A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***

The life of a thief isn't for the faint of heart. Jade Briar has become accustomed to this way of life; always on the run, always hiding. She has gotten used to seeing her bounty on city walls and hearing her name cursed by angry voices in the dead of night. Everything was fine... Until she got caught. After five years of thievery, Jade expects to be killed. Instead, the King gives her a tempting offer: her help, for her freedom. All she must do is complete a seemingly simple mission in the city built on revenge. Failure, will mean execution. But things get a lot more complicated when a ghost from her past shows up. *QUILL AWARDS 2017 WINNER- Fantasy* *SHADOW AWARDS WINNER - Fantasy* *Fox Awards 2017 WINNER - Fantasy* *Raven Awards HONORABLE MENTION - Fantasy* Cover by me (Please note that I am not currently updating this book.

Elgin is your average city filled with people, trains, fog, victorian era fashion, goat people, and the best alchemy shop one can find. Nothing too bizarre, aside from the children. Children appear in the forest regularly with marks on their bodies, unsure of how or why they're there. One day, a letter gets delivered to one of the children and curiosity gets the better of them. It suddenly becomes a mad dash on figuring out on what exactly Elgin is and how they can go back home. Cover by @Azanthiel Featured on: @Horror "Hell's Bells"
