Updates, Featured Book and Free Story of the Week

Happy Wednesday, everyone, and welcome to 2026!

Right now, I’m in between novels and working on two free stories that will get posted on Literotica.

Flash 06: The Temporary Wife. Part One is complete, and I am well into Part Two. You can read a preview of that here. I intend to get that completed as soon as possible, but I’m working on another story I want to finish first.

That story is a sequel to a Literotica tale titled “Her Marriage, Her Terms,” with the original author’s permission. Stay tuned for that. Spoiler alert: Dr. A, a.k.a. Adrestia Rhamnousia, the immortal goddess of retributive justice, plays a role. Adrestia is featured in four of my books on Amazon: Justice Rides and the Baalak Trilogy.

Unfortunately, that story is taking longer than I initially anticipated, but I hope to finish it very soon. I’m already about 12,000 words into it.

As for my upcoming novels… I am in the process of outlining two right now. One is a follow-up to A Climax in Time, and the other is a continuation of the Bill Jones saga. I am also working on some short stories for a new collection I hope to publish later this year. That’s all I’ll say about those projects for now. Stay tuned…

In the meantime, head over to Amazon, check out my author page, and sign up to get notified when something is published.


This week’s featured  book is “Rules.” Published on Amazon on June 19, 2022, this book tells the story of a couple whose marriage was destroyed by a strange cult governed by oppressive rules

From the Amazon description:

Jon Carlson and Sara Jenkins were childhood sweethearts who only wanted one thing — to be married to each other and live their dream. But there was only one problem.

Sara and her family belonged to a strange church governed by an oppressive set of rules. Jon was told that in order to marry Sara, he would have to join the church and live by its rules. He was warned against it, but his love for Sara and his trust in her blinded him to all the warnings.

He began the training and soon realized things were not as he had originally thought. But he stuck to it, in hopes things would work out. Everything came to a head on the night of his wedding when Sara was taken from him.

Does Jon escape the clutches of the church? Can he ever repair his relationship with Sara? Does he get the justice he seeks? Find out in “Rules.”

You can read a new excerpt here, then purchase your copy on Amazon here.
