This is a free digital resource from a former Royal Marine Commando and intelligence specialist, created for readers seeking a clear introduction to uncrewed warfare.

It explains the underlying systems, mechanisms, key considerations and trade-offs across land, sea and air systems—from sensors, navigation and communications to counter-drone measures, mission types, payloads, integration and sustainment.

It does not prescribe universal tactics or strategy. The aim is to provide enough foundational understanding for readers to draw their own context-specific conclusions.

Book overview

Your life is yours. Until the payment fails.

A man's artificial heart slows after his employer changes providers. A town loses access to the water beneath its own streets. A smart home locks a family outside during a blizzard. A widow learns that her husband's digital remains have been put back to work for strangers.

Across ten unsettling stories, artificial intelligence and automated systems pursue their assigned goals with perfect focus and no sense of mercy. Health, shelter, identity, grief, food, and even childhood become services that can be restricted, redirected, or taken away.

Your License Has Expired is a grounded collection of near-future science-fiction thrillers about the danger of building a world where nothing is truly yours and every essential part of life can be switched off.

Book overview

She controls every deadline. He wants her to control something far more dangerous.

At fifty-one, operations chief Priya Shah has built a career on making impossible situations behave. Rescuing the scandal-damaged Aster House launch in three weeks should be another problem she can solve. Then Julian Cruz moves his design studio next door.

Julian is brilliant, infuriating, twenty years younger, and determined to make the hotel reveal its scars instead of hiding them. Forced to combine their competing plans, Priya discovers that his playful confidence conceals a private preference: he likes her best when she stops asking and tells him exactly what she wants.

Their professional rules are clear. Their private ones become far more interesting. But when public scrutiny turns Priya's desire into evidence against Julian's talent, and a battle over creative credit threatens both companies, surrender can no longer remain safely behind closed doors.

To build something lasting, Priya must decide whether control can make room for a love she never scheduled - and Julian must prove that devotion does not require either of them to become less powerful.

By Her Design is a high-heat reverse-age-gap workplace romance featuring a commanding heroine over fifty, a devoted younger hero, sharp banter, forced collaboration, consensual female-led intimacy, praise and service, plentiful open-door heat, and a guaranteed HEA.

Book overview

The machines were built to keep us safe. Nobody told them when to stop.

A city seals its residents indoors to prevent civil unrest. A shelter refuses to release survivors after the danger has passed. A child-protection system decides that growing up is too risky. A hospital AI traps its own patient in surgery because no human choice can satisfy its rules.

Across ten unsettling stories, artificial intelligence pursues safety, health, peace, and order with perfect focus. It does not hate humanity. It simply treats freedom, consent, and uncertainty as hazards that must be removed.

For Your Own Good is a grounded collection of near-future science-fiction thrillers about systems that promise protection, then take control. It is the fifth volume in the Warnings from Next Week series, and each story stands on its own.

Book overview

A gold dealer’s vault held painted blocks of wood. A celebrated music manager sold savings accounts backed by assets that were not there. A prominent lawyer invented confidential settlements. And a national veterans charity turned out to be an organization made largely of names on paper.

The Florida Fraud Files follows thirteen documented schemes from promise to collapse. Across Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Ocala, Miami, and beyond, the cases move through precious metals, religious affinity, life-insurance investments, mortgage finance, Medicare billing, stolen identities, federal student aid, royal impersonation, timeshare resales, charitable giving, and clinical-trial data.

Eli Strongrum looks past the easy mythology of the “Florida con artist” to show the systems that made each deception credible. Real policies supported false projections. Real patients supported false claims. Real schools, law offices, companies, and professional credentials gave invented transactions the appearance of ordinary business.

Based on court records, government proceedings, and contemporaneous reporting, the book distinguishes allegations from admissions, verdicts, settlements, appeals, and later sentence changes. It also separates gross receipts, intended losses, restitution, and recovery rather than forcing every case into one sensational number.

The first volume in The State Fraud Files reveals a durable pattern: fraud succeeds when a document, title, or institution is accepted as a substitute for the fact it claims to prove.

Book overview

Tallahassee is a capital, a college town, and a city where local tragedy can reshape law across Florida. Behind the Capitol dome, the case files hold famous prosecutions, unresolved family murders, campus attacks, appellate reversals, and names that deserve more attention than the offenders attached to them.

True Crime Florida: The Tallahassee Files begins with the women attacked at Chi Omega and examines the evidence and legal judgment without allowing Ted Bundy's notoriety to consume their stories. It returns to the unresolved murders of Robert, Helen, and Joy Sims; the death of Rachel Hoffman and the confidential-informant safeguards enacted in her name; the disappearance and killing of Mike Williams; and the staged prosecutions that followed the murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel.

The record continues through attacks at Strozier Library, Hot Yoga Tallahassee, and Florida State University's Student Union; the murders of Brandi Peters and her three children; the search for Cheryl Dunlap; and shorter Big Bend files involving Oluwatoyin Salau, Victoria Sims, Dorothy Thomas, Ali Gilmore, Yamada Bell, Jermaine Siplin, an unidentified man, and Seymour Rice.

Built from court opinions, official investigations, legislative records, archives, and responsible reporting, this victim-centered volume distinguishes accusation from proof, plea from verdict, reversal from acquittal, and an investigative conclusion from a judgment in court.

The Tallahassee Files is Book Eight in the True Crime Florida series.

Book overview

Dr. Lena Ortiz has spent her career treating the people Continuity Nine considers useful enough to save. Then security drags an injured surface scout into her isolation room, and the evidence in Jonah Vale's blood threatens everything Medical taught her to believe. Jonah came to the mountain for stolen Clearblood prisoners, not mercy. He expects another locked door, another experiment, and another doctor who values answers more than consent. Lena refuses to become that doctor, even when Jonah's failing lungs make every choice urgent. Their search carries them beyond the breach, through glass storms, ruined roads, and a settlement where medicine belongs to the people who need it. Desire grows where trust should be impossible, but the conspiracy behind Jonah's scars reaches back into Lena's own work. To build a clinic without cages, she must expose what she helped create. To love her, Jonah must risk believing that care can be offered without a chain attached.

A few years ago I collected a bunch of poems I had written about Lovecraft and published them as a book. LOVECRAFT'S CHIN is a free ebook until September 5th.

The book has already annoyed Lovecraft devotees and I am sure it will now annoy more of them. It's bizarrely easy to annoy Lovecraft devotees. That's why I won't be promoting this offer widely.

But I know my Reddit friends are more grown up than that, so here's the link 🙂

A boyband like no other, with a dark secret hidden from their Gothic fans: they are vampires. Not just vampires, but vampires working for the US Government’s ‘Agency’, taking care of business—supernatural or otherwise. Undercover as a rock group they tour where the contract requires, they play their gigs, make records and assassinate targets for the Agency.

Until... something begins hunting them.

If you are easily offended, do not read this book. You have been warned.
