On Virgin Moors
First published September 2021
The Unity holds dominion over the breadth of space. And now, at last, they've set their sights on the final prize. That prize is Essegena - a planet at the farthest edge of the universe, ripe for human habitation and yet completely untouched.
But all is not well on Essegena. Three of the colony's pioneers have vanished without a trace, and in their place a man has appeared who - according to all the records - simply does not exist. Worse still, the infant colony is beset with concerning reports of mysterious lights in the distant trees, shadowy phantoms haunting the edges of their nascent home, strange noises from high up on the cliffs.
The colonists need to stay united if they're to make Essegena a success story - but with ambitious vipers around every corner, they've never been more divided.
Once they dreamed of a fresh start, far away from their former lives. Now that dream is fast becoming a nightmare.

The Burgeoning Storm
First published September 2024
A darkness rises.
The halcyon days of Essegena are over, and it hasn’t even been a year. Death’s heavy hand has already fallen upon the Eia Valley. As winter draws near, so the shadows begin to deepen. And within those shadows are unspeakable things.
Governor Ballard is losing allies. His wife is dead. His oldest friend has abandoned his cause, en route to the Hive—the beating heart of the Unity. David Clifford, newly-made Lord Constable, is the Governor’s closest remaining friend. But he has other concerns. A series of grisly murders rocks the already-fragile colony.
To the north of the valley, Macel Donea travels north, hoping to find the missing Bessily Edwards. Bess, meanwhile, learns secrets about the power inside her and the people who were living on Essegena before the Eia and its passengers ever took to space.
And through it all, the storms begin to build. When the thunder cracks, nothing about life on Essegena is going to be the same again.
