Listen to the author read a portion of the first chapter from his upcoming novel, The Heart of Death, which releases on 12/12/25, Paperback, Kindle, KU!

"Aeron Mast, billionaire tech mogul and former god of death, has lived so long he's seen--and sometimes helped--empires fall. When the few remaining gods begin disappearing, Aeron grows desperate to leave a lasting legacy that doesn't involve scythes or eternal damnation. In an effort to kindle the divine sparks hidden within humanity, he hires a down-on-his-luck writer to chronicle his story.

As they sift through the highs and lows of his immortal life, Aeron confronts the human cost of his divine exploits and the emptiness of his wealth and power. With the other gods disappearing, Aeron is forced to confront the value of his own existence and the legacy he'll leave behind - a story of power, mortality, and what it means to be human."
