Chart and Compass
The 1762 Siege of Havana tears José Albañez away from his birthplace of Cuba. He travels the Atlantic world, from Charleston, to Scotland, and at last to revolutionary Boston, trying to find his way home. Filled with engaging characters and carefully researched details, the series immerses the reader in the 18th century world.

The Clash of Timelines
It’s the 21st century, and in the Royal Federated Colonies of North America, John Smith, a former Marine now security consultant, deals with killings, corruption, and eruptions from the multiverse. This multi-generational series pays homage to Paratimers, Time-liners and Cross-timers of yore.
Superspy Dawn
Dawn’s powerful, malevolent father places her in a high-ranking position at the CIA, which allows her to wreak her revenge and battle the extraterrestrial forces he has unleashed.
The Chronos Cosmogony
Two valiant heroes, Imperial Marine Corps Major Muffin, a man with a mysterious past, and his personal dirigible pilot, the dashing, debonair ladies’ man, and ale-quaffing ace golfer, Captain James T. Smedley, find themselves to be their Earth’s only hope to thwart its conquest by implacable, but dueling, would-be conquistadoras from alternate ends of the continuum of Earths. These valiant warriors will confront any challenge, whether it’s para-gliding into hollow volcanoes to fight hordes of mercenary ronin, fighting Jovian Lava Leeches in the sewers of New York, riding three-ton wombats through the mushroom jungles of Venus, or crossing deadly steel with the Lizard King of Mars, if such actions be the price of defending Empire or saving maidens fair from fates worse than death. It's not really their fault that both those maidens fair they save and the evil, manipulative seductresses they thwart keep finding them so darn irresistible.
This is a retro-futurist alternate-earth, tongue-in-cheek adventurous homage to the pulps of the 30s through 50s.
