Serena Darkwood: pilot, smuggler, hellcat, and the most wanted woman in the galaxy.

After the chaos aboard the generational ship Eclipse, when the Life Clock—an ancient relic—slipped from her grasp and into the hands of the Capital Guard, Serena held onto the one truth that mattered: she knew the location of the Key capable of unlocking the device’s mysteries.

When a Capital warship descends on Broker Rodune, Serena and everyone who survived the Eclipse become targets, hunted for clues to the Key’s whereabouts. What they fail to grasp however is that the Key isn’t an artifact—but a person.

Now Serena must shield Astra Gray and keep the truth hidden from a ruthless military government on Capital—her homeworld, and out of the grasp of Serena’s most dangerous adversary: her own mother.

More Purple Mystique Coming Soon

I'm working on the 10th Stormgate Press Quick Read book, titled: "Dressed in Purple". Featuring the elusive Purple Mystique, her 3rd book in the series. She has quickly become a favorite with girls stopping by my table (and the boys too).

The Barbarian With No Name

He rode towards the east, the Barbarian with no name…

Now, for the first time, comes an epic tale that will transport you to a world of high fantasy in Tales From the Other Side of the World. When a cunning and malevolent sorcerer casts a dark spell over King Xon, the once-great ruler of the empire is turned into a pawn of destruction. 

With his twisted magic, the sorcerer manipulates the minds of the kingdom’s people, bending their will to serve his sinister purpose. Deceit, chaos, and betrayal grip the land as the empire falls into darkness, turning the people against the one man who can save them. 

From the creative mind of Charles F. Millhouse, author of the Captain Hawklin Adventures, comes the first thrilling chapter in a brand-new saga of swords, sorcery, and savage heroism. Step into a world of danger and destiny, where the fate of an empire rests on the shoulders of a lone barbarian.

Available exclusively in the Stormgate Store as part of the Stormgate Press Quick Read Series Wave 2 for $15.00 (Available individually on Amazon for $9.99 each).

Stormgate Press Quick Read Book 8: Night Vision

A man cursed with visions of murder. A masked vigilante sworn to stop them. A nation on the brink.

Professor Simon Rook suffers from a rare and debilitating form of day blindness, rendering him helpless in the sunlight but leaving him with something far more dangerous. By day, his mind is flooded with chilling visions of crimes that will happen after dark.

By night, he becomes The Night Vision, a masked vigilante determined to stop them before it’s too late. When he foresees a brutal murder, he not only witnesses the crime, he sees the face of the killer.

But when that very man arrives at NYU, spreading the poison of fascist propaganda, Rook realizes the murder is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface lies a conspiracy that threatens to dismantle American democracy itself. With time running out and danger closing in, Simon Rook must embrace his alter ego like never before.

But can The Night Vision unravel the mystery before darkness swallows the nation whole? Justice waits for no one. Especially in the dark.
