Intergalactic Secret Service Agent Maximus Anderson is a trouble magnet. Oh, he's fine, but every single one of his former partners is either dead, disabled, or permanently stinks of Krylian boar spray.

Fresh-out-of-the-Academy Agent Miranda Smith thinks she's hot stuff, but she's already lost her first partner and is headed toward trouble magnet territory herself.

Now, in hopes the two nuisances will kill each other off, the ISS has paired Max and Miranda up to investigate possible alien activity in a galactic backwater called Minnesota. Something seems to be lunching on the locals, and that something may have hot-wired a military spaceship with enough firepower to level a city.

The closer Max and Miranda get to solving the mystery, the harder it becomes to resist their pesky romantic attraction—and stay off the menu themselves. Max will tell you, it's tough to crack a case with a giant alien chewing on your arm.

Tritium Gambit is the first in the comic science fiction series Max and Miranda.

Available on Amazon.com.

Teenage superheroes, fast cars, and girl problems.

Yesterday, Ben's biggest problem was a girl. Today, super-charged thugs and the government are hunting him down.

Splitting Seconds was written before Tritium Gambit, but remains unpublished. Currently, I'm in the process of reworking sections.

The cover and title may change.

Teenagers don't always follow the rules. Actually, they never do. Felix is no exception.

He sneaks out at night and follows other campers to a cave near Secret Lake. A harmless pet isn't so harmless when introduced to a new planet.

Secret Lake takes place in the same universe as the Max and Miranda series, but involves teenage aliens at a summer camp and is geared toward young adult readers.

The title and cover are still a work in progress.
