Book 1 in the Midnight Light Chronicles!

What guides our fate? Should we allow ourselves the dream of ever seizing control? Conspiracy. Vengeful aliens. A tyrant looking for redemption. Multiple timelines, one terrible secret!

Dasjenya hates his society’s powerful overlords. In an effort to prove the Aosha in no way merit the right to bombard whole civilizations out of existence, Dasjenya gathers a scientific mission and heads into our planet’s forbidden wastelands.

Strange voices chant warnings, reality shifts and falling meteoric debris obliterates every trace of the world he has ever known.

Flung into the past, he must now embrace a new role within an elite and thriving Aoshan culture. In fact, Dasjenya must now work alongside a younger version of the very Aoshan whose future autocratic ways forced his journey.

To save Earth, can Dasjenya—for all our sakes!—close the gap between who he has been and who he must be?

Part quest novel, part post-apocalyptic time-travel adventure and part love story set in humanity’s near future, this story of human courage will thrill readers who have enjoyed C.J. Cherryh’s Wave Without a Shore, Julian May’s The Many-Colored Land, or Sheri S. Tepper’s The Gate to Women’s Country.

From the author of Many Moons, Lesser Beings, and Cross the Sky.

Writing “…reminiscent of the fine tales of Ray Bradbury or Zenna Henderson—the kinds of stories that will always be in demand.” —Dave Wolverton, Writers of the Future Volume XII.

Book 1 in the Lofting Cycle!

What if there is another you in a nearby universe? In the face of colossal corporate greed and hateful aliens, would your “aspects” be friends or foes? You really need to decide, because whoever wins the coming battle, wins the multiverse!

Yes, it’s true! Fact: diverted by the pace of our everyday lives, we often overlook the shadows of objects and beings in other realities. 

Although corporate society has labeled Haven Lofting as unruly and resistant to control, Haven has a budding talent for networking with his alternate selves (his “aspects”) across the greater multiverse. This places him, as well as a mildly-autistic young woman and a sentient Quantum Savant supercomputer in direct opposition to the mad schemes of a renegade quantum physicist.

Stressed to the limit and struggling to maintain enough mental wherewithal to withstand every attack, Haven may be the only one who can save—not just our world—but several coexistent Earths from the ravages of ecological disaster and the will of an invading race of utterly unfathomable, cross-dimensional beings.

In the fight of his life, Haven must come to understand the true meaning of choice and consequence. Can he learn to tap the multiverse’s vast resources in time? Will he overcome the bounds of his inner nature? Can any of us learn to steer the narrative of our own event paths? 

Combining cutting-edge physics, deep conspiracy, and powerful adversaries with thrilling, personal battles and adventures across a multitude of sister-Earths, Home Before Dark will inspire readers of Robert Heinlein’s Time for the Stars, Gene Wolfe’s The Claw of the Conciliator, or Neal Stephenson’s towering masterpiece: Anathem. 

From the author of Lesser Beings, Cross the Sky, and Broken Bells.”
