I surveyed my VIP Readers’ Club back in 2015/16 and asked what other genre or sub-genre they’d like to see me write. Overwhelmingly the response was epic fantasy. In 2018, I published the first of my epic fantasy adventure series, the Fabled Quest Chronicles with the first novel, Through Titan’s Trail. It’s 2020 and we’re coming to the end of …
For those of you who don’t know the story, even though I have been a long-time fan of The Lord of the Rings, I hadn’t intended on writing an epic fantasy series. But I surveyed my VIP Readers’ Club and they loudly told me “Yes! Write it.” As, with any genre I tackle I had to put my own unique …
So how did our famous sci-fi detective meet his wife Dot a.k.a. China Doll? I teased it in the last Liquid Cool novel (Book 9), Write Me a Murder on Jules Verne’s Island. Your guesses were great: She was in the passenger seat during a race against Cruz. He won the race and stole her away from his rival. She …
In the last blog post, we asked: How did Cruz (our famous detective) and Dot (aka China Doll) ever meet to begin with? Your guesses were great! Definitely Liquid Cool fans here. She was in the passenger seat during a race against Cruz. He won the race and stole her away from his rival. She was at an illegal hovercraft …
Red Rabbit, Blade Gunner, NeuroDancer, the Ripper, Ichi Jumper, Venn Diagram, Classic Cyborg, the Electric Lady, Mr. Viper, Mr. T., and the list goes on.

They’re Done! — Three more upcoming novels to add to the Liquid Cool universe. Biopunk Blues (Liquid Cool, Book 7) Biopunks, bio-pirates, and bio-terrorists are on the loose in this case! Can Cruz solve the case before becoming a biological victim himself? The Moon Is A Good Place to Die (Liquid Cool, Book 8) Cruz has been framed for murder …
I’m Cruz. Whatcha Want? In 2015, when I introduced readers to the rainy, Blade Runner-ish world of Liquid Cool it was the tonal reverse of my first sci-fi series, After Eden. Both series are dystopian sci-fi but where After Eden was the events and people leading to WW III 75 years in the future (very somber and certainly not funny), …
Then Build a Team That Rocks! For more than six months, I’ve been immersed in my new epic fantasy series, the Fabled Quest Chronicles. I call it “Lord of the Rings meets King Solomon’s Mines.” From Avalonia, one of the Seven Empire regions of the Lands of Man on Pan-Earth, begins the most fantastic and dangerous journey beyond imagination, both mortal …
As my readers know, I write the stories that would captivate me. So, I finished Book One of my Fabled Quest Chronicles: Through Titan’s Trail and I said, “Don’t stop the story yet! What happens next?” If that was my reaction, I knew it would be yours. The book’s initial reviews also reflect that. REVIEWS Fantastic Start to a Fun …
Introduction Once upon a time… The known world of Pan-Earth, or the Lands of Man, was divided into the major continental regions of Larentia, Gondwana, Oceania, Laurasia, Baltica, Avalonia, and the uninhabited Borea. Of all the Seven Empires, however, it was only Avalonia, at its northernmost tip, that possessed the sole legendary gateway to the realm of the Magical Lands. …
