About Breaker: A Spicy Dystopian Sci-fi Romance (The Price of Talent Book 1):

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…

Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.

Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn’s sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn’t give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn’t in the mood to make good on a debt when it’s called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.

On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.

And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology’s primed to procreate, and Flynn’s growled assurances that he won’t touch her doesn’t match the hunger in his eyes.

It doesn’t align with what fate has in store for them, either.

With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it’s a race to the North, away from Kara’s horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he’s forced to choose between protecting the woman he’s afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he’d never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara’s secrets don’t get them killed first.

About The Heights of Perdition: A Science Fiction Romance Series (The Divine Space Pirates Book 1):

Falling in love was out of the question … until it was the answer.

There is nothing Aeris St. Cloud wants more than to win her father’s love and the acceptance of her family unit by joining the Military Academy at New Hope. But after she is captured by the fearsome space pirate, Captain Chainsword, Aerie is certain falling in love with her nation’s arch enemy is the last possible way to earn their coveted esteem.

Driven by vengeance, Exton Shepherd never set out to save anyone. As he circles the war-torn world in his pirated starship, the Perdition, he only sees his father’s ghost lurking around every corner and the looming darkness on the horizon. When Aerie unexpectedly tumbles into his life, he finds he cannot trust her, anymore than he can ignore her. But just like the raging war down on Earth, it’s tempting to think he can …

When the war ascends to the heights of the Perdition, Aerie’s loyalty, and Exton’s heart, are put to the test. But will love be enough to save them — and others — from certain destruction?

FROM THE AUTHOR:

The Heights of Perdition is the first book in the Divine Space Pirates trilogy, a futuristic romance series where family, faith, and freedom take center stage.

FROM THE BOOK:

“Tell me your name. It’s a good place to start, don’t you think?”

“I’ll never give you any information. How could I, knowing what I know about you?”

“Perhaps there’s more to me than you realize.”

“You’re a hateful monster! What else do I possibly need to know?”

Aerie regretted her outburst less than a second later. The captain immediately left his chair and came close to her. Instinctively, she pulled back, but the pad behind her did not allow her to go far.

As he drew near, she got a good look at his face; though no longer adorned with the pirate’s wig and beard, she could see he was still masked. The apathy, the cynicism, the playful whimsy—all of it hid a deep crevice of pain inside of him.

The sudden urge to reach out and touch him shot through her. It was quickly followed by alarm and self-disgust.

“From your comments, I would assume you have yet to learn a great many things,” he told her, his voice sharp.

“What do you mean by that?” she asked, boldly meeting his gaze.

“First, your name is no small matter,” he said. “Destinies can be made and shaped by your name, though whether good or bad, it is up to you.”

He turned away from her abruptly and began pacing by her bed. Aerie listened to his steps resonate with certainty and distinctness, like a military cadence, as she tried to breathe properly.

“Second,” he continued, glancing at her from over his shoulder, “Despite what you might think, I am not a monster; merely a man.”

“I hardly see the difference,” she retorted, still rattled by his presence.

“I would expect that, given your education with the URS. Over the past decade, your beloved Daddy Dictator has managed to ensure your education, rigorous as it is, consists of really only following instructions, repeating the lies they prefer to the truth, and ignoring any logic that would unravel them or undermine their authority.”

WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:

Questions raised about government, religion, and human nature were peppered throughout the narrative, elevating The Heights of Perdition from a mere space fantasy to something much more thought-provoking. ~ Author Jess Jesinghaus

About IMMORTALITY: Epocalypse:

In the aftermath of the Epocalypse, the paradise of Babylon thrives in isolation safeguarded by a pair of Artificial Intelligences. For those deemed worthy, immortalization is within reach of a chosen few but they will pay a price far greater than anyone imagined for eternal life.

“Immortality” is a gripping page-turner that thrusts the reader into 2063, where Mankind faces existential obsolescence with the advent of synthetic eternal life. As the conflict between technological advancement and spiritual integrity intensifies, the battle to define immortality, divinity, and humanity is further complicated by the enigmatic nature of consciousness itself.

An exploration of Man’s view of himself, through the lens of self-perception, and one’s belief in a life beyond that of their mortal self. It is a cautionary tale. Like a toddler with a handgun, or Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project, humanity invites disastrous consequences when our capabilities outstrip our competence.

Immortality is already getting high praise from critics

“A compelling, frightening look into the future as A.I. rules the world and determinesoutcomes. ‘Immortality’ delves into the inherent conflict between seeking eternal lifethrough the use of machines and trying to live without them.
This post-apocalyptic talemakes for a thrilling ride to a life of robot rule and beyond.”

John J. Kelly, Detroit Free Press

“A novel written by someone who knows advanced computing and human behavior extremely well, will take you down AI paths you never imagined…Keep an open mind and buckle up for a fascinating ride through time, space, energy and life.”

Brad Butler, Author, “Without Redemption”5-Stars

“Readers will both be engulfed by the story and provoked into thought about a question that scientists, theologists, philosophers, storytellers, politicians, and free-thinkers have asked for decades: Could Artificial Intelligence, as it keeps moving toward its full potential, evolve or destroy humanity?”

Chris Cordani, Host of Book Spectrum, 5-stars

“A completely captivating epic saga – and an invitation to consider all possibilities of AI…Brilliant!”

Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars

“This is a prescient thriller that will leave one breathless and wanting to read again!”

Kathryn Picard, Librarian Book Connoisseur, 5-Stars
