"A fantastic read with a great premise, edge-of-your-seat story, and the kind of world-building that seems effortless (and is anything but). The thing about The Time Traveler's Final Mission is that you will REMEMBER this shit..." —Jeremy Bernstein, Writer, Leverage and The Librarians.

My second blurb comes from a brilliant creator and writer, Jeremy Bernstein. The story writing of his episodes of Leverage and the Librarians are absolutely among the best of the series. So to have him provide a blurb as excellent as this makes my inner author SQUEEEEEE.

This Southern Reach coffee table book is one of the greatest projects I have ever worked on. The mix of image and text is so energizing. Being able to write it, acquire or commission images, and provide the rough outlines of an innovative design to the publisher is such a blessing.

From my novel Abdication, out in October of next year...

Cormorant can trace the bifurcation of the Old World and the New World to the moment when, from between the bars of his cell, he watched Jackie and Jack Severance die by firing squad amid the chaos of PAX and purges at Central. The courtyard stones leaked blood, which looked brighter than could be real. But he’d seen it himself, Jack so ancient he had become a little man with a curved back and a cane, Jackie somehow larger than human, snarling against the wall, dressed in a business blazer, professional slacks and sensible high heels. He doubted she had chosen it, that the prison guards had given her something they thought retained some dignity. But what dignity was there in bullets exploding your face, splashing the stones with your blood and brains?
He could not see Jack’s expression, but Jackie held her head high until the moment the bullets took her, just below the nose and high in the hairline. Cormorant had meant to look away, but the Major had tricked the count as some sort of rough mercy. The moment before felt like a historic photograph, reduced to black-and-white, but there was no history now, no history books.
Jack’s curling form, bowed and jolted into the dirt had a natural trajectory, from how he’d hardly been able to stand, the way he wept there on the ground with half his head missing and the blood gushing from his chest. He was still talking to himself as his systems shut down and his eyes never closed. Jackie had buckled, still stood somehow, stared confusedly upward at the sear of blue sky and sagged, toppled onto Jack, dead already.
Then they’d be dragged to the side and tossed on the pile, to make room for the next group of traitors.
