Book Description:
Caught between love and revenge, Jake has one chance to live up
to the man his uncle was.
Earth crashed into
interstellar politics as a lightweight, lagging so far behind
other planetary weapons systems everyone feared they wouldn’t
survive first contact with other worlds without quick action. By
2185, Earth had united itself into five geographic sectors and
developed a defense system powerful enough to keep aggressors at
bay—for now, at least.
Jake Saunders became a Legion
soldier to honor the memory of his war hero uncle, who was
brutally murdered in front of him when he was still a young teen.
Fast forward a few years, and Jake and his best friend Cal have
been tasked with escorting Cal’s older sister Diane to become
Earth’s ambassador on a far-off planet. It’s the opportunity of
Diane’s career, very likely a lifetime post. But for Jake, that
could mean a lifetime’s heartbreak. He has loved Diane since they
were kids, and every step closer to that ambassador assignment is
a step closer to goodbye.
But somebody is after more
than Earth’s defense, and Jake, Cal, and Diane are on a trajectory
to crash headlong into that dangerous plot. Somebody wants to play
Earth against its most immediate threat, Craton, and convince both
to develop super weapons—and he’s working with the person who
killed Jake’s uncle all those years ago. When he reappears on
Jake, Cal, and Diane’s journey to the ambassadorship, Jake is
faced with difficult choices to look out for his friends and honor
his uncle’s memory.

Author Interview
Which was the hardest character to write? The easiest?|
The hardest character in The Darker the Skies to write was probably the main character, Jake Saunders. This is because he’s constantly fighting an internal battle between duty to his planet and the Legion and his love for Diane. Just when he thinks he has it figured out, another obstacle gets thrown into his path and changes the equation.

The easiest to write would have to be Frank
Cantor because he’s a throw-back to the old western cowboys. He talks and acts
like one. That makes writing Frank fun.
Most of it comes from years and years of
reading and watching science fiction and dystopian books, television shoes, and
movies. I love sci-fi, so there’s a lot of it in my head.
Yes, I am a business attorney. I work on
contracts, mergers and acquisitions, securities, and anything business related.
That is a far different writing style than penning science fiction novels.
Young Adult. I started writing young adult
because I had kids. I wanted them to be able to read what I wrote and enjoy it.
Now that my kids are older, I am branching out. My current project is a murder
mystery.
What’s your favorite dessert?
Anything with chocolate and peanut butter in
it.
