Duke has been fascinated with speculative fiction since he watched Star Wars in its original screening back in 1977. That interest led him to Narnia, Dungeons and Dragons, and comic books, starting with the New Mutants and moving on to the X-Men and Teen Titans. While he dreamed of being an author from a young age, time and again, he wasn’t satisfied enough with his work to try and publish it until he finished his 8-novel opus, Becoming Vanguard, a story inspired by those comic books he loved as a kid. In the meantime, he got degrees in Chemical Engineering and English Literature, starred in a not-terrible B-movie (Sleepless Nights. The one about vampires), and moved to New York City. He has a wonderful wife, a great son, and two cats.
For more than 15 years, I have dedicated myself to creating stories that resonate with readers of all ages.
I’ve been fortunate to write 8 novels that have found their way into the hearts of readers around the world.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of writing 8 novels that have captivated and inspired readers.
From the first page, Duke's sequel to Noel captivated me. The Orphan Vow introduces a world filled with complexity, and by the time I reached The Space Below, I was completely invested in Vanguard's journey. This series perfectly balances the challenges of growing up, learning to lead, and battling evil. Highly recommend to anyone who loves superhero stories with depth!
I couldn’t put this series down! The Baseline Threat and The Goddess of Sleep kept me at the edge of my seat. The twists and turns are well-crafted, and Duke does a phenomenal job of showing how power comes at a high cost. The emotional depth makes Vanguard's journey so much more compelling.
Every part of this 8-part series offers something unique. The One-Eyed Queen was my personal favorite. The character development and complex relationships make you feel like you’re truly part of Vanguard's team. Duke has a talent for blending superhero action with deep emotional growth.
