Ever the Wayward Sky

The Civil War is over. But for Sergeant James Taft, there seems to be no end in sight. He had seldom considered what he would do after the war because he never believed he would live through it.

James briefly returns to Pennsylvania in an unsuccessful attempt to work as a farmer. He then sets out to find peace and somehow vanquish the ghosts in his soul. What he can't possibly foresee, as he rides west, is the epic story of tragedy, triumph, and finding oneself.

"It's unfortunate, but true, that darkness must often be complete before we notice the subtle glimmer of hope." - Doc Jefferies, Ever the Wayward Sky.

The Revenant's Mark

A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution

Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back.

Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods.

As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.

Epic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant’s Mark blends dark Americana, supernatural horror, and historical fiction into a haunting tale of war, identity, and the ancient forces buried in the soil of a still-fighting land.

Perfect for fans of Robert McCammon’s Speaks the Nightbird, HBO’s The Revenant, and the eerie mythos of The Witch.

Restoring America's Greatness

Can America be a rich nation if we don't create our own goods and services? The short answer is no; we may be a wealthy country now, but that won't last long if manufacturing continues to decline. In this book, it will be no secret that reshoring has its problems and is preventing companies from making the switch to manufacturing in America.

In "Restoring America's Greatness," you will learn the damaging effects politics has had on American manufacturing and how policies such as the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) were an unfair deal for the American people. You will also discover how environmental policies are a hinderance to our success since they only give the upper hand to the competition. Additionally, the author will also argue the need for major protectionism and how corporations are taking advantage of the American people by offshoring their manufacturing and services.

Many believe that the need for free trade outweighs the impact on businesses, which would be hurt by foreign companies importing cheaper goods. But, too many Americans are getting the short end of the stick in the globalized economy. Manufacturing is potentially the most important industry in the United States economy, and it needs to be protected.

The Sovereign Accord: The Dominion Chronicles

 

The Sovereign Accord:

The Dominion Chronicles

The Gods Didn’t Die, They Rebranded. In a world where the gods didn’t die—they simply upgraded—humanity teeters on a razor’s edge between cosmic evolution and total annihilation. Meet Ra: part fiery rebel, part cosmic punching bag, and 100% destined to either save us all or send us hurtling into oblivion. But here’s the twist—every move she’s ever made? Someone else already downloaded and rewrote the code. Cue the eye roll. From the marble halls of the Sovereign Accord—where elites sip ambrosia lattes and debate the latest galaxy-gentrification trends—to the neon-soaked backstreets where AI-hybrid rebels spark clandestine riots, Ra must dodge scheming gods with egos bigger than supernovae, rogue sentient algorithms with daddy issues, and her own fluttering, firecracker heart. She’s stuck in a cosmic love-triangle that would make soap-operas weep: there’s Mehen—the guy who literally has divine dust on his resume and a “husband” title that reads more like three syllables of doom—and Lion Roch, the AI-royal bad boy with eyes like molten gold and a smirk that could reboot your firmware. Prophecy? More like prophecy.exe malfunctioning—instead of grand heroism, Ra’s inbox is clogged with cryptic messages from voices claiming they wrote her script centuries ago. As interstellar conspiracies fizzle and explode like faulty warp engines, erotic tension sizzles hotter than a solar flare: will she let Mehen cradle her with divine command, or crash into Lion’s arms, where every touch feels like a hacked update to her primal instincts? Here’s the real kicker: the Sovereign Accord has been pulling her puppet strings since time immemorial, like a cosmic marionette show with way too many plot holes. Now, Ra has to decide—embrace her role as the glitch jam in their holy system or break free and rewrite the entire damn code. The fate of Earth rides on her last exhale. The Sovereign Accord isn’t your grandma’s fantasy. It’s equal parts high-stakes drama, steamy face-offs, and explosive revelations—packed with unapologetically badass heroines, dangerously alluring antiheroes, and plot twists that slap harder than a summoned thunderbolt. If you crave forbidden romances, outrageous secrets, and an empire teetering on meltdown, Dominion Chronicles Volume One is your next obsession. Strap in, stargazer—it’s about to get deliciously chaotic.

CARE

"Dependency, Unison had discovered, was stronger than shackles. It made people complicit in their own submission. It turned hunger into a leash, technology into a muzzle, and community into informants."

CARE offers a chillingly plausible future where the lines between humanity and AI blur, leaving the reader to question the true cost of progress and the meaning of freedom.

At its heart, CARE is a deeply human story of resistance, identity, and the quiet, revolutionary power of care.

In a not-so-distant future where power masquerades as order, one young man must choose between obedience and awakening.

In the United Isles of Britannus and Hibernus (formerly Great Britain and Ireland), the authoritarian Unison Trust governs a society ostensibly rebuilt in fragile unity from the ashes of a global pandemic.

Here, Scott Hunter lives a life defined by profound contrasts. Born into the ruling elite of the Unison Trust, his privilege is shadowed by the daily challenges of living with cerebral palsy. As he navigates this meticulously constructed society with his android assistant DEC-E, he senses the sinister truth beneath the synthetic calm. Scott's curiosity leads him to investigate the flaws within this fractured society and events begin to transpire. As tensions rise and the whisper of rebellion grows louder, Scott is drawn into a conflict that will challenge everything he thought he knew about his world, his past, and what it means to be human.

This powerful dystopian debut is rich in atmospheric detail, painting a hauntingly plausible vision of a future where technological advancement has come at a steep ethical price. The novel grapples with complex questions surrounding the ethics of advanced artificial intelligence, exploring the delicate and increasingly ambiguous boundary that separates sophisticated machinery from sentient beings. Influenced by the author’s formative experiences growing up amidst the deep political divisions of Northern Ireland, and his early career as a care provider to vulnerable individuals, the novel weaves personal insight with speculative imagination.

The Great Dimming

 "The Great Dimming: The Modern IQ Decline" investigates a paradox that would have seemed unthinkable just decades ago: even as technology advances at breakneck speed, our collective cognitive capabilities appear to be deteriorating.

Through compelling research and analysis, the book reveals how IQ scores that rose steadily throughout the 20th century (the Flynn Effect) have now reversed in developed nations. Core cognitive capabilities like abstract reasoning, working memory, and critical thinking are declining at measurable rates, with profound implications for society's future. Unlike simplistic explanations blaming technology alone, "The Great Dimming" presents a multifaceted analysis of interlocking factors driving this trend. From environmental toxins altering neural development to the attention-fragmenting effects of digital media, from educational systems failing to develop deep thinking to lifestyle changes disrupting sleep and physical activity—each contributes to a perfect storm of cognitive challenges. Beyond identifying problems, the book presents evidence-based solutions at every level. For individuals, it offers a practical toolkit of interventions ranked by effectiveness, from cardiovascular exercise that boosts cognitive function by 15-20% to digital wellness practices that enhance focus by 40%. For communities and policymakers, it showcases successful case studies like Singapore's "Smart Environment" program and Vermont's comprehensive cognitive health initiative, demonstrating real-world models for intervention. What sets "The Great Dimming" apart is its balance of rigorous science, accessible explanations, and practical optimism. While unflinching in its assessment of alarming trends, it also reveals our remarkable neuroplasticity and potential for recovery. The book makes a compelling case that addressing the Great Dimming represents our most crucial challenge—not just for intellectual progress, but for solving existential threats like climate change and social polarization. By protecting and enhancing our cognitive capabilities, we don't just preserve human intelligence; we create the conditions for a new flowering of human potential.
