The extraordinary recent changes in the publishing industry have allowed me to strike out on my own. I've republished all my novels as ebooks, and am in the process of bringing out print versions. Using the pen name "Trey Shiels," I've also published my first-ever fantasy novel, The Dread Hammer, a darkly comic fairytale of love, war, murder, marriage, and fate. Check it out! Ebook and print versions are available.
If you're a fan of my work, please consider "friending" me on facebook, following me on twitter, signing up for my very occasional newsletter, or writing a review of one of my novels on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, or blogging about my work. Promotion is the hardest part of indie publishing, and I'm ever grateful for your support!

Stories of the Puzzle Lands--Book 2
Stories of the Puzzle Lands began with The Dread Hammer and will soon continue with Hepen the Watcher. To receive an email notice when the book comes out, please sign up for my very rare newsletter (link will take you over to the website for my blog Hahví.net).
In the meantime, if you haven't seen it yet, please take a look at The Dread Hammer. It's true that it's nothing like my science fiction books, but I think it's a damn good read. Try it! Get a free sample of the ebook at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Book View Café, or read the opening here.

NOW AVAILABLE! The Dread Hammer is my newest novel, a darkly comic adventure written under my pen name Trey Shiels. Expect to see it re-published very soon under my real name, and with a new cover.
Ketty is a pretty shepherdess with a contrary nature, who runs away from home to escape an unwanted marriage. As she flees along the forest road, she prays to the Dread Hammer for help--and to her astonishment help comes in the form of a charming and well-armed young murderer named Smoke. As Ketty soon discovers, Smoke is not entirely human.
Smoke, too, is taken by surprise at their encounter. He had lurked beside the forest road intending to pierce hearts and slit throats, not to fall in love. But love it is--or it would be--if only he can convince Ketty that marriage is better than death.
But just when happily-ever-after seems within reach, Smoke's past returns to claim him. A deserter from the Koráyos army, his supernatural skill at killing is still very much in demand. Now the army wants him back.

The nanotechnology novels were originally published from 1995 through 1998 by Bantam Spectra. In November 2010 they were re-published as ebooks by Mythic Island Press LLC under the collective title The Nanotech Succession. Each novel works as a stand-alone story, but since they share the same story world and sometimes the same characters, they can also be read as a loose series. Tech-Heaven is a near-future prequel. The Bohr Maker is Book 1, followed by Book 2, Deception Well, and culminating in Book 3, Vast.
A political thriller that imagines the rise of nanotechnology in our world through the eyes of Katie Kishida, a mother and business woman whose life takes an extraordinary turn when she is widowed, and her husband's body is cryonically frozen against a time when advancing technology will allow his resurrection.
