Welcome to my site!
I'm glad you're here. I hope you enjoy perusing the fiction I've created. It has been a labor of love. There is always more cooking, though I don't write nearly as fast as I wish I could. A full time job, a wife, and two kids at home might have something to do with that. If you have any questions or thoughts on my work, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at: whatnextpod@gmail.com.Happy reading!

Something about Prince James' life isn't quite right. Even as the heir to the throne of England, he wonders if he shouldn't be doing more. After all, what has been the point of his martial training? Training that goes far beyond self defense.
Jake's first novel, The Gauntlet, is a genre-bending epic that follows multiple protagonists through their quests to set things right. It is historical fiction mixed with comic-book style storytelling.
