Now in trade paper and for all eReaders at Amazon and Smashwords! An old man dies in a very public and very strange suicide-or was it murder? Jeff Cramer has to figure out which, and quickly. Nothing about this case appears normal, and it could get very dangerous, very quickly. This novelette rose to #4 in Science Fiction on Wattpad in 2014. Now on sale in trade paperback and for all eReaders at Amazon, Smashwords, iTunes, Kobo, etc. My novel The First Jumper, which is on Wattpad as first draft, will be out on Amazon and other venues about the beginning of April, 2015. It is a prequel to this story--but read this story first. If you enjoy this, you may find that story enjoyable as well. Feedback is welcome. If you like what you read, please click the star! And of course, an online review would be the ultimate encouragement. Thanks! Brian Groover

This song is for every woman or girl who ever looked in the mirror, and questioned her worth because of how she looked. This may be the most important thing I've written in my life.

Gerleesh saw her home planet die. Last of her people, old and sick, she comes to an ice-age Earth, where she meets Little Bear, a primitive human only to be struck down without warning. For Gerleesh as well as for Little Bear, it is both the end of all things and only the beginning. This is the full, published version, for sale on Amazon and elsewhere, not the first draft! As promised, the first draft of this book will continue to be available on Wattpad, for those who read the NaNoWriMo Journal, and want to see how that struggle came about.

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!
