Mendel's Ladder: A Grimdark Scifi Epic (The Collected Histories of Neoevolution Earth Book 1)


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6JYBKTN/

Outlast. Outgrow. Outlive. In the ashes of Earth, evolution is the ultimate weapon.

In 2099, Earth is unrecognizable. Ravaged by climate change, nuclear devastation, and other cataclysmic events, the planet and its people continue to undergo radical changes in order to survive. Most of humanity has allowed themselves to be transformed into Nomads, bizarre human-plant hybrids who continue their lifecycle as flesh-bearing trees connected to a vast mycelial network that forms Earth’s burgeoning consciousness. Welcome to the thrilling, action-packed, and emotionally compelling world of Mendel's Ladder, the first book in the epic sci-fi series, The Collected Histories of Neoevolution Earth.

Battling across the world after the destruction of their home, a pair of cybernetically enhanced warrior women bound by love and loyalty clash with Mutants, Biofreaks, and various other dangers to protect two human-like girls known as the Virus and the Cure. Traveling alongside them is an enigmatic Nomad who has served as the girls’ protector since they were created. Together, they must face the enslaved Hunter and the ruthless Huntress, lethal creations of the old world. The Hunter just wants to save the human woman he loves and lost, while the Huntress desires only to continue the Eternal Hunt and eradicate the final bastions of humanity remaining on Earth. Above this unforgiving landscape, the utopian space station Astrea offers refuge to the select few who escaped Earth's devastation. Here, a tireless worker and son of a notorious revolutionary discovers the harrowing truths hidden beneath the veneer of Astrea's idyllic existence, exposing a reality more insidious than anyone ever imagined.

While these characters' paths intersect in surprising and explosive ways, ancient powers lurk in the shadows, wielding god-like influence and potentially orchestrating the fate of the world itself. With societies and cultures on the brink of collapse, our heroes must form unexpected alliances and confront their deepest fears to protect their fragile world from the encroaching darkness.

Mendel's Ladder delivers an adrenaline-fueled journey set on a dystopian future Earth, brimming with high-stakes action, adventure, and mystery. This epic series opener plunges readers into a world filled with diverse cultures, heart-pounding battles, and characters who will captivate your heart and imagination.

Editorial Review for Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars

Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars is truly remarkable. Imagine Michael, Lily and their daughter Gabrielle as they step foot in Haven - an ominous town filled with mystery - to settle their late aunt's estate, only to encounter more trouble than anticipated!

Haven is one of those picturesque postcard towns in the middle of nowhere, but currently frozen in the dead of winter and it hides ancient secrets and an evil aura that doesn't go away. Michael starts seeing things that would give anyone chills: dark waters, shadowy figures under the ice... It's all there.

And Haven has its own history: an obscure cult that worshiped questionable deities, ancient ruins, and whispers from the past that don't seem to go away. As more members of this family explore Haven's past, the more they realize they're dealing with something much larger and sinister.

Arkhangel really puts family relationships to the test, forcing them to remain close as every shadow could hide something horrible. Arkhangel strikes that balance between chill-down-your-spine moments and deeper questions about family and loyalty that makes for a thrilling storyline.

Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars will satisfy your supernatural cravings while also appealing to your emotions, making for an engaging ride through a town that's both lovely and creepy, featuring a family trying to find their place. Once you step inside Haven with them, you won't want to leave until you've discovered each and every secret it holds!

The Whistle Blower Handbook Series (Author Interview)


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFJ63XFT?binding=paperback&ref=dbs_dp_sirpi

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/selah-shaun-randolph/1143930668?ean=9798857168172


What inspired you to write Selah and share your story with the world?

At first writing Selah was a sort of therapeutic exercise. As many people can imagine, going through workplace “drama” in and of itself can be anxiety-inducing, so to go the route of becoming a full-blown whistleblower was traumatic to say the least.

I started writing Selah maybe 2-3 months into the process and the words just flowed. Every intricate emotion, every detail… writing the book helped me reduce my stress, helped me sleep at night and even helped me to remember small pieces of information as I reported things to investigators.

I think it’s also important to share that there were several versions of Selah. The first version was very angry, vengeful and frankly over the top. Then maybe a few weeks after writing a particular chapter, I’d re-write it into something closer to its final version that had more of a autobiographical feel. Then in the final writing phase, I decided that I wanted to not just tell the story but share what happened in a way that would support and /or prepare others like me. That’s when the “Whistleblower Handbook” concept was born.

 

How did you navigate the risks of revealing political greed without disclosing specific names and organizations?

Well… technically I had to first learn the hard way. You see, although the book itself didn’t mention names or organizations, I definitely called out people by name in a few interviews I did as everything was unfolding. At one point in time, the Board of Directors that I was initially at odds with was removed from their positions, by their own official votes no less. What sparked my initial fiery response was because that group of people deleted official Board minutes as well as a recorded Zoom meeting where they took an official Board vote removing themselves from their roles in response to the evidence I brought against them. After getting rid of the proof of their removal, they “fired me”.

I share all that to say, I did a number of interviews after the “firing” to let the community know what was going on and I named names. The interview I’m mentioning is actually still available on Spotify from the radio station that hosted it. It’s quite entertaining but it also got me sued.

As I said, there were several versions of Selah and I imagine while I was being sued, that was when I decided to integrate the idea of switching out real names for the names of chess pieces.
