The Pale Companion

Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments;

Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth:

Turn melancholy forth to funerals;

The pale companion is not for our pomp.

-- A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Scene 1

The Pale Companion, a sequel to The Sounding Stillness, is my most recently published novel. It continues the adventures of my reluctant secret operative, Galen Yeager and his cyborg partner, Sam Houston. Like the previous novel in the series, the cover is by graphic novel cover artist Dave Dorman.

Both Galen and Sam get their moments in the sun in this tale of fraying family ties, deception, and the nature of one's true identity.
