Catalyst

Science Fiction & Fantasy

Sometimes the wrong choice is the only one that makes sense. Lucifer and the Fallen are in open rebellion against the Maker of the Universe. The Maker and most of his angels are fighting back with all the power of the cosmos. The Rephaim, angels who view all angels as their siblings, have abstained from the fight. Stuck between love and loyalty, Fomor and his six celestial companions have no good options. In desperation they escape to Earth, only to find that the war has followed them, and the Fallen are bent on destroying every human in their path. But even the best choices have consequences... When a child is taken for sacrifice, the angels fight to save him, but they may have chosen too late. In this epic battle between good and evil, the players are not always what they seem, and the stakes are higher than even Fomor and his companions can imagine. This prequel to the Outcast Angels series begins at the beginning - setting the stage for an epic battle that good may not be able to win.

They say that angels are always obedient. But is that really true? In Genesis we read that a number of angels came down and got together with humans. They even produced children - those "mighty men of old." And then there is the whole business of Lucifer's rebellion. A full third of the Heavenly host is reported to have sided with him. What if some angels didn't want to take sides? What if they tried to abstain?

Descent

After decades of wandering, they find a new home, and a new purpose in protecting the humans they have come to love. But evil cannot be avoided, it must be destroyed… When demonic forces bring Heaven’s war to Earth, threatening to enslave humankind and create supernatural soldiers with blood sacrifices, honor and love demand that the Rephaim fight back. But the battle will cost them more than they know, and one of their own will pay an ultimate price. As the fate of the Earth and her inhabitants hangs in the balance, Fomor and his companions must win the fight for their new lives or watch as the world is annihilated. Poised on cliff-edge of fantasy and history, this epic adventure does not disappoint.

Super hero - Super fight

Fight scenes are one of my favorite things to write. I do my best to present it blow by blow, so the reader gets that "movie in your head" feeling. But I also like to include things that are culturally relevant - conversations that happen in real life, between real people. The whole idea is to bring the reader into this fictional world, and have them enjoy their stay.
