Emma (aka Socks aka Amp5) from the Amplifier Series has a bit of a thing for ginger snaps and tea. The ginger snap obsession comes from her first Christmas party (see The Amplifier Protocol) and she has two go-to recipes: hand-rolled and sliced. I’ve also added the hand-rolled Chewy Ginger Snaps recipe to the Adept […]
