A new fantasy-adventure-romance series!

 If you liked the FitzDuncan books, be sure to check out my new series that starts with The Thane's Daughter, releasing on April 14, 2026.

For fans of clever rogues, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes fantasy intrigue. In a world where gods meddle and mortals pay the price, one man stands between order and chaos. Dexter Falk is no ordinary problem-solver. Touched by Sylvaris—the fickle god of merchants, travelers, and thieves—he possesses gifts that make him the perfect man for impossible jobs. When a wealthy spice trader’s shipment vanishes despite holy protection, Falk takes the case, only to uncover corruption at the heart of a powerful temple. Along the caravan route across a storm-lashed isthmus, he meets Agatha Voss: a fierce, disguised woman with callused hands, a hidden knife, and a past darker than the Kryyder Islands. Once sold into a monstrous marriage to save her family, she now lives as a wagon driver, hiding from the man who wants her dead. As bandits strike, priests lie, and ancient pacts unravel, Falk and Agatha forge an alliance that blazes into passion. But the price of justice may cost them everything. Award-winning author John Spearman delivers a sweeping tale of gods, greed, and gritty adventure—where a silver tongue and a sharp blade are the only things standing between survival and oblivion. One missing shipment. One forbidden love. One god who loves a good joke. Ready to hire Falk?

Release day for Deceptive Betrayal, Book 5 of the Orion Spur series!

 One ship was a shield. Now, a fleet must become the sword.

The arms race for the Orion Spur has reached a terrifying conclusion. Thanks to a catastrophic technology leak, the Alliance and the Economic Union no longer hold the monopoly on the tyazhest drive—a weapon capable of creating singularities that implode entire battleships in the blink of an eye.

Captain Archer Devereaux, the man who awakened the ancient ship Defender, finds himself sidelined by suspicion. With his partner, Bette Matteson, appearing to defect to the hostile Federation, Archer is grounded and his loyalty questioned just as the galaxy reaches its breaking point.

But when the Federation finally declares open war, the Alliance has only one move left.

To survive a numerical disadvantage that should be certain death, they must launch a desperate, preemptive strike using the new fold strike force—a handful of experimental capital ships capable of instantaneous jumps. Archer is called back to the bridge as Commodore, tasked with leading a high-speed, hit-and-run campaign across enemy systems.

From deep-cover espionage within the Federation to high-octane fleet engagements, the stakes have never been higher. Archer must master the skladka fold technology to strike the heart of the enemy before they can unify their fleets. If he fails, the tyazhest weapons will be turned against inhabited worlds, and the Orion Spur will burn.

Experience the fifth installment of the Orion Spur series, a military science fiction epic where ancient AI secrets and cutting-edge tactics decide the fate of humanity.
