Tobias' Books
Long ago the old-fathers came to Nanagada through a worms hole in the sky, looking for a new world to call their own. But that was many generations ago, and what was once known has long been lost. Steamboats and gas-filled blimps now traverse the planet, where people once looked up to see great silver cities in the sky. [Mysterious Galaxy - signed]
Descended from the islanders of lost Earth, the Ragamuffins are pirates and smugglers, plying the lonely spaceways around a dead wormhole. For years, the Satraps have tolerated the Raga, but no longer. Now they have embarked on a campaign of extermination, determined to wipe out humanity once and for all. [Mysterious Galaxy - signed]
Chilo: a planet with corrosive rain, crushing pressure, and deadly heat. Timas lives in one of the domed cities 100,000 feet above the surface where the temperature and pressure is normal. But to make a living Timas is lowered to the surface in an armored suit to scavenge what he can. [Mysterious Galaxy - signed]
My short story collection gathers most of the stories from various magazines and anthologies together for the first time in a beautiful, signed, limited edition print run from Wyrm Publishing. [Wyrm Publishing]
A novel set in the hit video game universe of Halo: Jacob Keyes joins the bridge crew of a new ship on a dangerous mission behind Covenant lines, where humans continue to survive in the ruins, and even collaborate with members of the Covenant. But time is running out, and Keyes will have to make tough decisions about what it means to follow orders.

I’ve decided to switch new pieces of Just A Draft to Mondays, rather than Fridays. It will continue coming out on Mondays now. Makes more sense. The new bit that went up is That First Sale Pt 1. It’s more biography-y than previous chapters, but sets the ground for explaining what I learn about writing [...]
