26, AD
After losing everything to a would-be messiah and the bloodlust of Rome, Thaddeus refuses to investigate a mystery for Pontius Pilate. Four years later, thousands of crosses line the roads outside a ruined
Jerusalem. Thaddeus goes back through time and enters Herod's court as Pilate's investigator. Sometimes, fools must rush in where angels fear to tread.
Detective, 26 AD, my second novel, is available as an ebook now. Paperback coming soon.

Steampunk Cleopatra
Amani, a companion of Cleopatra, seeks to rediscover Egypt's suppressed science and history. She is the beloved of her princess, but that may not be enough to overcome the system they've inherited. If she fails, her country and Cleopatra, both, could fall.
History meets fantasy, and together, they create something new. Experience an intelligent thriller about star-crossed lovers and an ancient science that might have been.

My legs shivered. “Haints.”
“Cause they haint there.”
