It’s been a whole-ass year since I published my first book!
...APPARENTLY?
To celebrate this strange occurrence, I’ve improved both books one AND two of my ten-part sci-fi MLM series!
What To Expect in the Improved Books:
chapter header images (paperback only)
lower page count (due to smaller and better print)
custom title pages
resolved minor editing whoopsies that somehow slipped by me despite going over each word and sentence with several fine-tooth combs (hey it happens)
overall better and less annoying formatting
I will reiterate from a previous post:
— It is NOT NECESSARY OR EXPECTED for anyone who has already purchased the older versions to purchase the Anniversary Makeover versions. The content has not changed. The stories have not changed. This is completely, 100% optional. —
If you haven’t already purchased any of the books...congrats! you get a much prettier one to match the rest of the series going forward.

Thriving—
Warren Cougar has always been passionate about outer space and the beings that supposedly live far beyond the realm of his knowledge. He works for an organization that deals with the possibility of the otherworldly, after all.
And then an alien by the name of Orthrive’poliea crashes into the lake near Warren’s cabin. Everything he’s dreamed about has become real, and now faces the likelihood of becoming a lab experiment at the grotesque hands of ETHOS.
Driven by his virtues and an instant powerful, enigmatic affinity for Thrive, Warren puts his life at risk to separate himself from ETHOS—to keep Thrive from falling into their clutches. It’s the right thing to do.
But when the journey toward Thrive’s freedom is further endangered by a looming threat far out of either of their control, the fight for survival doubles, and the chances of success fall sharply away. Whatever the right thing happens to be, it begins to look like the one thing that would break Warren’s heart the most.
Thriving: Destiny—
A few years have passed since the events in Alaska. Warren Cougar finds himself traversing the galaxy for enough alien firepower to rid the Earth of the eliyi—with the assistance of Thrive, for whom his feelings have grown in the time they've been apart.
Between an ocean planet, a bloodthirsty frost dragon, a debilitating injury, and the catalysts of an intergalactic war, Warren attempts to navigate his own internal conflicts while also fighting to keep himself alive.
When the sentient darkness of the universe known as the Emmuli becomes a key player in the impending destruction of the Milky Way, however...that may be a task easier dreamed about than achieved.
M31 Arc (books 1–5)—
The dramatic collision of Orthrive’poliea’s vehicle with a nearby lake upends Warren Cougar’s life more than he ever expected. Along with conspiracies, intergalactic war, and tumultuous dealings with interspace politics, he has to survive a hostile alien army and a semi-omnipotent sentient darkness doing everything in their power to destroy Earth and the rest of the Milky Way—and Thrive’s native galaxy, Andromeda. Navigating their way through seemingly endless battle after seemingly endless battle, Warren and Thrive also find they must navigate themselves as well as their growing relationship with each other.

In the event the link doesn’t work (as it doesn't appear to be working for me at the moment and I'm not sure if that's the case for everyone), search for “Thriving series” on Amazon and it’ll be there!
My sister has received her copy of the book! It's the first time I'm seeing it in its physical form and I have to say I'm SO stoked about it!! I can't believe it's there and that soon I'll be able to hold a copy in my hands too! It's all so surreal!
Hello! I am interrupting your day to inform you that I have self-published my book!
Buy Here!
You can only buy in paperback as of now, but relatively soon I will make it available in eBook format as well.
I am so excited to share the first of ten books with all of you! I’ve worked so hard on it, and I can’t believe that after over two decades of writing I’m finally a published author.
Thank you so much for sticking with me! After I take a break from the publishing game, I’ll be back to making sure I can get book two out as fast as I can without sacrificing the story or quality!
