Daniel Sheppard's life as a priest was continually filled with controversy. His thirst for knowledge and his desire to question everything ruffled feathers within the church, but his passion and inspiration moved and stimulated his parishioners. Going against the will of the Archbishop, Father Daniel joined Osiris, a group of scholars from various religions. Using their combined knowledge, and that of a leading quantum physicist, they sought answers to the deepest of questions. But even together, the forces of religious segregation sought to undermine all that they stood for. Daniel was no stranger to this sort of intrigue, but he did not expect this path would lead him toward one of the most amazing and wondrous spiritual revelations of the modern era.

The first volume in the epic fantasy series Soulwoven. Litnig Jin has spent his life yearning for the power to weave the souls of the dead into magic. His brother Cole has spent his believing in nothing bigger than his own two hands. When a dragon sinks its claws into their nightmares, both of their lives will change forever. A dream of moving statues, shattered chains, and seething clouds of darkness sets the brothers on a journey into the unknown. A prince asks for their help. A necromancer hunts them. The bloom of first love gives Cole something to believe in. And as the brothers travel the world of Guedin seeking to prevent the hatred of a god from coming to life, Litnig learns that there are prices to pay for all power, and that the power he seeks may cost him more than he can possibly imagine. Soulwoven is a story of high fantasy, high adventure, and high soul searching in eight points of view, written with people between the ages of 15 and 30 in mind. I love it, and I hope you will too. Edit: An updated version of Soulwoven is available commercially. Help me write more and buy a copy! The print book will look great on your shelf, I promise. :-) Favorite reader blurbs!

"I can't believe we're breaking into the state prison!" I whisper-yell at him. He just smirks at me. "Calm down sweetheart. We'll only be a minute." He continues to pick the lock with a piece of broken bottle. It was only a matter of time before a cop saw and shot us both. "I'm going home," I stated. I turned on my heel and began to walk away. "Do that and I'll carve your name on a cell for all to see," He said calmly. I turned towards him, ready to smack him. "Why are you so determined for me to prove that I can be bad?" I demanded. I wanted to stomp my foot but I had a feeling he would only laugh. He looked up briefly to shoot me a playful grin. "Haven't you seen the movies? Who do you think always falls for the bad boy?" He asked. I scoffed. "Too bad this isn't a movie. Last time I checked this was reality." "Don't deny it, Princess. Sooner or later, you'll fall in love with me." When Olivia Fell moves to her new town, she expects the worst. With family issues and the death of a close family member still tearing at her mind, she isn't open to any new relationships. Then she meets Jay Brooks. He cocky, mean, and everything she hates. Jay has his own problems. He has a dangerous past and even more risky future. He knows he shouldn't get involved with the goody-two-shoes new girl, but he does anyway. One bet is all it takes to bring them together. ATTENTION: I'm putting this story on hold for a while. I haven't updated it in over two years, but I just can't find the motivation to continue. I'm having a somewhat permanent writer's block. If I ever do get around to finishing this, it will be severely edited, but it is more likely that I will delete the entire book sooner or later. If by some miracle you actually were interested in this story, then I sincerely apologize for not being able to continue it

It is Zero Dark Zombies! This is a ridiculous story about spies, terrorists, and zombies. Phil Cheng is a secret agent. Five years ago, Phil chose compassion over his mission and paid dearly for. He was captured and tortured by the terrorist group he was chasing. Now, a mentally and physically broken man, Phil has to return to undercover work to stop a biological attack on America, a zombie virus biological attack. Stuck undercover with the only terrorist who knows where the anti-virus is, Phil must travel with the terrorist group across a zombie infested America to save the country he loves. In another word, Phil, you are so F**KED. This is a story that is completely written from inside the head of Phil Cheng. He is not narrating the story for you. You are in it with him. This is a strange way to tell a tale, and I can't guarantee that it will work for you. But if you are willing to open your mind, I ensure you that you will experience something unique with this story.
