West of Nowhere
Jake’s no hero — but he’s got great taste in women who are.
The country has gone dark. Texas has broken away. But the war is only a distraction. As power players stake their claims, something older and far stranger is moving beneath the surface — something no one could prepare for. Lovers Jake and Lys are caught in the subterfuge. As cities and scoundrels topple, Jake barrels west, chasing answers into a world where past and future collide — and where the real war hasn’t even begun.
The first book in an epic modern western — a dystopian and post-apocalyptic saga, West of Nowhere begins where civilization ends. While the science-fiction undertones pulse just beneath the surface, they ignite as the series unfolds.
For readers of Stephen King (The Dark Tower), Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men/The Road), and for fans of The Last of Us. This story fuses post-collapse realism with slow-burning, otherworldly mystery — where love and vengeance walk the same road.

The Westerners
In the West, even silence has a cost.
In the shadow of the Davis Mountains, fifteen-year-old Emory Cade’s quiet life is shattered when her brother vanishes as the Texas National Army is taking over the town. What begins as a desperate search for family leads Emory into a world of secrets buried beneath the desert stone — where soldiers guard a strange machine and rumors of something called Aether run like wildfire.
Drawn in by a woman who seems to know more than she says, Emory discovers that her bond with her brother is only the beginning of what ties her to the struggle. As reality begins to blur and the lines between truth and illusion bend, Emory must decide who she can trust — and how much of herself she’s willing to risk.
The Westerners is a story of family, survival, and the spark of rebellion in a land where silence is dangerous, and even the stars seem to hold their breath.

The Daisy Chain – Revised & Expanded
A great country for men and dogs, but hell on women and horses. — Old Texas Proverb
In the 1890s Texas Hill Country, the town of Medea is ruled by scoundrels and bound by secrets. At its center stands Dannah Marshall — fierce, unyielding, determined to protect her family’s ranch even as everything around her begins to collapse.
Henry Edwards, a ruthless businessman, fights to hold his own family together while tightening his grip on Medea. Dannah’s defiance makes her his perfect target. But when her struggle draws in Cole Edwards — Henry’s eldest son and her childhood friend — their long-standing bond sparks both tenderness and betrayal, setting fire to a chain of events no one can contain.
The Daisy Chain is a powerful tale of land, legacy, and the cost of survival. Revised and expanded, this edition deepens relationships, sharpens conflicts, and delivers a haunting resolution that lingers long after the last page.
Perfect for readers of Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove), Thomas Savage (The Power of the Dog), Philipp Meyer (The Son), and fans of Taylor Sheridan (1883) — those who crave Western historical fiction steeped in atmosphere, grit, and unforgettable characters.
