I recently partnered up with a fine company named Shepherd.com. They ask authors to write short reviews of five books in a specific genre with specific content. They post the reviews, along with one of the authors novels that also fits that genre. It’s a unique business model, and a wonderful place for readers to go and find a book that is exactly their taste.
My first list has just been published, and I chose five of my favorite science fiction novels that include some political intrigue and adventure. My novel, mortals as they walk, fits that description as well. Click on the image below to read the short reviews.

In a world where science blurs the line between destiny and design, three lives converge in a gripping tale of genetic manipulation, hidden truths, and the relentless pursuit of human perfection. Pate Williamson, a once-promising tech genius reduced to homelessness, is lured into a secretive research project with the promise of a million dollars—and a chance to reclaim his life. Eris, haunted by the loss of her family and the child she believed was lost forever, finds herself entangled in the same mysterious experiment. Meanwhile, young Salim, raised in a carefully crafted illusion of normalcy, discovers his identity is a lie crafted to protect him from a shadowy underworld.
Spanning continents and decades, Mortals As They Walk explores the ethical boundaries of biotechnology as these unlikely allies are drawn into a web of corporate greed, espionage, and betrayal. With cutting-edge nanotech and genetic engineering at its core, the novel questions who controls our fate—and at what cost. As forces converge in a race to possess their unique DNA, Pate, Eris, and Salim must navigate a treacherous path to uncover the truth, protect their newfound family, and decide whether to end a project that could redefine humanity—or let it define them.
