Armando Medina is closer to finding out the truth behind his most tragic loss. With his rise in status, he’s determined to leverage his influence to discover all the answers he needs.

Izdahl Amasi remains intent on helping Armando. Even so, Izdahl knows the strained relations between the seven ruling Nitelvosa Families present serious obstacles to his partner’s goal. To protect Armando, Izdahl must reawaken destructive abilities he’d hoped never to use again.

Armando and Izdahl now have the full attention of the most powerful Nitelvosa, and with that comes increasing peril. They know there are those violently invested in hiding the truth. Their crafty opponents won’t think twice about manipulating the volatile situation to their advantage.

Can Armando and Izdahl keep each other safe, while trying to find answers? Or will the dangers be too much for them?

Armando Medina suffered a tragic loss at the hands of some Nitelvosa, supernatural beings who control his world. For decades, he’s been unable to forget the horrific night when his life changed.

Izdahl Amasi, a member of a prominent Nitelvosa family, had briefly dated Armando. He’d hoped for much more, but Armando’s trauma drove a painful wedge between them. With each passing day, Izdahl’s heart grew heavier, as he thought of what could have been.

Now, Armando and Izdahl find themselves connected in unexpected ways. Despite how much Armando tries to avoid the truth of their attraction, he’s drawn to Izdahl. Looming over them are events from Armando’s youth and the mystery of who’s responsible for his anguish. Can Armando open his heart and trust Izdahl? Or will Izdahl stop believing they have a chance?

New Sci-Fi Romance Series!

, , ,
Cityscape with birds flying. The city is divided by a wide river with a bridge. One side of the city has a massive figure with wings, kneeling above the buildings.

Since I’ve completed The Agitator’s Code Series, my focus is on publishing Awakening this summer. It will be book one in The Architect’s Guardian, a new exciting sci-fi series.

The main characters in this m/m romance are Armando Medina and Izdahl Amasi. While they were close during their childhood, tragic circumstances separated them. As a result, they must navigate difficult paths. The series explores how strongly connected they are, what they’re willing to do for each other, and the impact they’ll have on their society. At the center of the chaos is a mystery about Armando and his family.

One of my favorite parts of writing is worldbuilding. That’s definitely the case with this series. Humans aren’t on Earth. They’re on Planet Ghenza, home to the Nitelvosa. The Nitelvosa are imposing beings who fly, wield the elements, and perform various types of magic. Some Nitelvosa are much more powerful than others, and not all are in favor of Humans. In addition, the Nitelvosa have conflicts among themselves that are held in check by shaky truces.

Izdahl comes from a prominent Nitelvosa family, while Armando is from a Human family that sought more societal influence. How will Armando and Izdahl navigate tricky internal and external conflicts? Find out soon!

Be on the lookout for my cover reveal and a pre-order link. 😉

Summer 2022 Story Updates

The year is flying by and it’s already Summer of 2022! Here are my plans for this season.

The Agitator’s Code: My goal is to publish Tildari Sunrises this fall. I might need to adjust the release date, as the last book in my sci-fi m/m romance trilogy is the most complex. I also have other ideas involving Darion and Tolrek, but I’ll cover those in a different update. Vaironian Tides and Ledani Moons are available, as ebooks and as paperbacks, here and here.

The Architect’s Guardian: Revising Awakening, the first book of this series, is still a priority. I’m on track to publish it in Summer 2023!

Spring 2022 Story Updates

It’s time to enjoy Spring of 2022! Here are my plans for this season.

The Agitator’s Code: Later this year, I’ll release Tildari Sunrises, the third and final book in this series! It’s so exciting to be wrapping up Darion and Tolrek’s trilogy. Vaironian Tides and Ledani Moons are available as ebooks or paperbacks here and here.

The Architect’s Guardian: I’m steadily revising Awakening, the first book of this series. I also have significant material I’m considering for the sequel. I plan to publish book one in Fall 2023.

Summer 2021 Story Updates

Summer of 2021 has arrived! Here are my plans for this season.

The Agitator’s Code: Check out my cover reveal for Ledani Moons, the second book in my scifi, m/m romance series! The first book, Vaironian Tides, is available at these retailers.

The Architect’s Guardian: I’ll be working on another revision of Awakening, book one of this series.

Balance: My focus is on my other stories for this year, but this series is simmering.
