Spacewestern Stories

Out in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, there's a place where maps end and bad decisions begin. They call it The Fracture. Silas Vane makes a living chasing both. A charming drifter with a dangerous reputation, Silas thrives on chaos, credits, and just enough trouble to stay alive. But when his crew intercepts a distorted signal whispering about a forgotten Gate, something buried in the dark begins to stir. The message is broken. The coordinates shouldn't exist. And whatever is calling out... knows his name. Now hunted by forces he doesn't understand and haunted by a past he never escaped, Silas is pulled into a mystery that could reshape the entire frontier. Because some doors were never meant to open. And Silas Vane may be the only one reckless enough to try.

In Old Lessons, Hard Futures a guardian soldier, an indolent boy-pirate, an old warhorse, and a wayward hotshot find themselves caught in a tangle of plots set to unbalance the already teetering scales of power within the galaxy. --- --- Final chapter published: 05MAY2023. --- --- Cover Art and Headers created using Canva.
