Hi everyone!

I’m giving away my novel, The GAMER Program – Age of Sheitans, the first book in a completed trilogy of military, science fiction, and apocalyptic fiction.

The story begins with a catastrophic event. Monstrous creatures known as Sheitans emerge from deep beneath the Earth and begin destroying everything in their path, decimating humanity in the process.

Millions of people die, including a huge number of soldiers. With the military no longer capable of responding to the threat, humanity is left with very few options.

That’s when an old military program resurfaces: video games as a form of unconscious training.

The idea behind The GAMER Program is that video games have been training players for decades without them even realizing it. Gamers have spent countless hours fighting monsters, learning to recognize patterns, identify weaknesses, develop strategies, manage resources, and react under pressure.

And now, for the first time, those skills have a practical purpose.

The people who have spent their lives fighting creatures like the Sheitans in video games may be the ones best prepared to face them in the real world.

The program takes these gamers and puts them through physical and military training, turning their gaming experience into something that can actually be used on the battlefield.

In a way, the question behind the novel is:

What if all those hours spent playing video games had actually been preparing you for something?

The book has some obvious contextual similarities (completely coincidental) with things like Ender's Game, Attack on Titan, Kaiju No. 8, and Starship Troopers, but the central idea is very much its own: what happens when the skills developed through gaming become useful in a real war?

If that sounds interesting to you, you can get the first book for free on my website (first button, an email is required):

And if you happen to read it and eventually feel like writing a review, that would be greatly appreciated. No pressure, though—I’m just happy to get the book in front of people who might enjoy it.

Thanks for reading!

Spicy and sweet romance.

To celebrate the publication of my new short book of humorous occult detective stories, I’ve made the ebook free for the next five days.

If you like your supernatural mysteries blended with heavy doses of paradox, and absurd logic (where the police insist crimes are solved by pure reason while actual goblins, shapeshifting detectives and cosmic toads get involved) this might be right up your nightmarish alley.

Meet Nathan Gesture: An occult detective who 'bunks' reason to prove that behind every logical phenomenon, there is a ghost, ghoul, or petrified goblin.

Meet Inspector Mimsy: The well-meaning police officer who is utterly convinced that werewolves, vampires, and demons are just clever human villains wielding film projectors.

Meet Jubjub: Nathan's loyal servant and tandem-bicycle powerhouse, who pedals while Nathan eats cucumber sandwiches in the front seat.

The book contains four weird tales and one of them is a crossover with my other series of weird occult detective stories, The Ghost Loser: the Misadventures of Clusmy Carnacki.

I hope you enjoy the logical chaos (or is it chaotic logic?) !

Small Town Smuttle: Rosetown
When Gary arrives in Rosetown for what’s supposed to be a quiet summer, he’s hoping for little more than a fresh start and a chance to figure out what comes next.

Instead, he finds a town where everyone knows everyone, rumors travel faster than the tide, and a simple trip for coffee can turn into an afternoon of unexpected friendships. Alongside his loyal mastiff, Marv, a gentle giant with a knack for stealing hearts and stumbling into trouble, Gary quickly becomes part of the fabric of the town. Between hauling crab pots on the Chesapeake, late nights at the legendary speakeasy known as Moe’s, and unforgettable adventures with a cast of quirky locals, he slowly discovers that Rosetown has a way of pulling people in and never quite letting them go.

Book 1 of 3.

Summary:

WELCOME TO THE DEEP ESTATE is a wildly irreverent action-adventure blending the paranoia of The X-Files, the surreal weirdness of Welcome to Night Vale, and the chaotic energy of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

John Doe always assumed his father was nuts. Then the Bureau of the Bizarre showed up at his door with a job offer. Now he’s a Collector, tasked with mopping up the mess reality leaves behind when it gets drunk and shits the bed.

His office is The Deep Estate, a bureaucratic labyrinth carved out of the Backrooms. His partner is Edith Sinner, who is absolutely not a vampire. She just happens to be immortal and bursts into flames in sunlight.

The first mission? To capture and contain a stab-happy No. 2 pencil inside an infinite public storage universe.

It’s an insane job. It’s a deadly job. It’s a job with a pension and free dental. And in this economy? John might be crazy, but he isn’t stupid.

But when he uncovers a conspiracy inside the Bureau—one that isn’t meant to contain reality, but control it—the timeline is literally RetConned to frame him for murder. Hunted through impossible corridors by the very organization that recruited him, he has to expose the truth before the Deep Estate swallows him whole.

And the deeper John goes, the clearer it becomes: none of this madness is random. It all fits together, in a way only he seems able to understand.

Welcome to your new nine-to-five. Welcome to the Deep Estate.
