They planned the perfect heist. They didn’t plan on Bigfoot.
After committing a series of daring robberies, Mason, Travis and Jack disappear into the untamed forests of the Pacific Northwest with their loot. Little do they suspect, however, that the forest holds secrets far more terrifying than any of their crimes.
As paranoia fractures their unity, and the body count rises, they must confront the legendary creatures of the Pacific Northwest and forge a fragile alliance with a compound of doomers, hippies and preppers.
Plunge into this arresting tale where greed meets primal fear, where campfire stories drift out of the smoke into real life, and where the line between myth and reality becomes perilously thin.

Three novellas linked by a common field of battle...
THE ROADS TO BALDAIRN MOTTE is a mosaic fantasy novel composed of three long tales interspersed with short scenes and historical documents. Events are sometimes told out of sequence, or are told multiple times from different vantage points. Characters central to some stories, completely disappear from others.
This is done with the intent of providing a broader understanding of what befell at the ruins of Baldairn Motte. It is left to you, the reader, to determine the heroes and the villains, if any truly exist.
Plunged into a war of succession, the captain of the Black Wind is forced into the service of the powerful Earl of Gaulang. Ensnared in a tangle of bargains and betrayal, the captain and his crew fight for survival, finding allies in the unlikeliest of places.
To the north, the commander of the Titan Guard, the elite fighting force of Lord North, travels to the edge of civilization to enlist the help of barbarian giants known as the Marchers. But such aid comes at a cost, and the price of victory may spell doom for all.
From simple crofts, farms, and villages come the ranks of the engaging armies. A crofter hunts for his missing sons at the peril of his life and honor, while a miller follows his lord to battle, eager to rattle spears against enemy shields. Hungry and exhausted, both men will find they are but dander upon the wind in the great game of the Passions.
And struggle as they might, all roads will lead them to the ruins at Baldairn Motte.

Keep Portland Squamous.
The Great Old One has re-awoken and he is invincible.
Civilization can't withstand his might. Towns fall apart like toys. The army fails at every step. Humanity itself is wrapped up in his dark dreaming, or utterly dumbfounded at the very sight of Cthulhu.
A handful of survivors on the Oregon coast desperately cling to sanity, including a deposed Cultist leader, an indigenous Oregonian armed with the Elder Sign, and a pair of Norwegian scientists working on a secret weapon. But how can a monster of the Mythos be stopped? And what if, as his cultists claim, Cthulhu is the very reason humanity climbed from the primordial ooze in the first place?
