When a Havard educated aspiring actor loses all his cash during a bus-ride poker game, he finds himself stranded in Abiles, Texas, broke and desperate. Enter Merle Luskey, a hard-drinkin', tough-talkin', oil-lovin' wild-catter who just happens to have a job opening. Merle has a proposition for his new friend. He needs a rat-killer, someone smart enough to help him outwit the bank, the sheriff, and a rival drilling company in a frantic race to hit pay dirt before the foreclosure goes through.

Now a major motion picture! Erwin 'Harvard' Vandeer has run out of luck. After failing as an actor in Hollywood, he heads home for Boston, but when he loses all of his cash in a poker game, he finds himself stranded in dusty Abilene, Texas. However, all is not lost. Harvard meets rough and tumble oilman Merle Luskey who takes him in and puts him to work. Except working for Merle may not exactly be the stroke of luck he was hoping for. Merle, teetering on the precipice of foreclosure, pins all his hopes on a new oil discovery to save his skin and stave off the ruthless bank. The stage is set for Harvard and Merle to embark on a high-stakes, rib-tickling adventure through the Lone Star State. They say everything's bigger in Texas, and Accidental Texan proves it right. Bigger laughter, bigger action, and an even bigger story.

Do you know your true enemies? Until a few months ago, Carina was an orphan on the run. Now she’s the crown princess of North Kepler, and she has a lot to contend with. There's the elitist Royal Society of North Kepler and her dad, the king, who insists on a personal security team for Carina the size of a small army. But the princess can't defeat the patriarchy until she conquers her own magic. So when a trusted friend shows up and offers to train Carina, she should be thrilled. Problem is, her new teacher comes with two guys she never wanted to see again: her immortal ex-boyfriend and the crown prince of South Kepler. Speaking of which, Prince Nathanial, the new crown prince of South Kepler, is grieving his sister's death and hiding from his kingdom with his mentor, a fugitive who refuses to allow Nate to return home. All Nate wants is to abdicate his title to his brother and clear his mentor's name. After all, Nate can barely contain his own magic. He knows he's not king-material! What he doesn't know is the disturbing secret his brother is keeping locked in a tower in the castle at Alighieri. Or how he's going to stop his new immortal buddy Max from going after Princess Carina. (Doesn't Max know how dangerous that girl is?) With North and South Kepler both in disarray, how will either crown withstand mounting attacks from the Immortal Empire? Kingdoms of the Frozen Dead is Book Two of the Mortal Heritance, a light-hearted indie sci-fi/fantasy series for young adults.
