My latest series is called the Revolution series, and it is my first venture into the Dystopian or Post-Apocalyptic genre. As far as I know today, there will be four books, two of which have been published, one is ready for publication, and the final book is still undergoing a final reread before editing, and cover design. The original concept came from the last book I wrote before starting this journey, The Old House: An Everlasting Love Story.
The Old House is an interesting tale of soulmates who meet again in one life after the next, and more crucially how they met in their current life-times. The house plays a critical role throughout. The house have followed them too, with quite dramatic changes over the millennia to be sure. As Simon Carter opens each door, he finds passages to different time. In one, he discovers the horribly messed-up world of 2121. It is that world I try to recreate in the new books. A future Simon Carter also plays a role, although he is not a central character.
These books tell the story of Jack Kennedy, a boy born in 2107. In his world, America is in shambles. Long before he was born, the national debt became unsustainable, causing the currency and economy to collapse. Since the USA is such a large part of the global economy, the world economy collapsed as well. Now, the political and economic elites live in luxury in their domed city-centers, while everyone else lives in squalor. The domes are surrounded by weathered tenements where the workers eek out an existence. Further out, the poor live in miserable slums. The cities are walled to offer some protection, while the countryside is overrun by gangs and terrorists.
To be honest, there is some of my political view embedded in the story, but not much. Like many of my tales, the story is about fighting against seemingly impossible odds to survive and save the once great nation. Unfortunately for everyone else, the future depends on what Jack and his friends do.
Please check them out. Reviews are highly prized by me and other Indie authors. If you do read one or more, please do let me know what you thought.
And be on the lookout soon for 2123: Dawn’s Early Light. A few months from now, the finale, 2125: Home of the Brave will close it out. Thanks for your interest.

Okay, I admit it: I am a conservative. I am also extremely concerned about the rapid expansion of the Federal government. Under the guise of helping the folks, our representatives have created a political class that they view as above the normal folks like you and me. The Founders envisioned normal citizens taking time out of their lives to go to Washington and help set the course for the nation. After a term or two, they would return to their normal lives, grateful for the opportunity to serve. Let’s face it: that ended long ago.
It won’t be long now before the launch of Book 4 of the Modern Prophet series, also known as Demonic. Just today I had a e-mail conversation with a friend about graphic violence in novels. While I generally stay away from that, when I started this book, I decided that I wanted to scare the heck out of myself. Well, I think I succeeded. After one more review by my editor and one more read by me, you will be able to find out for yourself.
Hand of God, book three of the Modern Prophet series will be released for Kindle on March 17, 2015. Follow this
I have just posted a giveaway on 
a free copy of my book, Two Doors, on Amazon. Join Peter Smith on his journey of discovery, as he finds himself caught between the forces of good and evil. He will be forced to make choices that could lead to his own death and the destruction of all life on Earth.
Here it is! After months of work on my new novel, I am happy to share the cover with my friends. Two Doors is the first book in the Modern Prophet series. These books tell the story of young men who discover abilities far beyond those of normal people. They are then pounced upon by new foes who will do anything to control or kill them.
