Chaser
Everything went straight to hell after Boiler’s first day on the job. Her first assignment for the Fugitive Retrieval Agency went off without a hitch. With her bounty-hunting career off to a fantastic start, she planned to celebrate first with her family, then later with a pair of her high-school crushes, hoping one thing would lead to another, before accepting her next gig in the morning. There was nowhere to go from here but upward and onward. But only a few hours later, fallout from that first success dropped on her like a meteorite, and her whole world imploded on her. Targeted by a vengeful local crime lord, the hunter became the hunted. With bounty hunters, assassins, and mercenaries coming after Boiler, her family, her friends, and her two lovers, there’s no safe place on Earth. Their flight takes them to the jumpgate and starship construction station in orbit above Io, where they lay low and hope the situation back home blows over. There, Boiler slowly finds her place on the station’s security team, makes new friends, and begins to build a new life with her boyfriend and girlfriend. But even five hundred million miles from Earth, Boiler can't remain hidden forever. Available for purchase on Amazon. Five-star review and author Q&A |

"Load" is first novel in a post-cyberpunk series set a few decades from now in a city built from the ground up by a group of mega-corporations. It follows the adventures of a young man with cybernetic eyes, his bioengineered girlfriend, and their roommate, as they stumble onto a data-smuggling plot that could cost them their lives before they can find a way out. Meanwhile, their daughter and son arrive from the future on a mission to avert a disaster that destroyed the city and killed millions of people.
Jack, Corona, and Taura are ordered to lay low for a few days while waiting for the dust to settle after the events of "Load." Set between that book and "Fifteen Minutes," this novella offers a glimpse into their off-duty lives--how they deal with their temporary home (a safe house that might be described as a "fixer-upper"), what they do to pass the time, and the growing love triangle between the three of them.

In the sequel to "Load," Jack, Corona, and Taura begin their first job for a dodgy government agency which not only opens a can of worms that they may not survive, but also lands them in the weirdest situation they've ever faced--an audience watching their every move. At the same time, their future-daughter tracks a fugitive wanted for a crime he didn't commit, and finds herself facing down an assassin who can't be killed.
A routine investigation leads Jack, Corona, and Taura to a project whose purpose is to reanimate corpses and use them as weapons. Meanwhile, two of their friends get caught up in an ongoing investigation of the case that got former detective Lola Ramirez tossed off the police force, leading to an explosive confrontation. Also, an old enemy hits very close to home, and tech from the cyber-zombie project could be the only hope of keeping a dear friend alive.
