  • Wrath of Magi

    Wrath of Magi

    A Nikola Tesla Story

    Nikola Tesla has spent a lifetime unlocking secrets that could change the world.

    Someone else intends to steal them.

    When a series of impossible thefts strikes ever closer to Tesla’s most closely guarded work, suspicion falls on a ruthless industrial magnate known only as the Robber Baron—a man whose wealth buys influence, loyalty, and silence. But behind the Baron lurks an even greater threat: a shadowy figure who moves unseen through boardrooms, laboratories, and the corridors of power, leaving betrayal and ruin in his wake.

    As spies, saboteurs, and hired agents close in, Tesla finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of deception stretching from glittering mansions to hidden workshops and secret vaults. Every stolen page brings his enemies one step closer to powers they cannot be trusted to wield.

    But there are limits to Tesla’s patience.

    And when those limits are finally crossed, the men hunting his secrets discover that the world’s greatest inventor is far more dangerous than anything he has ever created.

    In a battle of wits, wealth, and hidden power, Nikola Tesla must prove that some secrets are worth defending at any cost.

  • Martian Phoenix

    Martian Phoenix

    The Fire That Tests Gold

    Beulah Gresham crossed millions of miles believing she understood love.

    Mars has other ideas.

    When the merchant aethership Phoenix arrives at the ancient city of Seven Canals, its mission seems straightforward: secure the liftwood and grav panels needed to keep Earth’s expansion into the heavens alive. Instead, the crew finds itself drawn into a world unlike any they imagined—a world of powerful noblewomen, deadly political rivalries, hidden agendas, and courtly rituals where a single mistake can cost more than money.

    For Beulah, the greatest challenge is not trade, intrigue, or even danger. It is the realization that everything she thought she knew about society, romance, and herself may be wrong.

    As powerful factions maneuver to control Phoenix and its priceless cargo of power crystals, Beulah must decide whether she will cling to comforting illusions—or allow the fires of Mars to forge her into something stronger.

    Set in the acclaimed Greshamverse, Martian Phoenix is a tale of adventure, political intrigue, romance, and personal transformation amid the glittering canals and ancient courts of a dying world.

    Sometimes gold is not tested until it enters the fire.

  • Mirim’s First Christmas

    Mirim’s First Christmas

    The Selenite First Family Celebrates a Galveston Gilded Age Christmas With Victorian English and Serbian Orthodox Flourishes

    She has survived revolution, war, and a tyrant sustained by dark power.
    Nothing, however, has prepared her for Christmas.

    On Earth, in the winter of 1891, Mirim of Selene steps into a world unlike any she has ever known—a world of pine boughs and glowing lights, unfamiliar customs, and traditions layered with history, faith, and family. As the Selenite First Family gathers with their Earth allies in a grand Galveston mansion, Mirim experiences her first Christmas not as a conqueror or diplomat, but as a wife, a mother, and a woman discovering the soul of another world.

    What begins as a single holiday celebration becomes a tapestry of cultures: Victorian English elegance, Serbian Orthodox ritual, Mexican warmth, and lunar sensibilities woven together in shared meals, songs, and stories. Amid laughter, faith, and quiet reflection, bonds deepen, futures shift, and a simple tradition reveals the power of family to bridge worlds.

    Rich in historical detail, infused with gentle humor, and grounded in faith and fellowship,Mirim’s First Christmas is a quiet, luminous interlude in the Selene Reborn universe—a reminder that even in the shadow of war, hope is kindled around the table, beneath the lights, and in the love we choose to share.
