No Country for Patriots

A nation divided. A system broken. One man refuses to play by the rules.

Calvin Mercer never planned to run for president. A retired Marine and former senator, he walked away from politics when it stopped serving the people it was meant to represent.

But when both parties offer more of the same—and the country edges closer to tearing itself apart—Mercer does the unthinkable.

He runs as an Independent.

What begins as a long-shot campaign quickly becomes something more. As Mercer and his team build a movement that refuses to bend to party lines, they gain momentum—and make powerful enemies.

When an assassination attempt changes everything, the fight moves beyond the campaign trail and into the shadows of power, where influence is bought, truth is buried, and justice comes at a cost.

In a world where loyalty is currency and truth is negotiable, one question remains:

Can a single idea—freely chosen, not forced—still change the course of a nation?

No Country for Patriots is a gripping political thriller about power, principle, and the cost of standing for something when everything is on the line.

AARNE

Still in the Wild (Coming Late 2026 or Early 2027)

Ninety years after the collapse, Aarne lives at the edge of the world where governments, cities, and old wars have long since faded into memory. In the far north, survival depends on the land, the seasons, and the people willing to carry responsibility forward.

Raised among the last remnants of a forgotten clan and accompanied by the great polar bear he saved as a cub, Aarne has no interest in changing history. History merely passes through him.

Set in the Empirical World, Aarne is a standalone novel that can be read before, after, or entirely apart from The Empirical Age Trilogy. It reveals a different truth about the end of civilization: in some places, the world did not end.

It simply stopped arriving.

Where the Wolves Wait

A Novella

At seventy-six years old, Dan McAllister has already said goodbye to the love of his life.

After fifty-four years of marriage, Sarah is gone, leaving behind a silence that no amount of time seems able to fill. Dan sets out alone into the remote wilderness of northern Manitoba with a simple mission: carry Sarah's ashes back to the lake and cabin they left behind fifty years ago.

The journey is anything but simple.

As the miles wear him down, Dan faces relentless rain, freezing temperatures, isolation, and the growing limits of an aging body. Along the way, memories of a lifetime together accompany him through the forests, across rivers, and into the vast Canadian backcountry. Every step forces him to confront grief, regret, love, and the question that haunts anyone left behind:

How do you keep living after the person you love is gone?

Part wilderness adventure, part meditation on loss, and ultimately a celebration of a life well lived, Where the Wolves Waitis a moving story about devotion, resilience, and finding peace when the trail reaches its end.

For anyone who has loved deeply, lost painfully, and searched for the strength to take one more step forward.
