On the planet Fortune, tech is low, tensions high, and heroes… unlikely, and none more unlikely than thief-turned-soldier, Gideon Quinn.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Gideon Quinn has spent six years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, until the day a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom, and the chance to clear his name.

Gideon doesn’t have to think twice, and with his pet draco Elvis on his shoulder he takes 'ship for the city of Nike in search of revenge—and justice. But mostly, revenge.

What he finds is a dodger named Mia, a city steeped in corruption, and a menace at the heart of the Corps which could bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end.

And that’s just his first night in town.


Soldier of Fortune is first of The Fortune Chronicles, a science fiction-fantasy hybrid set in the distant future, on the engineered planet Fortune. Here readers will discover elements of the Old West, steampunk, and urban fantasy, with a dash of noir and a generous serving of humor.

On the planet Fortune, tech is low and the price of doing business dangerously steep.

A year after the war with the Coalition states has ended, John Pitte and the crew of the Errant aren't just scraping the bottom of the barrel, they're scraping the deck under the bottom of the barrel.

So when a mysterious woman offers the crew salvation—or, at least a paying job—John signs on, only to discover that neither the job, nor the woman, are what they appear.

Soon, the crew of the Errant are on the run and embroiled in hive of madness and deception, while everything John hoped to save teeters on the brink of disaster.


Written with Kelley McKinnon, Outrageous Fortune is the second book of The Fortune Chronicles, a science fiction-fantasy hybrid set in the distant future, on the engineered planet Fortune.

A perfect assassin. A disgraced operative. One planet may not be big enough for both of them to survive…

Ray Slater is ready to exit the hitman game. Afraid he’s become more weapon than man, he’s itching to escape the deadly life that’s caging him. But he never expected his survival would depend on an interplanetary lawman…

Harry Finn can’t close his last case without the assassin’s help. But when the dishonored ConFed Marshal burns his cover along with an Ocala watering hole, their uneasy partnership is the only thing that keeps him alive.

Outnumbered and outgunned, Ray and Harry plunge deep into an interstellar crime syndicate with two psionically-powered sirens as their guides. On a planet where all guns seem to be trained on them, the hitman and the operative must learn to work together to make it out alive. If they don’t kill each other first…

The Gemini Hustle is the first standalone sci-fi thriller in the Zodiac Files series. If you like snarky banter, three-dimensional characters, and edge-of-your-seat action, then you’ll love McClure and Brown’s spy-fi thrill-ride.

Gideon Quinn has a handful of starbucks, a draco named Elvis, and a target on his back.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Colonel Gideon Quinn has endured six grueling years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, and fully expects to die there. But the former soldier’s fate twists when a general of the Colonial Corps offers Gideon his freedom, and a chance to clear his name.

Seizing the opportunity, Gideon and his pet draco, Elvis, take ‘ship to the city of Nike in search of revenge. And justice. But mostly revenge.

What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a mysterious enemy hell-bent on safeguarding their deadly secrets.

Now Gideon finds himself involved in an entirely different kind of war, one that, if he loses, will shatter the planet’s new and fragile peace.

Prison break! In space!

It's been only a few weeks since Zodiac Agents Harry Finn and Ray Slater captured one of the Known's Most Wanted, disrupted two interstellar crime syndicates, and reunited a broken family. 


For their next act, they are on a mission to exfil a Rasalkan fugitive from Libra Prison Station, which is complicated enough, but when they discover Libra Station is also the center of a dangerous conspiracy, the mission takes on an even greater urgency.


Now, with hundreds of lives—including one of their own—in the balance, can Ray, Harry, and Team Gypsy Moth manage to rescue the asset and put an end to the Libra gambit, or will their luck finally run out?
