"A master of creating an intricate and immersive world occupied by unique and relatable characters. Highly recommended!" — Reader's Favorite "Speculative science fiction that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish." — Reader's Favorite "Believable, well-developed characters... a gritty, authentic setting... compelling themes of found family, fidelity, rebellion, and power." — Reader's Favorite "A richly imagined world... exciting and atmospheric... well worth the read." — Reedsy Discovery Star Sheriff Jack Kessler thought a posting to Osiris I would mean the quiet life he’d earned; a distant Saturnian colony, a war long behind him. But when a miner dies under suspicious circumstances, the local police and the all-powerful Solar Mining Corporation want it dismissed as an accident. Jack knows better. What begins as a single death unravels into a web of conspiracy: compromised institutions, weaponized belief, and a planetary revolt disguised as progress. As he digs deeper, Jack finds himself protecting a grieving teenage girl, confronting a manipulative corporate regime, and reckoning with the ghosts that still haunt his damaged body and mind. From magnetic MagSled rails looping the city to the ever-present HoloLens connecting every colonist, Osiris Rising immerses you in a vividly imagined future; one where survival, loyalty, and truth collide in unexpected ways, forever grounded in reality and the realm of possible. A story of memory embedded in the body, the failure of institutional morality, and the quiet defiance of found family, Osiris Rising resists genre clichés in favor of moral ambiguity, slow revelation, and the notion that survival itself can be the most radical act. The first installment in The Jack Kessler Chronicles.

My prose is textured and lyrical, written in the belief that fiction can reveal what history forgets and what power obscures.
