Cosmic horror · Military sci-fi · First contact · Deep space dread
Find Your Entry Point
My books live where military sci-fi meets cosmic horror. You'll get tactics and chain-of-command, but with something vast and unknowable pressing in from the edges. The question isn't whether your plans will survive contact with the enemy. It's whether they'll survive contact with the universe.

Each series approaches that collision differently. The Veiled Core Chronicles gives you military political intrigue in a universe where faith and firepower share the same wiring. The Shepherd Descends is first contact as cosmic dread, where the signal isn't a greeting but an evaluation. Station 13 locks you in a deep-space installation where the cameras show things that shouldn't be there. Pick the flavor of dread you want first.
All entry points are available in Kindle and print, with audiobooks where noted.

Explore Station 13Questions readers ask
How scary are these, really?
They're science fiction first, but the horror is real. The Shepherd Descends builds cosmic dread slowly until it becomes unbearable. Station 13 is psychological horror with a claustrophobic edge. The Veiled Core Chronicles weaves existential dread into military and political systems, so the horror comes from what people do to each other as much as what's out there.
What if I want action more than dread?
Start with The Veiled Core Chronicles. It leans hardest into military science fiction, with battlefield tactics, political maneuvering, and institutional power. The cosmic horror is there, but it's embedded in the system rather than stalking the corridors.
Do I need to read them in a certain order?
No. Each is a clean entry point. Pick based on the kind of story you're in the mood for: war, contact, or confinement.
