Debut Novel – Coming in 2025!

Milo thought being chosen by a prophet would make him a hero. Instead, it’s turned his older brothers’ jealousy into hatred. If he can stick it out one more season, he’ll leave the pasture behind to study music on Ahino Station.

But when war visits his homeworld and tears his family apart, Milo is summoned to appear before the capricious King Gera. At Hilltop Palace, Milo finds unlikely friends, a royal crush, and more dangers than he bargained for.

The forces that besiege Hilltop boast a deadly champion, and glory awaits anyone with enough courage and faith to answer his challenge and survive.

Ancient History & Spaceships

Not by Sword is a space opera adaptation of the story of King David. You may recognize familiar characters and events, but you’ll also be surprised at the wild twists and turns of the biblical narrative and how they play out in space. If you’ve ever read the Bible and thought, “You know what this needs? Spaceships and aliens!” then Not by Sword might be your next favorite novel.

“Not by Sword is everything I could want in a science fiction novel. As I read, I found myself wanting to know each character more and keep exploring A. E. Henry’s world. I’m already craving more of Milo’s story!”
