Nothing bad is happening at Fermin Delton University.
After all, Leonard Marsh’s elder daughter, Maxine, has been off attending the prestigious school for two years now and seems to be doing quite well. Eager to reconnect with her, Leonard, together with his bright and passionate wife, Essie, and their unassuming younger daughter, Julia, makes his first visit to the town of Delton where young Julia will be introduced to her prospective college and they can all be together as a family once again.
But every moment he spends on FDU’s campus, Leonard finds increasingly strange omens as he learns about the school, its people, and their dark secrets. Before long, he discovers that his impressionable children are being manipulated. If he and Essie are unable to contend against the mind-consuming horrors they uncover at the heart of FDU, they may find both of their daughters lost forever.

A routine expedition to an unexplored planetoid leads a small mining crew to the stupefying discovery of an abandoned alien civilization. When the first exploration attempt in the alien ruins nearly results in the death of their captain, the question of the crew’s safety becomes paramount as Rosalyn—the reserved and intelligent second-in-command—attempts to salvage the mission.
But their peril deepens exponentially when a deadly alien creature boards the ship, stranding them on the planetoid and hunting them down one by one. To ensure their survival, Rosalyn must point them toward a bold, offensive strategy that will not only save their lives, but uncover the world-threatening mysteries of the unknown liquid substance awaiting them deep in the ruins: SECLURM.

SOULCAGE
Release date: 2022
Message or email me if you would like to read a pre-publication copy of Soulcage.
“The Soulcage made you immortal. With it, you could do a thousand things ordinary people could never do. Go places you would never go and talk to people you would never meet. But whatever you did, it would never be your own life. Everything, good or bad, was felt only through a thick layer of separation, an inescapable barrier to the tangible, the authentic. In the Soulcage, experiencing life—real life—was impossible.”
Prisoner of war Montgomery Noa dwells beside the Soulcage: a machine that transports his mind into another body—a body that is usually robotic, always expendable, and all-too frequently intended to serve tyrants, kill innocents, or demean Montgomery himself. His consciousness is returned to his imprisoned body and then sent to another day after day. His captors see to it that defiance is appropriately punished. He dies. He suffers. He lives every life but his own.
And he cannot help but wonder if he will even be the same person if and when he escapes.
