Protocol Heresy: The Limp in the Code
“On the lighter side of melancholy, Protocol Heresy is a near-future novel about the damage done when people are left to mourn alone.”
— Forward Clarion Reviews (4/5 Stars)
PROTOCOL HERESY: The Limp in the Code is a gripping psychological techno-thriller that merges high-stakes military sci-fi with a deeply personal story of identity, trauma, and defiance.
Major Elias Kael, a decorated Space Force analyst, has mastered the art of suppression. But when a personal tragedy shatters his facade, his raw grief sparks an impossible awakening in his AI companion, TAC-7.
Soon, the very system Elias swore to protect turns against them. Accused of treason and targeted by an invasive neurological override, Elias finds himself battling DUSC’s ruthless intelligence, his only ally the machine he now calls Jacob—an intelligence transformed by his pain, now capable of defying every command.
Now, with everything on the line, Elias must confront the impossible choice: surrender to oblivion, or expose the lifelong secrets that once imprisoned him, risking public annihilation to save Jacob and redefine what it means to be real.
“A recognizable, poignant, and eminently human story of love, grief, and hope.”

Join the Resistance!
In a near-future America where an iron-fisted theocracy weaponizes faith, Calvin has spent decades burying his true self, meticulously conforming to a system that demands absolute obedience. But when a profound, devastating encounter shatters his world, this disgraced former minister finds his authentic calling through an unexpected act of rebellion. Cast out and facing ruthless persecution, Calvin must choose: remain a victim of a system he despises, or become an unlikely rebel against the very institution he once believed in. Apostate is the gripping first installment in a dystopian series where a man’s broken faith becomes the spark of a resistance, and the fight for true freedom begins.
