Den of the Ender by James LaFond
This sci-fi tale spans 20,000 years, from the Ice Age to 2843 and follows nine people caught in Time: Tusk, Ghost Walker of the Original People, is called upon to face a supernatural menace. Jay Bracken’s yearning for a normal life has ebbed since discovering he is a genetically engineered war-freak. However, his short-term goals: nubile companionship and the slaughter of foes, have not changed. Three-Rivers, the messiah of a doomed people, has merged with a spirit the medicine-men of Sunset call a ‘singularity,’ which he knows as The Sunken Star. Eddie thought that selling crack in East Baltimore was a rough job! Now he’s being sucked into some messed-up past—guts first—and is scared to death! Aristotle was spirited away from his Athenian enemies by people claiming to hail from 2,335 years in the future. And what an ‘Athenian’ future it is… Scooter played Cartels of Titan 2,062 times without a caffeine injection, causing his avatar to suffer a psychotic break and his uplink implant to flat-line, totally trashing his halo-drive. Now he sits unplugged and unable to interface. Brant has always lived alone with his parents and Lassie. But yesterday he got new parents, and a new Lassie; a nice Lassie, but not his Lassie. Randy Bracken followed his meat-head brother into a time-travel scheme run by some black mad scientist, and is now the most conflicted White Supremacist alive. If only he could get his hands on a bigger, better gun... Joan Henderson, CIA, was brutally raped in the most secure black ops facility in the world. Now she’s pregnant with the maniac’s child, and is heading up the search for her vanished attacker. Whatever he is, he owes her 18 years of child support, and Joan means to collect.

God's Picture Maker by James LaFond
The Sunset Saga Book 3: Cities of Dust, Part 4
Three-Rivers possesses the power to command the thunderbirds and slip through the folds in Time. When he tricked Burnt Man and stole his thunder-hoop, he promised to make this up to his estranged benefactor by bringing the picture maker called Leonardo out of the past. Since Leonardo is just a Whiteman, Three-Rivers is not so concerned about his rights, and means to steal him into the future.

Bruco fought with DaVilla and Cortez and now serves the red-skinned sorcerer Three-Rivers in a quest through Time that will bring him uncomfortably close to his own past. Hyacinth is a twice widowed Dine` [Navaho] in service to a time-bending Iroquois prophet whose judgment and mental health seem erratic at best. Leonardo is a toiling apprentice to Maestro Verrocchio, who—being a poor student of Latin—despairs of ever winning the patronage of the leading Florentine families. What kind of devil’s bargain would he be willing to make to fulfill his artistic ambitions?

Behind the Sunset Veil tells the story of eight individuals involved in the struggle to bend Space-Time for Man’s own purposes:
-Mister Sigmund Shuei a 29th Century time-traveler stranded in the savage 21st Century.
-Jay Bracken, a time-traveler rapidly losing his mind due to Translocation Psychosis.
-Charlie Robinson, a scientist surrounded by adventurers trying not to lose his relevance.
-Three-Rivers, having stolen the Whiteman’s thunder, has the ability to bend Time, and has decided that it is about SpaceTime to turn the tables on the Whites—as soon as he and his totemic squirrel cop some weed.
-Aristotle, father of logic and science.
-Arlene Higgins, a time-hunter tasked with bringing Aristotle forward before he is murdered in the wake of Alexander’s untimely death in 323 B.C.
-Sebastian de Canete, a 16th Century Franciscan monk working as Arlene’s translator.
-Joan Henderson, CIA, investigating a man that appears to be a genetic weapon.
Behind the Sunset Veil is at once a rollicking science-fiction adventure and a darkly illuminated fantasy that veers between 17th Century messianic conclaves, and the 21st Century Narcostate, to vivid scenes of ancient Hellenic life.
Out of Time by James LaFond
The Sunset Saga Prequel: Flight of The Condor
Little Posie Senski was a ‘special’ boy whose Mom homeschooled him under the supervision of the enigmatic Man in the Gray Suit. One day, after Mom ran away, Posie met Tina, the golden-skinned night-haired woman who seemed to know everything, and was also his new Mother. Since meeting Tina, Posie’s life became one adventure after the other. For, as coincidence would have it, Tina, when not mothering her ‘special’ boy, directed assignments for a military contractor. As a young man Posie up-gunned his name to Pozer to match his physicality, eventually severing ties with the manipulative Tina and striking out on his own. But it seemed that Fate, who, as it turned out, had golden skin and night-black hair, had a way of catching up with Pozer Senski. Out of Time is the stand alone novella that sets the stage for The Sunset Saga.

Beyond the Ember Star by James LaFond
A team of four “time-jumpers” is being deployed 35,000 years into the past, tasked with a dual mission: to retrieve a Neanderthal child from Ice Age Europe, and to splinter Time itself. The four man team is being deployed with a device that will generate an alternate timeline if they manage to alter the course of pre-history, by somehow saving the Neanderthals from total extinction. The leader of this team was specifically engineered for this task. His handlers regard him and his three men as utterly expendable.

Taking her adult name from this singular event Dawn Star sets off with The Family on a journey that will take them to the mouth of the Water Dread. Will her vision save them or will they perish at the hands of the ever-encroaching Others?

In the year 2334, Earth is managed by human fabrication corporations. The few remaining organic humans are the subject of lucrative theme parks, or the targets of repressive measures. This MotherWorld is seen through the eyes of five males: Dwayne, the last feral human to avoid interfacing; Edgar, an urban educator; Scooter, a downgraded tech-boy doomed to starvation and recycling; Tray, a ‘goon’, a technologically augmented urban enforcement agent assigned to suppress trashers, freaks and organic dissidents; and Nimbus Two, a ‘cleaner’ who sterilizes habitation zones on behalf of his parent corporation. This is the future of humanity as envisioned by one of its more darkly shadowed minds.
