The Alpha Protocol:

A Sci-Fi LitRPG Adventure

(Symphony Book 1)


Finding himself suddenly teleported to a new dimension, a former English teacher becomes the god of a world of his own making, in this portal fantasy.

Fresh off a break-up and now unemployed, veteran and former high school English teacher Walker Reed is ready to succumb to a grim and hopeless depression. But when an enigmatic stranger stops him in the street, he’s suddenly hurled into another dimension.

There, Walker gets to build his own world from scratch following the Alpha Protocol, which invites special individuals from across the universe to become “Creators”—generating everything from their own land masses and celestial bodies to a comprehensive, recorded religion.

With the help of his robotic assistant, Virgil—who happens to be a four-foot-tall squirrel—Walker sets about building out his geography, evolutionary systems, and creatures. But it’s not like playing in a sandbox, and he quickly realizes his creations can have world-ending consequences. Not to mention the creators are regularly pitted against one another in the Creator Wars . . .

As if all that weren’t bad enough, if Walker can’t complete the Alpha Protocol, he’ll be sent back to his previous reality, which has only gotten darker. As he unlocks new systems and paths, can he balance his desire to be a peaceful, benevolent, and ethical god? Or will everything devolve into chaos?

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Tears from A Journal

Gates with a Heart Upon it.

Tears from A Journal


You don't need to lose a loved one in order to be more appreciative of those still around you, like your family, close friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers. Forget about the elements that distinguish us from one other, let go the notion of countries, federal agents, 007's, religions, borders, and walls! They are mere illusions compared to the deeper values rooted in humanity.

I know we are all very busy people, caught in the habitual chaos of our own realities, but still, when was the last time you used your love and strength to help a complete stranger without expecting anything in return?

Magick From Chaos to Clarity Is Free on Kindle (for a Limited Time): July 24–28, 2025

   Woman with Eyes covered and Thrid Eye


 

Magick From Chaos to Clarity Is Free on Kindle (for a Limited Time): July 24–28, 2025

From Chaos to Clarity — and into your Kindle

Grab your wands and mark your calendars, because something magickal is happening July 24–28, 2025. For five enchanting days, "Magick: From Chaos to Clarity" will be available FREE on Kindle.

That’s right—absolutely zero coins, potions, or gold bars required.

But before we get into the sparkly details, let’s address the dragon in the room…

"Did you spell magick wrong?"

Nope. It’s spelled with a “k” on purpose. That k stands for the kind of energy that doesn’t involve rabbits in hats or flashy card tricks. This is real magick—the kind that transforms lives, redirects energy, and brings clarity to the chaos that often swirls around us like a dramatic thunderstorm in a fantasy novel.

(Although, if you do manage to pull a rabbit out of your hat after reading this book, let us know.)

So, What’s This Book About?

"Magick: From Chaos to Clarity" isn’t your run-of-the-mill mystical mumbo jumbo. This is a guidebook for stepping into your power, tuning into the energetic frequencies of the universe, and learning how to wield magick in its truest, most intentional form.

Inside these pages, you’ll explore:

  • How to createdirect, and share your personal magick

  • The art of practicing solo, in small or large groups—and how to tap into global magick

  • The beautiful relationship between love and magick

  • The mind-blowing truth that billions of people are creating magick daily without realizing it

  • How magick is the most unlimited, renewable resource in the universe

Seriously. Unlimited. Like, the Costco-sized jar of peanut butter of metaphysical energy—only better.

Who Should Read This?

If you’ve ever:

  • Felt that strange pull from the universe at 3:33 a.m.

  • Wanted to use your energy for good but weren’t sure how

  • Doubted your own power (don’t worry, we all do)

  • Believed that love, energy, and intention can actually shift the world…

Then this book is calling your name—possibly in a slightly mysterious whisper.

Your Invitation to Step into Magick

You don’t need a cape, crystals (though they’re fun), or a secret initiation ceremony. All you need is an open mind, a curious heart, and a Kindle app.

From July 24–28, 2025, "Magick: From Chaos to Clarity" is completely free.

Download it. Read it. Transform with it.
And maybe—just maybe—become the intentional magick-maker you were always meant to be.

Sacrificial Lambs


Long ago, before Genesis, a secret experiment was conducted. One which consisted of combining the DNA of a reptilian humanoid with the celestial chemistry of an angel.

Ever the Wayward Sky

 

Schooner ship on a foggy night

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

 

Stern Looking Man on Greenish Blue back ground

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.

The 7-Week Blueprint to Accelerate Your Income, Opportunity & Outcomes


STOP GRINDING. START WINNING.

You’re busting your knuckles in the cold, the chaos, the mud—believing it’ll pay off. A company truck. A competitive salary. A seat at the table. A life on your terms.

Wake up.

You know how to build a map—but no one taught you how to read it. Countless tradesmen and contractors are left stuck without a clear path to elevate their position, their company, or their life. Feeling stuck isn’t unique. What you do about it is.

If every weekday feels like a rerun, here’s your wake-up call: You haven’t changed—but you’ve expected everything else to. The ones who win? They adapt. They grow. They lead. The real Decision-Makers don’t just swing harder—they master people, profit, perception, and potential—they accelerate.

This is the essential guide for the blue-collar worker who’s done waiting—and the contractor who’s not done building.

Tradesmen will master the social jungle, build allies, stack high-value connections, speak with purpose, influence outcomes, eliminate costly mistakes, and skyrocket their value.

Contractors will build better assets in the field—and stronger balance sheets in the books. A team with the right mindset and skills reduces turnover, increases accountability, boosts safety, sharpens communication, and drives productivity.

This simple, effective roadmap delivers high-income skills, strategic insights, and weekly jobsite challenges to turn you into a decision-maker—the kind contractors fight to keep, promote, and invest in.

Stop waiting for permission.

Restoring America's Greatness

 Book cover Circles of America


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.
