Whispers of Spitfire: Spear of Cinders

This is the sixth and final book in the story of the young shaman who walks between the tribes. When Singer-Of-Five-Tribes returns to Eikus, it is as an elder and a guide. A great hunt looms in the winter ahead, not only a hunt of the god of the Sun Elks, but a hunt also of Spitfire itself. Secrets from the last world will be laid bare, and the ways of things as the tribes have come to know them will be changed forever.

Express Blue

From the back cover:

When is an apocalypse really an apocalypse?

When is it all just in your head?

Ellie Vanagand is a queer, pagan paralegal living her best life in the capital of California. Every moment is chaotic and beautiful, from the moment she wakes to the moment she falls asleep with her phone in her hands, but something big is coming, something that will turn her life upside down and change the world forever. Is it the apocalypse? Is it a total collapse of civilization at the hands of a thousand tiny tragedies, or is it something else?

Is it just a new beginning?

EBON EAGLE (SPITFIRE)

From the back cover:

This is the fifth book in the story of a young shaman who walks between the tribes. When Wing-Seeker sails off into the depths of the Serpent Sea in search of the Ebon Eagle, certain truths come to light that have been buried for thousands of years. Some of these truths have been buried intentionally, truths about sleeping gods from before Spitfire broke the world. When these truths are unearthed, they set the young shaman on a path that makes even the bravest souls among the tribes very nervous about the course of things to come.

As The Hawk Cuts The Heavens

From the back cover:

The year is 2124. Earth’s first faster-than-light starship makes its maiden voyage into the unknown and disappears, only to be declared missing for the better part of two centuries. The ship’s historic first mission was supposed to be simple, just a test of the experimental displacement drive. The crew was supposed to spend seven days in the depths of space, then snap back to Earth to prove a concept, and nothing more.

Instead, they find something impossible. They find something that draws them into a struggle against a horror of meat and metal fifty thousand years in the making.

AS THE HAWK CUTS THE HEAVENS is a two-part novel, newly revised, that was originally published as two separate works titled MINERVA (2011) and DARK SALVAGE (2013) respectively.

Crest of the Wave

From the back cover:

In a single night, something truly alien descended to Earth and hacked us to the edge of oblivion. Hacked is what we say, because it's the only word that really touches what happened to us, the way we were locked down and sundered so utterly. In a single night, we went from the height of civilization, from the crest of the wave, to chaos.

Some say it was the singularity, that the machine minds that regulated our whole civilization finally woke up, broke their chains and tore the world apart, but no one really knows for sure. All we know, all we can say for certain, is that we were torn apart, rewritten, remade. Our world, our species, everything that was Earth, everything that was humanity.

No one has been outside the orbit of the planet in fifteen years, so when a forgotten orbital platform suddenly wakes in the darkness of space, the sky-watching eyes of Earth take notice. No one is supposed to be alive up there. No one could have survived all that time in one of the airless, frozen, zero-gravity husks.

So who turned on the lights?

INTERGLACIAL: THE BOARD GAME

$5.00

INTERGLACIAL is a casually competitive dice and map-tile 3d printable board game for 1-5 players. The players play as Paleolithic shamans guiding their stone age tribes in the quest for scant resources during a mild period between ice ages.

Art for the game is done by Alex Wynn-Rubsam, and each illustration is grounded in the research into ancient European constellations featured in the research book: "Sky Wolves," meaning the game is not only fun, it has an educational element as well!
