2026 Releases

Hello! It's been a while since I've updated this website, and I've realized that I've got SO MANY BOOKS that I have to reorganize a little bit. Plus, this site was built on WordPress tech that was cutting-edge circa 2018 when I still worked as a developer, but I've ignored web dev tools since then, so the seams are about to burst (or in tech speak, the updates aren't playing well with each other).

However, I still have duty of care to provide good info to you all, so here we go: I have FOUR (4!) releases in 2026, and at least two for 2027. Those are:

Star Wars: Outlaws - Low Red Moon (February 3): Prequel to the Star Wars: Outlaws video game about ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax featuring a whole bunch of underworld goodness. Note that you do NOT have to play the game to enjoy this, as it works as a standalone underworld/ISB title. Preorder receipts can nab you a free book plate and you can meet me in San Francisco to get a signed book in person!

The Photonic Effect (April 21): Original space opera inspired by my genre favorites, including Star Trek, Mass Effect, and Robotech.

Critical Role: The Mighty Nein - Stories Untold (August 11): Anthology for Critical Role's second campaign. I have a short story about beloved shopkeeper Pumat Sol taking place shortly after the encounter at the Chantry of the Dawn.

Of Sorcery and Science (September): My YA debut formerly known as A Magical Science, about a high schooler who disappeared for a few days into a fantasy realm where he learned magic and became a big hero, only to come home and find that trig tests and college applications are still a thing.
