Welcome to the Starbreaker saga…
The dark lord wears white.
He already rules the world.
Now he wants to save it.
He might even manage it, too…
…with a little help from his enemies.

about
The vast majority of my fiction is part of a science fantasy saga I’ve been working on in fits and spurts since I was eighteen and high on an overdose of fiction by Michael Moorcock; music by Judas Priest, the Blue Öyster Cult, and Queensrÿche; anime like Vampire Hunter D and Akira; and video games like Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, and Metal Gear Solid.
I named my saga Starbreaker after the Judas Priest song and a weapon mentioned in Stephen Baxter’s sf. It started as a silly little story about a metalhead who defied heaven and hell alike because they had the nerve to start Armageddon the day he was finally going to get to see Iron Maiden; he had been gifted a black diamond sword with which to fight them by the Lead Bodhisattva.
Submitting that story got me a failing grade in my creative writing class, but I didn’t let that stop me. It’s not award-winning stuff, but I had a shitload of fun writing it and it did help me meet my wife.
