Red Powder Mountain Now Available Here
It has been 1,036 days since alien invaders poisoned Earth's atmosphere with a choking red powder.
Cities have fallen. Governments have collapsed. The Pacific Northwest is a shattered war zone of ash, toxic air, and alien creatures that hunt in packs.
The remnants of humanity survive underground, organized into resistance cells, survival camps, and uneasy alliances.
Twenty-year-old NRC Corporal Tock Mattock has one mission: find his sister and cousin, taken by the enemy. But when a stolen alien weapon grafts itself to his arm, it begins rewriting his biology. The invaders want it back. Their deadliest creatures are coming for him. And the weapon is changing Tock into something no one can explain.
Moving through the same broken landscape is Whisper, a gritty former soldier leading his squad through hostile territory while searching for his own captured daughter. When their paths converge, they are pulled into a desperate fight that stretches from the ruins of Portland to the deck of an alien warship.
Red Powder Mountain is a post-apocalyptic military science fiction thriller set in the Pacific Northwest. It is the first book in the Red Powder Earth series.
The weapon chose him. It didn't ask permission.
And the clock is running.
Beta Reader (early) comments:

“The pace has been impressively relentless. Two chapters in and I’m digging it. I wasn’t expecting it to be so instantly alien.” - Justin S (Beta Reader)

Follow The Colors
Nine-year-old Lissa McClintock has a rare gift: she sees glimpses of the future through vivid colors that reveal children in danger. Guided by these visions, and the animals that mysteriously aid her, Lissa and her father, Greggo, embark on perilous missions to rescue these children before it’s too late.
Unknown to most, Lissa is descended from an ancient society sworn to protect children, a legacy that stretches back to the age of Da Vinci.
But powerful enemies threaten to destroy them, none more dangerous than Billy Bret and his ruthless crew. Bent on silencing Lissa and Greggo, Billy’s actions jeopardize not only their lives but also those of countless children.
When Harper, a fierce young woman seeking revenge for her abducted sister, collides with Lissa’s path, alliances are tested, and secrets unravel.
But as tensions mount, it’s the wild creatures that hold the ultimate power to change everyone’s fate—if Lissa can interpret their colors in time.
