Book Description
This is the second book in the Rimduum Series. In Shadows of Silver returns you to the same wondrous world deep beneath the Rocky Mountains filled with metalcraft, mystical settings, goofy friend groups, family drama, and everyday magic. Book Two Description The fate of RIMDUUM balances on the edge of a knife. It's been a long winter. After months of searching for a solution to my curse, I still can't sleep in the Loamin world. I'm burdened with a single reoccurring dream—a snapshot from my grandfather’s memories fixated on a dark and haunting mineshaft. Meanwhile, Rugnus and Andalynn are preoccupied, working feverishly, night and day, to prepare for the StoneYoke Festival. For the first time in centuries, the citizens of Whurrimduum and Tungsten City will gather for an unprecedented celebration of unity. But as Andalynn begins the opening ceremony, terror strikes the central amphitheater. Unable to budge or access bluelink, millions of Loamin watch horrified as the very preparations for the festival turn against them. When the dust settles, the council's suspicion falls on me. They enlist a clever and beautiful paladin to investigate the origin of the attack. Despite the risk, I’m drawn to the paladin’s intelligence and mystery. As we search to uncover the real threat, I'll need to keep my friends and family close, as well as a good shield. Mortal danger is only a dungeon away. Don't wait to read this page-turning second installment in the RIMDUUM universe.

Book Description
When Wise Guys meet the Wise Ass and friends, all hell breaks loose. After his brothers are murdered, a New York mob lawyer testifies against his associates and is forced to enter WITSEC (the Witness Protection Program). He and his wife are relocated to a rural area outside a small town in Colorado where he is compelled to adapt to his new life under the constant threat of mafia reprisal. Reflexively resisting his immersion into all things country, this life long city boy meets and adopts a loquacious mule and befriends his closest neighbors, who have even greater secrets to conceal. A renegade US Marshall, a lesbian couple that includes a powerful psychic-medium-witch and an ex-army ranger complete his new circle of friends. When the mob associates are released due to the lawyer's intentionally prejudicial testimony at trial, they come gunning for him before the retrial can occur. "Witty, gritty, and full of heart." –Dr. Nick Atlas, author of The Light Travelers

Book Description
This book outlines how to reorganize the U.S. Army into a fully 2 and 3-Dimensional maneuver capable, ground force with terrain-agile, armored fighting vehicles sized to rapidly deploy by fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to the scene of world conflicts and strike at the heart of freedom‚s enemies. The plan to build the Army into Air-Mech-Strike Forces, exploiting emerging information-age technologies, as well as America‚s supremacy in aircraft and helicopter delivery systems---at the lowest cost to the taxpayers, is described in detail. These Army warfighting organizations, using existing and some newly purchased equipment, will shape the battlefield to America‚s advantage, preserving the peace before it is lost; if not, then winning fights that must be fought quickly. The dangerous world we live in moves by the speed of the AIR, and the 21st Century U.S. Army 2D/3D combat team will dominate this medium by Air-Mech-Strike!

Book Description
With his friends and family on the line, Clayson must find a way to heal the world. Rimduum is shattered. Stranded on the surface, my friends and I search for survivors of the mithrium crown's terrible power. Desperately, we track down refugees as we build a network of safe houses to shelter the vulnerable from roaming bands of darksmiths. But the more we help, the more our power shrinks. Until new clues force me to strike a strange alliance. My search for a power strong enough to fight back will lead us all into dangerous territory. To the forest of Gamgim, filled with wraiths. To a city of fallout where the living buildings want nothing more than to absorb you into the machine. And to the dungeon of the champion Erikzin Brightstorm. Though darksmiths lie around every corner, the fate of the mithrium poses an even greater danger. Uncovering its origin could lead us to a power that would make the world right again. But the truth has already cost us so much, and I’m afraid of where it might lead. Will the power add up to something I can use to protect those I love? Or will the secrets I reveal increase the deadly cost born by all who find themselves prisoners in the world of Rimduum? Grab the final installment of this epic trilogy right now!
