Just Released!

In Times to Come - Delusions, which went live on April 23, is my first release for 2024. This is the fifth book in my In Times to Come series and there will be more to follow. Book Six is already in the works and will be published later this summer.

Trapped in a time where his very existence is a paradox, Alan Carson must navigate a world in which he doesn't belong in order to save the ones he loves...

After escaping a nightmarish dystopian future, Alan Carson's latest journey through time leaves him stranded in a reality where no one knows his name. As he grapples with the challenges of finding his way there, Alan takes comfort in knowing that the dangers threatening the woman he loves and the friends he's destined to lose are still decades away.

But even as Alan dares to hope that he can change the course of that future and save those he holds dear, he is haunted by the fear that his actions in this earlier timeline may have unintended consequences. With every step he takes, Alan realizes he risks reshaping the future in ways he cannot foresee, potentially creating outcomes more devastating than those he's already witnessed.

As he treads the delicate balance between the past, present, and future, Alan must confront the weight of his choices and the power they hold over the lives of others.

Will his presence in this earlier world be the key to saving the future, or will Alan’s desperate attempts to protect his loved ones only lead to their ultimate demise?

Delusions is Book Five of the In Times to Come Series: a story of survival, courage, and the power of choice in a world where timelines gone and yet to come are destined to collide.

Series Updates

Since I haven’t updated this site for some time now, I wanted to post a quick update regarding the Feral Nation Series and the In Times to Come Series.

In Times to Come is my newest project, as those of you who have been following my work already know. It has also become my bestselling and most popular series, based on just the first two books that were released in 2022. Book Three was released today as noted below, and the fourth book is on preorder and will be coming no later than December, and hopefully sooner.

The Feral Nation Series is now up to twelve books, with the release of Feral Nation - Tenacity earlier this year. There is still more to come for fans of that series so look for an announcement regarding Book 13 soon.

In Times to Come Book Two

The second book in my new In Times to Come series has been released today.

The positive feedback and strong sales I’ve gotten from the first episode of this story have exceeded my expectations. This is always a good thing, because it is a project I have been excited about for quite some time now, and its success bodes well for other, similar works I have planned for the near future. I am especially pleased to see that the combination of time-travel and post-apocalyptic fiction has both resonated with my established audience and attracted new readers to my work as well.

All of my published fiction to this point fits primarily in the post-apocalyptic and dystopian genres, and all the stories have strong elements of wilderness survival and self-sufficiency baked in. In crafting this new series, I wanted to continue to give my readers of those prior works more of what they want, while branching out to explore one or more of the other genres of fiction I enjoy reading.

Time travel fiction has always fascinated me, especially when the story is about someone going into a wilderness or some other isolated place and somehow getting lost in another time without knowing it. When they attempt to return to civilization and the everyday life they knew before, they learn it doesn’t exist. Over the years, I’ve written down my notes and ideas for several stories with this premise, but most involved a character or characters that went back in time, rather than forward. This is the most popular kind of time travel fiction and it has been the subject of countless books and movies in the genre.

I still plan to explore some of those ideas as there is a lot appeal to casting characters from the modern world back in time into a primeval setting replete with adventure and danger. But for my debut into the genre, I decided to go the other way instead.

In Times to Come, as the name implies, entails a small leap forward to the near future, rather than a journey to some distant past. The premise, of course, is that the future the protagonist finds himself in is much worse than the world he has left behind. It is, in fact, a dystopian world set in a post-collapse America, similar to the setting in my popular Feral Nation series. And like Eric Branson of Feral Nation, Alan Carson has the skills, training and combat experience to cope with such conditions better than most. Left with no other choice, he quickly adapts to life without the technology and support systems he knew in his life before.

Because he has traveled only seventeen years into the future, Alan Carson is able to reconnect with some of the people he knew in the life he left behind. This lends itself to infinite possibilities for plot twists and surprises, most of which I am still working to uncover as I move now from Book Two into Book Three. As with Feral Nation, I’m not sure at this point just how many books it will take to tell this story, but if reader interest in the first one is any indication, then I will be free to explore all the avenues that present themselves as the adventure unfolds.
