CHiTs
Shadows of Peace Novella
Every legend starts with a single test.
​
At seventeen, Taylor enters the elite Intergal Special Forces Academy prepared to survive. Alone. But the Academy doesn’t want solo troopers it demands teams. Thrown together with three strangers, Taylor must learn to lead, follow, and trust or lose his only shot at becoming SF.

TRIAL BY INFERNO
SHADOWS OF PEACE BOOK ONE
Survival is only the beginning.
​
A covert mission. A devastating ambush. A battle they were never meant to win.
​
When rookie operative Mark Taylor and his team crash-land on Tinaree, the latest battleground in a brutal galactic war, survival becomes a harrowing test of endurance. Captured by enemy forces and sold to a mine as slave labor, they are thrust into a world of torment, shifting alliances, and buried secrets.
​
As Taylor suffers ruthless torture, his team moves in the shadows, gathering intel and planning their escape. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes their survival wasn’t a coincidence. Someone orchestrated their capture, and the truth behind it isn’t just about the war. It’s about Taylor himself.
​
With trust fraying and the enemy always one step ahead, Taylor must decide how far he’s willing to go, not just to survive, but to uncover a conspiracy where the enemy knows more about his past than he does one that could tip the balance of the war itself. Because on Tinaree, escaping is only the beginning and survival may have been part of the plan all along.
​
Survival was never the goal.

SHADOWS OF PEACE BOOK TWO
In the shadows of war, survival comes at a cost and loyalty can be lethal.
​
The Intergal Fleet’s first attempt to liberate Tinaree was shattered by a devastating ambush that decimated its Special Forces and left Taylor’s team presumed dead. Now, after clawing their way back from captivity scarred, silent, and haunted by their ordeal they return to a battle-hardened fleet that feels more like enemy territory than home.
​
Commander Richards knows the patterns of missions warped by hidden agendas. As he digs deeper, a buried conspiracy comes to light one that reveals the war for Tinaree is only the surface, and the real enemy may be embedded within Intergal’s own command.
​
As Taylor and his team fight to recover and reclaim their place, new bonds are forged, old scars reopen, and the true battle begins not just for Tinaree’s freedom, but for their survival in a fleet where trust is as dangerous as the enemy outside.

COFFEE CAPERS
The invigorating beverage we all know and love wasn’t an easy thing to get at first, growing far away from the people who wanted it. Finally, there were breakthroughs and now it is grown all over the world, every region producing different coffees that brought new flavors to the table. It was an exciting moment in the progress of civilization, celebrated by kings and presidents. Everyone wanted coffee! Problem was, there was still more ground to be gained, and adventurers the galaxy over were in search of it. Some of the stories herein talk about the level of fanaticism, er, commitment there is to finding a better bean.
Today, you get to kick back, choose to ice it down, hot it up, add cream, sweetener, kafe hawaij if you like that spiciness in your life, and then lean back and enjoy reading this book while you savor your coffee. I think you’ll find this one quirky, with hints of the surreal, and an afternote of thoughtful satisfaction when you’ve finished each story.

POGUE ONE
The purpose of this anthology is not to denigrate pogues. On the contrary, we felt their representation in fiction (military SF or otherwise) a bit lacking. What about the kid with the thirty-pound brain locked away in the vault, like in Gene Rowley's tale of a lance corporal in the Cyber Corps? The medical ninjas who're willing to move heaven and earth to save one more life feature prominently in K. Anders's story. Chris DiNote shows us there are worse things lurking within the depths of the military machine than mere pogues. In "The Troll," Jim Curtis reminds us that the hardest working folks in the military just may be the apes whose job is to keep aircraft in the sky. Wrapping up our ensemble of storytelling is Liska McCabe, who reminds us that no matter the MOS, we all endure check-out in the end.

"Excellent stories that rang true for me. Military life when your not a grunt. My favorite was BITS AND PARTS by M. Plummer. "
-AMAZON REVIEW
I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories in Pogue One! My favorites were “To the Letter”, “Guard Guys”, “Bits and Parts” and “Chow Hall”. These stories were gripping and exciting taking a different perspective on the military genre focusing on People other than Grunts (POGs).
