“Imagine the universe’s opening chord: a chord so fierce it fractured silence itself. That note was The Shattering—the creation myth that forged every star, weapon, and whisper to follow. Today the resonance finds you.”
Friends of myth, metal, and millennia-old secrets—today I’m opening the vault. Part I of the Arsenal of the Gods saga, “The Shattering,” is live on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle.
But this release isn’t a typical trumpet-blast launch—it’s an invitation to sit at the war-council table. I’ve priced the book at cost for print (no profit margin at all) and 99¢—or free whenever Amazon’s promo window allows—for Kindle because I’m hungry for something even more valuable than royalties right now: your unfiltered feedback.
Why I’m Handing You the Keys
Living Archive, Not Finished Relic – Arsenal of the Gods is an evolving chronicle. Releasing Part I early lets me shape the coming volumes with the insights of real readers—your gasps at a twist, your questions about the lore, your “more of that character, please.”
Fair Trade: Ink for Insight – By stripping out profit, I’m signaling good faith. Your pennies cover printing; your thoughts help refine the steel of future chapters.
Early-Bird Bragging Rights – When the full trilogy thunders onto the scene, you’ll be able to say, “I was there when the first shard fell.”
What Awaits Between the Covers
Genetic Memories that Ignite Each Chapter – Ancestral battle flashes that bleed into the now.
Visceral Ground Combat & Sweeping Orbital Warfare – Always anchored in the heartbeat of flawed, driven humans.
No Exposition Dumps – Epic scope revealed through knife-sharp moments of realization.
A Modern-Tolkien Voice – Grand, lyrical—and then suddenly as clean and lethal as a sniper’s crack.
How You Can Shape the Arsenal
Read “The Shattering.” Lose yourself for an evening—or a lunch break, if you chew through prose like a war-hardened skald.
Leave an Amazon review (stars + honest words), or email/DM me anything from typos to “I need more back-alley skirmishes on Ganymede.”
Share the link with any friend who loves sweeping space opera, myth-spliced history, or just a good old-fashioned hero on the edge of annihilation.
Every note you strike becomes part of the war-song that carries into Book II and beyond.

The Road Ahead
The Arsenal is a three-part behemoth. Next up: will be parts 2 and 3 of book 1, tentatively named: "The Awakening", and "The Serpent Stirs". Your guidance now will ripple through every forged page. Together we’ll temper this saga until it rings true as dwarven steel.
So—ready your eyes, unsheathe your imagination, and step into the first fracture of humanity’s forgotten history. Read, react, and help me build a legend.
