…sort of. Oh, I’m not done writing, not by any stretch of the imagination! Lo contrare, I’m THRILLED to announce that I have begun work on my new Christian fiction post-apocalyptic series entitled “The End.” It’s clean fiction, with zero profanity, zero sex or drugs or bullying – or aliens! (Although look out for Easter eggs referring to Dissonance!) It’s a unique trilogy that I’m sure is going to make its mark.

“THE END” takes place in 2113. I just knew that when I was done with Dissonance, I had to work on something epic and overtly Christian, and I’m utterly proud to be working on this. I’m currently at 127 pages, and it’s coming along really, really well. Get ready for a year of new book signings and release parties, because this one is going to be a whopper! Here’s the synopsis:

When Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow shot up through the senate, people were all-too surprised and delighted to see someone in the prime of life wanting to heal wounds, bring people together, and bring peace, so they elected him President.

His aim, however, was to bring the exact opposite.

The year is 2113, and Christianity is under siege.  A massive virus has torn across the planet and killed off half of the world’s population and its leaders.  Goodfellow, having changed his name to “Nero” in honor of the Roman emperor, has declared himself de facto leader over the remainder of mankind, and commenced the eradication of Christianity.

In a small community outside Chicago, Illinois, eighteen-year-old Sage Maddox is endowed with wisdom and street smarts well beyond his years.  Though his entire family has been killed off by Sentinels – ruthless killing machines dispatched by Nero – he is determined to do his part to bring much-needed justice and restore safety to Christians throughout the world.  There’s just one thing…

Nero is waiting for him.

Happy Friday! Here’s a bullet point update for some awesome news!

1. Dissonance Volume III: Renegade publishes on my 51st birthday – TOMORROW! Yep, 5.18.24. What would make a wonderful birthday gift for me? Buy my books please! And when you’re done, leave a positive review on Amazon. Those go a LONG way. Thanks! 🙂
2. In other news, the prequel, Dissonance Volume Zero: Revelation is DONE! I started it on 4.29.24 and finished it yesterday, 5.16.24. As with Dissonance Volume I: Reality, it took me only three weeks to write it. CRAZY! It’s deeply moving, stirring, and had me bawling at points. Not kidding. You see what this family went through when the gorgons came. I’m so happy I didn’t move on after the trilogy was done because this prequel is POWERFUL. It’s been submitted to my wonderful wife for editing!
3. And in more news, Screenwriter Alan Roth is working hard on the screenplay for Dissonance Volume I: Reality, and I am giggling with anticipation like an 11-year-old schoolgirl. So exciting!
4. And in yet still OTHER news, I get to host an author signing at Barnes & Noble! They’re carrying my books, so on August 10th at the Olympia branch I’ll be signing books. Check the News page: this summer is chalk-full of signings and trade show booths. Super stoked!
5. And in even yet still more further additional OTHER news, if you’re an audiobook listener, Dissonance Volume II: Reckoning is now available on Audible!

You can buy any of the books here, or you visit the links above. THANK YOU ENDLESSLY FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

I’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK IN THE COMMENTS BELOW. THANKS!

Hello everyone! It gives me great pride to announce my new author website, right here! Check it out.

I just published my thirteenth book, a book of poetry. It’s called Reflections. Check it out here!

And my twelfth book is right around the corner, and that’s Dissonance Volume III: Renegade! The trilogy is complete! I’m just awaiting some feedback from a few Senior Airmen and a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Air Force to verify some details about some of my narratives, but it’s going to be published on my 51st birthday, and I’m SO grateful. I had a lot of massive help from my wife, which brings me to my next point:

My beautiful wife Janine is now an editor! Check out her website, Denouement Editing! I’m so proud of her and excited for her! She’s helped me edit the last few books, and without them they’d be a mess. Thank you honey bun! Check out her Facebook page as well please. Thanks for supporting her!

The prequel, Dissonance Volume Zero: Revelation, is coming along really, really well. I’m now at 116 pages, and they’ve come to the point of the alien invasion, so here’s where it gets scary.

Please leave me a comment below – I’d love to hear from you! Have you purchased any of the books yet? What did you think of them? I’d love your thoughts. Also, if you would be kind enough to visit my author page on Amazon, select the book you bought/obtained, and please leave me a review, I would be immeasurably grateful. Those go a long way in developing traction. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I’ve never been happier in my creative pursuits – thank you for allowing me to share them with you! This summer is LOADED with trade shows – check out the News page and you’ll see – and I’m tremendously excited.

Thanks so much for following, and for your support, I would be nothing without it! Leave a comment below; I’d love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Well, I’m done! Just awaiting feedback from a few people including my beautiful wife on Dissonance Volume III: Renegade, and then it will publish on my 51st birthday, May 18th. (Fitting, isn’t it? Area 51 is full of aliens….my book is about aliens. Yeah. That.)

I mean it when I say that Dissonance Volume III: Renegade is POWERFUL. It’s going to blow you away!

BUT! I didn’t feel “released” from the trilogy yet, and I love where this story has gone, so I’ve begun work on a prequel. It is called….drum roll please… “Dissonance Volume Zero: Revelation.” It’s going to cover when the gorgons actually arrived, and the mayhem that ensued. And, for your viewing pleasure, check out the cover!

ALSO! GREAT NEWS, if you haven’t heard already….I’m partnering with Alan Roth of Act Two Media to develop a screenplay of Dissonance Volume I: Reality for pitching to producers of streaming services like Netflix, Paramount+, Apple TV, Prime Video, etc.. I’m THRILLED with this development and ask for your prayers that it will go well and that we’ll get some interested parties. SUPER stoked about this.

Thank you for your support! Let me know what you think of the trilogy so far! How do you like the cover? What do you think about the news of the screenplay being created? Let me know in the comments below!

Thanks again!
