​When Jake learns that this new enemy was responsible for the death of his father many years ago, he realizes he can finally face his true nemesis. The odds are stacked against Jake, but with the help of his friends and allies he’s made along the way, he must rally the remaining Legion troops and retake Earth before it’s too late. The fate of Earth and the fate of his love, rest in the balance.

Author Interview
  • If you were stuck on a deserted island, which 3 books would you want with you?

Besides the obvious choice of an instruction manual on how to build a boat (lol), I would want the Bible, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (one of my all-time favorite books), and a brand new, very long, science fiction book (maybe something by Andy Weir).

  • If you could put yourself as a character in your book, who would you be?

Jake Saunders, without a doubt. I would love to sword fight like he does!

  • How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing for a little over ten years.

  • Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?

Yes, I do. I generally take a break, and then think about the story at some later time without trying so hard, like when I’m driving or hiking in the woods. After forgetting about it for a while and then being relaxed when I do come back to the book, something then comes to me most of the time.

  • Do you have any hobbies?

I like the outdoors . . . hunting, fishing, hiking. But I have trouble finding time for these between practicing law and writing.

  • If there is one thing you want readers to remember about you, what would it be?

That no matter how much time I spent writing or practicing law or doing anything else, I always put my family first.

Book Description:

Caught between love and revenge, Jake has one chance to live up to the man his uncle was.

Earth crashed into interstellar politics as a lightweight, lagging so far behind other planetary weapons systems everyone feared they wouldn’t survive first contact with other worlds without quick action. By 2185, Earth had united itself into five geographic sectors and developed a defense system powerful enough to keep aggressors at bay—for now, at least.

Jake Saunders became a Legion soldier to honor the memory of his war hero uncle, who was brutally murdered in front of him when he was still a young teen. Fast forward a few years, and Jake and his best friend Cal have been tasked with escorting Cal’s older sister Diane to become Earth’s ambassador on a far-off planet. It’s the opportunity of Diane’s career, very likely a lifetime post. But for Jake, that could mean a lifetime’s heartbreak. He has loved Diane since they were kids, and every step closer to that ambassador assignment is a step closer to goodbye.

​But somebody is after more than Earth’s defense, and Jake, Cal, and Diane are on a trajectory to crash headlong into that dangerous plot. Somebody wants to play Earth against its most immediate threat, Craton, and convince both to develop super weapons—and he’s working with the person who killed Jake’s uncle all those years ago. When he reappears on Jake, Cal, and Diane’s journey to the ambassadorship, Jake is faced with difficult choices to look out for his friends and honor his uncle’s memory.
