Struggling with the loss of friends and loved ones, they must make some harsh decisions that will take them back into the fray among the living dead. Danger looms from every direction as each step they take brings them closer to destruction.
Wylie discovers that other survivors may be a bigger threat to their survival than the zombies. Finding their lives in jeopardy, they must decide if they will find a new place away from the others or if they are willing to go to war with a group known only as the Freemen. In the darkest hour of the Zombie Apocalypse, there is a storm coming.

Ragnarok Rising: The Crossing
Book Three of the Ragnarok Rising Saga
You will learn to fear the dark.
After surviving the Freemen, Wylie and the others discover that the damage they took during the fight might have been far more extensive than they knew. With structural problems looming and the lack of arable land, they reach a dreaded decision. They must abandon the Underground.
Looking for a place that is not only defensible but provides the opportunity for long-term survival, they must set out on a dangerous journey to scout a new location. Strange new dangers await them, as they find what they thought was the perfect location. A terrifying new type of zombie stalks the valley where they want to make their home. A zombie that owns the night.
The journey to make their new home safe will take them to the distant shores of Lake of the Ozarks and through the zombie infested streets of Lebanon, Missouri. Wylie soon learns that people he thought were enemies can become friends…and friends can become enemies. A lesson that will cost them dearly.
Uncovering the origin of the new undead will take them back to the lake and to a shocking conclusion. Lives will change forever as they must accomplish the impossible in order to secure their new home. The realization that not all of them will survive to see their new community grow will take its toll on them. The safety of their new home will be purchased with blood.

The Lost Legion: Perdition’s Flames
Book One of Tales from the Infinite Black
In the early days of space exploration, the Corporations controlled everything. Finding it easier just to take the resources they wanted from planets that were unable to resist them, they created the first of the Harvester Fleets. These fleets would find, conquer and strip planets of their resources. No one could challenge the might of the corporate fleets and nothing could stand in their way.
Harvester Fleet Septimus Decius was sent to a rich target, ripe for the harvest. They never suspected that everything was about to change when they reached Haakon Prime. Ambushed by the enigmatic race known as the Wyrd, Harvester Fleet Septimus Decius fought a desperate battle to survive. But even the Wyrd weren't ready for what happened next. Everything would change in one fatal instant.
Two hundred years later, two radically different crews on two very different ships would discover that their fates were intertwined with the Lost Fleet. Destiny would bring them both to Haakon Prime, but it will be the choices that they make that will define them all. Will they be the saviors or the damned?
Will they join the Lost Fleet?
