A gunslinger on the run. A distant mining outpost. And the ruthless boss who rules it.

I came into Jackson Depot on one engine, scraping the Bucket along the sand before managing to get her to stop. Not great, but not quite a crash.

I chalked it up as a successful landing.

Jake – The Warded Gunslinger – doesn’t want much in life. A place to hide, a good meal, and a quiet time with his pet void dragon hatchling. The small mining colony of Jackson Depot seems to promise just that.

But when Jake’s short-lived peace is shattered by a gangster boss and his army, and the hatchling is stolen, it’s time for Jake to pick up his guns!

The Warded Gunslinger is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warpstone ships roam the galaxy, and courage sets heroes apart from villains. It’s got cowboys and gangsters, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera.

The Warded Gunslinger is the first standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.

The Warded Gunslinger: A Space Western Novella

A pirate corvette. A spaceship graveyard. And the Warded Gunslinger, out for blood!

I put down the drill, running my fingertip over the ward engraved in the thick slab of spaceship armor plate, feeling for any uneven parts.

I take my work seriously. It’s what keeps me alive. 

Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – has a broken ship, an extremely valuable pet void dragon hatchling sleeping in his cabin, and the hope of running away to live quietly with them both. 

But with an unidentified, heavily armed corvette on his trail, a new one heading to cut him off, and an engine that explodes mid-flight, it looks like “live quietly” means “go hide.”

Problem is, there’s not much to hide behind in space…

A Graveyard in the Sky is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warp-stone ships roam the galaxy, and sometimes, the only thing to hide behind is the corpse of your enemy. It’s got cowboys and privateers, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera.

A Graveyard in the Sky is the second standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.

A Graveyard in the Sky: A Space Western Novella

Sometimes, your safe haven turns into your worst nightmare…

You can’t spend eternity among the stars. Sometimes, you need to dock to trade, refuel, refit. Sometimes, all you want is a bowl of good chili, a cold brew, and something to stare at except your ship’s steel bulkheads. 

Sometimes, that’s what you get. And sometimes, what you get is war.

Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – needs a rest, and his ship needs repairs, discretely. What better place to head for than a trade hub where no one’s heard of him?

But when the trade station erupts into civil war turning into genocide, the Warded Gunslinger can’t stand idly by…

Last Stand at Rimont is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warp-stone ships roam the galaxy, and spaceports are full of scum, villainy, and people you really have no business saving. It’s got cowboys and crooked politicians, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera.

Last Stand at Rimont is the third standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.

Last Stand at Rimont: A Space Western Novella

The gunslinger on a mission of mercy. The friend willing to help him. And the noble who'd set them against each other.

“No,” I told Riina. “Out of the question. I will absolutely not do it.”

“You will,” she said, so softly that I had to lean in to hear. Nothing soft in her voice, though. It was like tungsten gravel laced with pure fluorine. “Not because I say so, not because you would do it anyhow if you just thought about it, but because if you don’t, everyone on board the Belithain will starve, and then they will freeze, and then they will suffocate. Think about that.”

Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – doesn’t enjoy mingling with the rich kids. Not his style, not his battlefield.

But when going begging from one of the Galaxy’s most notoriously thin-skinned group of nobles, he’d better shut up, dress up, and put up. Either that, or figure out how to gun down an entire planet.

A Duel Among Friends is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warp-stone ships roam the galaxy, and too much money means slights of honor are settled with cold, hard steel. It’s got cowboys and touchy, gun-totting nobles, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera.

A Duel Among Friends is the fourth standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.
