Off the Reservation by Lee Gull (I know...another pseudonym)
See excerpt on my mystery page.
---Walter Jon Williams, author of This Is Not a Game says…
“Lee Gull has created a fresh, believable character in Michael Yazzie, with a heart as big as the landscapes of the American Southwest."
This story is out as digital at Amazon & Barnes and Noble available in paperback
From Enigma House Press!!
This story is about a young man walking between two cultures, seeking justice.
When he’s with his family in the Navajo Lands, looking white isn’t a problem for half-Navajo Michael Yazzie. It is why his aunt sends him to the city to look for a missing relative. Arriving in Phoenix, he finds that his cousin is in jail accused of murder. Matters become especially complicated when Michael realizes his cousin’s lawyer is the white father who abandoned him as a child.
To bring his cousin home, Michael has to track the real murderer in an unfamiliar urban wilderness. He is forced to form alliances with the father he doesn't trust, a news reporter he doesn't understand, and a street person who may have motivations of her own. Together they deal with an over-worked police force and a cunning serial killer.

Carnival Charlatan - urban fantasy
was one of Amazon's Editor's Favorite BEST BOOKS OF 2014
Available through: -contacting me at [email protected]
(the publisher hasn't been paying royalties and won't return the rights to me.)
In Carnival Charlatan, twenty-six year old Ariel Land can channel the earth’s energy into raw power, make doorways to other dimensions, has psychic insights, and can throw a spell as well as any witch, yet she hides her abilities under the guise of a carnival Tarot reader.
Magical beings have caused her family nothing but trouble.
Myths and legends come from somewhere. Ariel knows the place, and wants to avoid it.
Ariel’s plan to live a limited magic lifestyle is frustrated when the disappearance of a friend forces her into the same type of supernatural situation that killed her mother. She must choose between loyalty to her Carney friends or her sense of self-preservation.
If that weren’t enough, a serial killer determined to rid the world of witches is stalking her.

Legion of Strangers, is finished and in search of an agent.
A character driven military space opera that takes the French Foreign Legion into space. An excerpt can be found on the Space Opera page of this site.
In the cutthroat twenty-fifth century business landscape of Earth, failure is not an option. To save the family corporation, Beau Aelstrom accepts disgrace and leaves his privileged life to join the Legion of Strangers, the remnants of the French Foreign Legion and the last military force on Earth.
The Legion’s tradition of making meaningless sacrifice a virtue is the ultimate irony for Beau. His only regret is that his twin sister followed him into the Legion. Both he and his sister find that military service offers them freedom and friendships they never knew as corporate functionaries. To completely leave their old life behind, the siblings volunteer for duty on Earth’s colony world.
On the journey to the colony, Beau realizes the corporate propaganda he’d accepted all his life, is not the whole truth. Unknown to people on Earth, Colonials live with privation and dangerous working conditions. A mine collapse, mismanaged by the corporation governor, causes the loss of hundreds of Colonist lives. The indifference of the mine administrators sets the stage for an insurrection. During Beau’s trip, rebellion ferments both on the Colony and within Beau. When the Legion arrives, the ensuing battle tests Beau’s convictions and challenges his sense of honor.
