The manuscript is complete - just one more polish and it'll go to press.

Death Dealer by Frank Frazetta
My recently almost-completed manuscript that will be out soon is The Fifth Horseman, an epic fantasy science fiction adventure tale. Set in a chaotic near future, the story follows the journey of a traumatized special forces veteran who discovers he carries the dormant bloodline of the 5th Horseman, and now he must prevent the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse from returning to earth and destroying everything, including his family.
My Romulus Buckle cover artist, Eamon O’Donaghue, is currently working on the book’s official cover but that may take a while, so I’ll probably first release it with a temporary cover. If you’d like to help me afford the cover art and independent publication costs, I’d be thrilled if you became a paying subscriber and get all the goodies that come with being a patron. Of course, you don’t have to do that and I’ll love you anyway.
Here is the first chapter of The Fifth Horseman.
Everybody can read the first chapter here on my SUBSTACK blog. Check it out and enjoy!
