The Evansverse Chronicles are historical adventure novels rooted in ancient Egypt and shaped by legacy, consequence, and found family—where what was buried never stays buried.
The Debut of the Evansverse Chronicles Death Comes on Swift Wings
Death Comes on Swift Wings or as the original inspirations was titled The Secret Tomb of Tutankhamun, didn’t start as a grand plan. It started as a love letter.
Years ago, after devouring the classic adventure novels and films that shaped a generation—especially the world of Indiana Jones—I sat down and asked a simple question:
What kind of story would I tell if I could explore those worlds myself?
At first, it was a single novel inspired by that spirit of discovery: ancient tombs, forgotten civilizations, and the thrill of standing where history almost didn’t survive. But as the story grew, something unexpected happened—the characters began to take on lives of their own.
Steve Evans wasn’t just an adventurer. He became a man shaped by loyalty, loss, and responsibility.
Saundra wasn’t a side character—she became the emotional backbone of the story.
Les, Evie, Bee, Howard—each one emerged not as archetypes, but as people with pasts, scars, humor, and agency.
Over time, the story outgrew its inspiration.
What began as an homage evolved into an original world—new mythology, new stakes, and a deeper focus on family, sacrifice, and legacy. The Evansverse was born not by abandoning its roots, but by building something stronger on top of them.
Today, the Evansverse Chronicles stands as its own historical-adventure saga—one shaped by classic exploration tales, but driven by character, consequence, and the belief that some discoveries change the world… and some change the people who find them.

The Secret Tomb of Tutankhamun: Rise of Aninnah is a historical epic about loss, survival, and the cost of becoming.
In the shadow of a dying dynasty, a young girl watches her world burn—her family erased, her future stolen by powers that bury truth as easily as they bury kings. What survives is not the child she once was, but something forged in hardship, choice, and quiet defiance.
Aninnah’s rise is not clean. It is not easy.
And it is not driven by revenge alone.
Because some legacies aren’t inherited.
They are built—one breaking moment at a time.
Death Comes on Swift Wings is Book II in the series. It is a historical adventure that begins in 1922, when Howard Carter opens the tomb of Tutankhamun and changes history forever. As the discovery draws global attention, the consequences fall not on empires, but on the small group closest to Carter—his brilliant assistant Steve Evans, Steve’s fiercely loyal friend Les Shores, and Carter’s daughter, Saundra. What begins as triumph quickly turns dangerous as ambition, obsession, and buried truths collide in the Valley of the Kings. Bound by loyalty and tested by sacrifice, this found family must confront the cost of discovery when history answers back and demands more than anyone is prepared to give.
Daughter of Aninnah brings the Evansverse to its reckoning as the legacy born in ancient Egypt collides with the modern world. As long-buried truths surface and the cost of past choices comes due, Steve Evans and those closest to him are forced to confront the full weight of what was set in motion generations earlier. At the center stands a woman marked by Aninnah’s legacy—protector, inheritor, and judge—whose existence was meant to remain hidden. As loyalty, love, and sacrifice are tested to their limits, the line between guardian and weapon blurs, and the question is no longer whether the past will be answered, but who will survive the answer.
Synopsis:
In 1928, as the echoes of Egypt’s secrets still haunt him, Steve Evans is drawn into a new and far more treacherous mystery high in the Andes. When rumors surface of a lost pre-Incan site—one whispered about even among seasoned explorers—Steve finds himself crossing paths with the legendary explorer Hiram Bingham, whose discoveries reshaped the world’s understanding of ancient civilizations.
But this is no academic expedition.
What begins as a scholarly pursuit quickly turns deadly as rival treasure hunters, shadowy financiers, and a ruthless local power broker converge on the same prize. The ruins are real—but so are the traps, the betrayals, and the cost of disturbing what was never meant to be found. As the jungle closes in and loyalties fracture, Steve must decide how far he’s willing to go to uncover the truth—and whether some discoveries are worth surviving.
Peril in Peru is a high-altitude race against time, blending real history with heart-pounding fiction, where ancient knowledge, human ambition, and the thin line between legend and nightmare collide.

My Story
There are things you do—and then there are things you wish you had done.
For me, it was writing.
In my mid twenties, after reading Rob MacGregor’s Indiana Jones novels, I sat down and wrote my own story. Over several years, I poured myself into a tale inspired by adventure, mystery, and ancient secrets. Then life did what life does—I focused on providing for my wife and six kids, and the manuscript was boxed up and set aside.
That box stayed closed for thirty-four years.
When I finally opened it again, I faced a hard truth: the story could either remain hidden forever, or I could change it completely. I chose to change it. I reimagined the characters, reshaped the world, and followed the story where it wanted to go.
What emerged was something far more original—and far more personal—than the book I’d written decades earlier. That story became the foundation of the Evansverse: It became a planned series rooted in classic adventure, but driven by legacy, consequence, and the people caught in between.
This is the story I waited a lifetime to finish, but I still wear the Fedora now and again.
