Series edit
Vampire Earth edit
In the Vampire Earth series, aliens from a world known as Kur have taken over the world, destroying human society and enslaving the survivors. The novels follow the life of David Valentine, a young man who enlists with Southern Command, one of the few remnants of the old U.S. government scattered around, as he follows his heart even when it conflicts with orders.
Age of Fire edit
The Age of Fire series takes place in a world where dragons exist, but are becoming extinct. Civilization is under attack by barbarians from the north. Each of the first three novels in the series follows the life of one of three dragon siblings from fireless hatchlings to soaring dragons. The next three books follow the dragon siblings as they attempt to bring dragons back to the world.
Dragoneer Academy edit
The Dragoneer Academy series is a subsequent series that takes place in the same world as Age of Fire, years later. In the Dragoneer Academy a young girl, Ileth, applies to become a Novice in the Serpentine Academy in order to become a Dragon Rider. There she meets a very old dragon who, while not explicitly revealed by name, is very likely DharSii from the Age of Fire series.
