Books
A few books I am working on — a near-future novel, a practical drone-engineering reference, and a fan-fiction tribute. Covers, summaries, and a few samples below. None of these are the whole book.
In progress AI Fusion A near-future novel about trust without control Four burned-out engineers and a newborn AI crack clean fusion in a dead Morro Bay power plant — then have to decide who gets the reactor, and whether the AI that helped them can be trusted with the same freedom.
Working manuscript Drone Field Guide From the garage to the field and back again A practical engineering reference for designing, building, and testing unmanned aircraft: how to read an airframe, the handful of numbers that matter, and the failures that teach you the rest.
Fan fiction The Magnificent Log An Expeditionary Force fan story A memoir in the voice of Skippy the Magnificent — what the galaxy's most advanced (and most modest) AI was really doing during the Flying Dutchman's first trip home to Earth, while Joe was stuck in meetings.
