The Adventure Continues!

My third novel, and sequel to the award-winning Steelwing, is now officially released (Apr 1, 2025)! Check out Steelwing: Friend or Foe at a book signing near you, or order from my store for signed copies, or Amazon if that’s your thing (my eBooks are exclusive to Kindle and are available on Kindle Unlimited).

Friend or Foe follows the continuing immersive, in-the-video-game adventures of 13-year-old Cammie Fields, who lives in my alma mater town of Northfield, MN. For this story, we set Cammie up against a brand new school nemesis in Anastasia Nelson, the new girl at school who’s instantly popular with her hair highlights and put-together wardrobe.

Once again, Cammie is transported into Illiavar, the video game world of Steelwing, to solve a new mystery, only this time she’ll have to do it with (and despite) Anastasia being along for the ride. The story teaches Cammie some empathy and is super-fun for young readers and video game fans of any age, and a great sequel to the original tale. It also sets up the next book in the Steelwing series, hopefully arriving before the end of 2025.

Many thanks to everyone for your support – I’ve already had several dozen copies ship to stores in the US and UK, and that was before the release day even hit. Very proud my imagination has found a way onto your bookshelves. Make some room, there’s plenty more in store!! M

Gone Viral

Hi everyone. I’ve not vanished off the face of the Earth, but I have contracted a rather stubborn non-COVID respiratory infection that has had me sidelined for over two weeks now. I am slowly improving and hope to have some new stuff for you soon, including my reaction from an Evening with Neil Gaiman here in Dallas as well as lessons learned from a recent writing conference. Stay tuned!
