The Bookbinder's Apprentice was published in July 2025 (ebook) and September 2025 (print books) to excellent reviews, both on Amazon and Goodreads. I think, if you like reading stories of romance blended with the paranormal and a soupçon of history added for depth, you might enjoy the book.

Y'know, all I wanted was to retire and live my fucking life quietly and with a minimum of global fuss and not discover that I'd moved to a Nazi-dominated country without ever crossing a border.

Director of personnel morale

I think about that every day with the mantra: I'll scream tomorrow . . . Each day less successfully.

Continuum: Disunion by JJ Robinson II A novel, about 88,000 words Fugitives from a massacre are pursued to an unexplored planet, where they must find a way to stop their conflict or face the extinction of the human species. Image: A "vibe board" for the story Continuum 1: DISUNION, a novel of ~88,000 words by JJ Robinson II. A matrix of murder, treachery, and betrayal on a blue-green field; a volcanic eruption piercing clouds above; a village and its fields along a canal, a frail aircraft over open ocean; a giant extinct pterodactyl; a nuclear explosion. In the center, a small, aerodynamic spacecraft approaches the edge of a terrifying abyss, with the planet's two suns beyond. Image Text: [-A revolution against tyranny is destroyed, hope is lost -An interstellar civilization on the brink of collapse -AI's achieve sentience, with terrible consequences -An ~infinitely corrupt bureaucracy tries to cover up its crimes at any cost -Humanity faces extinction from events on an unknown world -Truth is learned, Redemption found, Love rediscovered]
