A story in the The Pulseverse Chronicles- Eternal Awakening Universe
Before the first stars learned to burn, the Pulse was born, a living rhythm of creation that binds gods, universes, and mortal thought. In the world of Zena, a single clash reawakens that long-forgotten force. The impact fractures the laws of reality, its echo rippling through distant realms, stirring watchers, worlds, and ancient minds that have slept since the dawn of existence. Now, as the Pulse stirs once more, time bends, empires tremble, and the Void turns its gaze toward creation itself.

While clearing out his late mother’s attic, a retired medical researcher discovers a surgical chest once owned by his ancestor—a respected nineteenth-century surgeon known for his skill and discipline. But the chest tells another story. Inside are clues—subtle, then unmistakable—that suggest the man wasn’t just a healer. He may have been something far more sinister. It was a secret the family buried over a century ago. Until now.

This is a domestic terrorist, Tom Clancy or Robert Patterson-style story. I started writing this story in July 2001, and I stopped on 9/11, and it's been languishing in my Zombie file ever since. I don't know if I'll ever get back to it. but I wanted to share it with you,

The good die young but sometimes they come back.

A Nexus Story
This is the introduction piece for a series to come called Nexus Interludes. It will be a series of short stories that occur shortly after Nexus Evolution but are meant to be stand-alone. The stories can be read in any order. Of course, reading the entire Nexus series first would give you a fuller frame of reference. I intend these to be fun and a little more spicy than I usually write, but I also want to add detail to the Nexus Universe. Stand by for more!

A Bullet Story
It was a Dark and Stormy Night. A loud clap of thunder masked the rumble from the rifle that sent the Bullet my way. It parted not only my skull but also me from my life. It was then I found out that there is a way to get even and along the way, make a few new friends. It's comforting to realize there is something after. / (Reviews)
