Audio fans: The Voyage of the White Cloud is now available on Audible.

My new standalone science fiction novel, The Voyage of the White Cloud, is out now in paperback, ebook and audiobook.

Can home be a place you’ve never been, a place no one has ever been? 

The White Cloud is the most audacious experiment the human species has ever undertaken—to search for a new Earth. The ship and its crew exist for a solitary purpose—to reach a distant planet and establish a colony. However, the vast majority of people undertaking this journey will not live to see its result, nor were they part of the decision-making process to leave.

A novel-in-stories, following the many generations who make the journey, The Voyage of the White Cloud asks how you can find meaning as a slave to destiny, a mere stepping-stone in history.

These are the stories of the most ordinary people on a most extraordinary journey.

I’m stoked to announce that the project I’ve been working on for the last year is out this week—and you can play the demo now!

From Choice of Games:

Welcome to Mars, where one last safecracking job could nab you enough platinum to last a lifetime. But how will you pull off your heist? Do you hack into the vault, blast your way in, or finesse the locks? Can you trust your misfit team of grifters and con artists? Can they trust you?

The Martian Job is an interactive text game where you create your own character to act as the protagonist. Find out more and play the demo now at Choice of Games.

Coming to Patreon in July as a serialized novel in text and audio, my new standalone novel The Voyage of the White Cloud.

I am so excited to be able to share with you the absolutely gorgeous cover by Kate Hargreaves for The Home for Wayward Parrots! Here is the publisher’s blurb:

Accustomed to being an only child, adoptee Brian “Gumbo” Guillemot’s teenage hobby was searching for his birth parents. After years without a lead, when he finally finds his birth mother, Kim, he’s unprepared for the boisterous instant family that comes with her.

No one, besides Kim, knows anything about Gumbo’s birth father. With Kim refusing to answer any questions, Gumbo must choose whether to continue the search, even if it means alienating his few friends and both his families. And the more he learns, the more he wonders whether some things are better left unknown.

Captivating and playful, The Home For Wayward Parrots explores friendship, romance, modern families and geek pop culture with wit, compassion and extremely foul-mouthed birds.

Coming May 1, 2018!
