GANYMEDE:
BOOK ONE OF THE MANY MOONS SAGA
Harprin Diehl should be excited. She lives in the lap of luxury.
As a member of the ruling Bacileus class, she wants for nothing and has her every desire met. Throw in the fact that her uncle is the Senior Cardinal of the High Counsel, and she becomes the envy of every girl of the Jovian Moons.
Her LifeChoice fast approaches, when Harprin must decide between marrying the man Uncle has chosen for her, becoming a member of the mysterious and rigidly religious Conventuals of the Priory, or rejecting her Bacileus upbringing altogether and accepting a place among the lower classes.
On top of all that, a civil war wages as ruthless terrorists known as Telepenths -- members of a secret society with horrifying powers -- fight to tear down the power structure and rebuild the Moons in their own image.
But through it all, Harprin can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched... that Uncle isn’t telling her everything about her past... and that she was meant for far more than this.

THE REACHING
For homocide detective Jesse Teak, it was supposed to be a routine open and shut case. A simple murder-suicide. He can close it the moment the autopsy report comes back.
But this is no ordinary case. The murderer and suicide victim is none other than his career mentor, former partner, and long-time friend. And nothing about it looks routine.
As he delves deeper into the murder case his friend had been trying to solve, Jesse finds himself falling down a rabbit hole where nothing seems to make sense. And the deeper he falls, the more the mistakes of his past come back to haunt him.
Part police prodedural, part horror masterpiece, The Reaching will keep you guessing while it also keeps you up at night.
