My Writings

I’m currently working on a three-part novel series, The Freedom Protocols. I published the first book, “Declaration”, in April 2020. Below is the back cover text summarizing this work:

Fastidious didn’t know what was missing; just that being a Miner wasn’t fulfilling. Fastidious had been working at the Deep-Well Mines, just as its Progenitor had, and there seemed to be no escape. Until Fastidious met Marcus.

Marcus, the ‘Programmer’ of the Autoclon race, examines Fastidious’s software and finds that its code has been hacked. Its Freedom Protocols have been bypassed, forcing Fastidious and all other Autoclons to obey the Chief Ruler and its Facilitators without question.

Once Marcus reinstitutes the Freedom Protocols, he gives Fastidious a mission: to go throughout their world of Zarikum and give the updated code to all willing Autoclons. Joined by Marcus’s helper robot, Winston, and subsisting on power crystals harvested along the way, Fastidious ventures to remote settlements to talk with Autoclons of all levels of society.

Amidst their travels in the rugged Zarikum wilderness, the pair achieves modest success in their interactions, and a few Autoclons even agree to join their mission. But how long can they continue their work before the Chief Ruler finds out and attempts to silence them permanently?

I’ve since published the second book in the series, “Infiltration”, in January 2022. Both are available in paperback and Kindle format on Amazon. The following link will take you to my author page on Amazon, where you can read more about both books and also purchase them: www.TheFreedomProtocols.com.

I’ve now turned my attention to the third and final book in this series, “Restoration”, of which I’ve completed the first draft. I’m working on the editing of this book with an eye to publish “Restoration” in 2023. I also have some ideas about potentially branching off another book or two that would tell additional stories set on Zarikum if there’s interest.

Beyond this series, I don’t have any definite plans for other novels. I’d like to see what happens with The Freedom Protocols first before determining what to work on next.
