If you love it when you find a new series of books with intriguing characters, The Leeth Dossier and Leeth Ascending just might be for you. Two arcs of a cross-genre series blending hard science-fiction with fantasy, and driven by a most unusual young girl, the story is set in our world a couple of decades after magic mysteriously started working. (Again?)
“An abusive childhood creates a disturbingly innocent killer, who through a few precious friendships and her own strength and courage, slowly changes to something far more.”
Reviewers have found the books both compelling and disturbing, by turns dark and funny, but always hopeful. Leeth is a young girl with confidence in herself, who will never, ever give up.
I hope this website will be of value and interest to you.
Latest Book – Cold Heart (Leeth Ascending, vol. 2)
Leeth’s latest mission takes her to Newtopia City, two kilometers under the West Antarctic ice sheet. I hope you find this one worth the (overly long, sorry!) wait.
This time the cover required the creative energies of two artists — Mirella de Santana, and David Peterson, for the little guy clutching Leeth’s arm.
Previous Book – Lost Girl (Leeth Ascending, vol. 1)
It took months longer than I’d hoped and planned, but I managed to publish the first book in the new series arc on Dec 11th, 2020. Mirella did a fantastic job of the cover, though I’d failed to notice I had a typo in my tagline! But immediately after her return from holidays, she corrected it for me and I updated everything.
This is volume one in the final arc of the series: a new arc because of the nature of the new escapade, and what will follow. You can also look inside it via its Nielsen ‘biblet‘.
There’s a little interview with Leeth herself at The Protagonist Speaks, which occurs very shortly before the events of the new book Lost Girl. I had hoped to pre-release it to early reviewers at the end of July or start of August, 2020. It wasn’t that easy in practice.
Across the full series I expect there will be about ten books, in the end. I release all my books as ebooks and A-format (4.25″x7″ mass-market) and B-format (5″x8″) paperbacks. The paperback links above are for the B-format editions.
