The Militarian Job

Gwyn's smuggling activity has never been secret, but she has always flown under the radar of the Militarian -- until now. Forced to smuggle or die by order of the Militarian authority, she is on the run with a steep price on her head. Smuggling may be lucrative, but it becomes clear that her dangerous activity has compromised both herself, a new life form, and her family back home. Faced with a life sentence on a prison planet, she and Adrik, her new ex-Militarian ally, must find a way to right the wrongs they've committed, and escape the Militarian death-grip she's fallen under.

The Louvre Still Stands

Gwyn isn't afraid to get her hands dirty or going where she doesn't belong, even if the Militarian Authority is pursuing her. Regardless, of the price on her head, nothing is off limits for a smuggler with her own starship, and reliable intelligence bought for a steep price. Gwyn leads her comrades, ex-Militarian Adrik, and childhood friend, Rodrigo, in a high-stakes treasure hunt on a forbidden planet. If successful, she will be the only smuggler in the quadrant with access to the ancient treasures of the Louvre, and an endless supply of contraband. If she fails, the Militarian will send her and Adrik back to the prison planet they escaped from. Can Gwyn steal some of the greatest art in the galaxy from a planet locked down by the Militarian? Or, will she find herself locked away, while the priceless artifacts in the Louvre call her name?

The Louvre Still Stands is book two in the series, The Outer World Chronicles.

Fans of Firefly, Star Trek, and Indiana Jones are encouraged to try this mashup of worlds, where a female spacer leads a varied cast of characters on exciting missions through a world ruled by the all-powerful Militarian Authority.

Beneath the Metreskan Sands

Fortunately for her, her closest friend just happens to be Gwyn Casteliano, the best smuggler, and pilot in the quadrant. In a life and death chase, she will risk all to protect her findings. Will the government destroy her? Will she lose everything Beneath the Metreskan Sands?

Karn must unite forces with the most unlikely allies imaginable, the offspring of his mother's killer, and royal descendants of the Maekel clan. Together with his Warband, his new found allies, and the help of the goddess, he must learn to control the gifts the goddess has given, and resume the age of the dragon riders. Will Karn defeat the only man in Arcadia who carries a magic as powerful as his own? Can anyone survive the Maekel's bloodthirsty regime?
