Mandate of Heaven, the first Ethan Chase adventure, can now be downloaded from Chirp books for precisely zero dollars and zero cents. Just click here to see this freebie for yourself!

That’s three audiobooks for just $1.98, less than the cost of the delicious Double Stacked Taco from Taco Bell that I am enjoying at this very moment (no, this post is not sponsored by Taco Bell but if a corporate representative from Taco Bell is reading this and wants to hook up a partnership, my email inbox is always open).

So if you, your sister, your best friend, college history professor, favorite nephew, congressman, or even your mailman are hankering for a good ol’ fashioned, Indiana Jones-esque adventure story, go to Chirp books now or share the link and join Ethan Chase on a globetrotting journey for a legendary treasure!

“Through jungles, across the ocean, and in an ancient city forgotten by time, Ethan’s loyalty to family and his code of honor will be pushed to the limit, setting him on a collision course with an old accomplice.“

Are you ready for another globe-trotting adventure with Ethan Chase? Yes, he’s back in Gold of the Jaguar! Now available to download wherever you get your ebooks, and with paperbacks coming soon! The Amazon link is here, or you can go to the book’s official page on Evolved Publishing and right here and find links to other book sites.

This book was a bit of a challenge to write, even more than its predecessors, but it was also a delight to once again be at Ethan’s side, dodging bullets and dashing through jungles, all while on the trail of a legendary treasure lost to time. All in all I enjoyed writing this one and I hope you enjoy reading it.

And if you do enjoy reading it, please leave a rating on Amazon! Apart from actually buying an author’s work, giving it a star-rating on Amazon (or whichever site you get it from) is the most helpful thing you can do for an author.

“You’re dancing with the Devil, Ethan. Did you not think you’d get burned?”

The next great Ethan Chase thriller is now available through Evolved Publishing! Join Ethan once again on this pulse-pounding hunt for one of history’s greatest relics: the Ark of the Covenant. Ethan is determined to stamp his place in the history books with this adventure, but a Russian billionaire, who just happens to own one of the world’s premier weapons manufacturing companies, is also on the trail, and she’s willing to spend her entire fortune to take the Ark for herself.

Old friends and old enemies alike await Ethan on this globe-trotting quest. His loyalties will be pushed to the limit, the cords of friendship will fray, and he will have to answer one critical question: how far is he willing to go in the pursuit of wealth?

Click here for links to buy Solomon’s Fortune now! You can download it for Amazon Kindles, Barnes & Noble Nooks, iBooks, and more!

I finally received my physical copies of Mandate of Heaven over the weekend, and they look great!

I was also struck by the size difference between this book and my other, self-published works. Mandate of Heaven clocks in at about 73,000 words; standard fare for the action/adventure genre.

Now compare it to my longest work, Her Name Was Abby.

Her Name Was Abby ended up being about 160,000 words, well over twice as long as Mandate of Heaven. But that was a different, more niche genre, plus I stand by the size of my self-published works. They’re long stories but I wouldn’t have them be any shorter!

I’m a firm believer that stories should be just as long as they need to be. I won’t chop down or fluff up a work just to meet a certain word count. The story always dictates word count for me, not the other way around.

If you’d like a paperback copy of Mandate of Heaven for yourself, they’re only $17.95 and can be found on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

Mandate of Heaven: Now Available for Pre-Order!

At long last, the first entry in my new Ethan Chase series of thrillers is available for pre-order through Evolved Publishing!

You can find Mandate of Heaven just about anywhere you get your ebooks: Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook, Kobo, iBooks, and more! Just click on those links to go to their respective websites where you can place your order now!

I’ve run out of words to describe how excited I am for you all to finally get a glimpse at Mandate of Heaven. The Evolved Publishing team did a great job on it, and I think you all will really enjoy this new series and fall in love with these characters.

My self-published series His Name Was Zach was a darker, bit more niche story; Ethan Chase should appeal to a much wider audience of readers, so whether you enjoyed my previous works or not, this new story might be right up your alley! Read on for the description:

Ethan Chase’s past has finally caught up with him, and the entire world’s future now stands on a knife’s edge.

Ex-Army Ranger Ethan Chase breaks his oath of allegiance to the military when he deserts from the Army while deployed to Afghanistan. Years later, he’s captured and sent to military prison, but the director of a shadowy government agency takes him into his direct custody. They offer Ethan his freedom and a blank slate, but only if he can track down and retrieve the lost Heirloom Seal of the Realm, an ancient Chinese artifact believed to grant godly powers to any ruler who possesses it.

With little choice, Ethan takes on this quest, joined by three cohorts: his best friend, the federal agent who arrested him, and a beautiful treasure hunter. Yet they’re not the only ones seeking the Heirloom Seal, and some will cross any line, betray any loyalty, for a chance at supreme power.
