Fiction

These are the writing projects I and my mate are working on or have completed.

Sai Series

Over the years, I received many complaints that The Golden Sands was much too long, even after I cut it down to 170,000. Therefore, I've undertaken a project to split it into three books: The Pages War, The Bitter Descent, and The Golden Sands. The other books in the trilogy, The Neon Days and The Silicon City, will likely receive a similar treatment; there's also room for brand-new adventures.

Si Trilogy (deprecated)

The Golden Sands (Si Trilogy, part 1)

A mentally-ill writer leaves her harsh apartment and embarks on a journey through Hell with an ancient mage and his lover queen. Along the way, the mage, queen, and a megalomaniacal king relate their story of revenge, intrigue, war, and a struggle as old as time.

Status: Publishing?

The Neon Days (Si Trilogy, part 2)

Our writer returns after a year of recovery from her trip to Hell. Unable to cope with the depression and monotony of the city, she strikes out into the desert and discovers secrets beyond the mountain. Upon her return, a corrupt organization and a mysterious villain stalk her . . . and her friend, the ancient mage. Throughout her travels, a spirit trapped with hers relates the story of a long-dead warrior woman.

Status: Written for NaNoWriMo '07. Beta-reading with online community.

The Silicon City (Si Trilogy, part 3)

The world is dying. The gods have nearly given up. Soon, only the denizens of Si remain: a young woman, once insane; an ancient mage, now trying to control his growing power; a reborn king with visions of power; and an old sacrifice who has grown close to the Creatrix. The Si trilogy will come to an epic, crashing end as the gods battle and mortals claw to survive.

Status: Written for NaNoWriMo '08. Requires an author run-through to catch obvious mistakes and review plot.

Force/Object Set

Unstoppable Force (formerly The Singing Game)

Psychics terrorize the world, held back only by a private army owned by nobles. During an attack on a village controlled by a powerful psychic, a soldier named Tam rescues and adopts an amnesiac young woman, whom he names T. She later meets a mysterious young man named Xander. Psychics begin invading their lives, pitting them against each other in an escalating conflict of desire and pain.

Immovable Object

The war continues as universal forces ramp the human/psychic war to the next level.

Status: Written for NaNoWriMo '09 and '10. Requires an author run-through to catch obvious mistakes and review plot. Possible third book (tentatively 'Unending War'?) on the way.

Gear Saints

Heronberg is a city where strange things happen and the residents don't care. A young lady moves in expecting opportunity and instead discovers chaos, usually at the hands of her inventor neighbor, his grumpy roommate, and a little rolling ball of insanity called Bobo. Up against our heroes are doppelgangers, time-travellers, an awesome vampire hunter, animate grocery stores, fallen gods, a psychotic CEO and his mad scientist, and more.
