Ripples
A collection of verse
From quiet contemplation to flagrant absurdism, Matthew Broyles presents a chapbook for our time. Readers jostle elbows at the nerd lunchtable with local bands and outcasts, asking the old question: Is that all there is?
Shrael
a novel
Beyond the borders of the overworld lies the dream. Islands of strange fancy floating atop the formless nether, and connected by the glittering Ria. At the remotest reaches of this realm, a legendary but reluctant killer's attempted exile is thrown into chaos by the arrival of a naive yet powerful refugee from the overworld. To save her from the fate he suffered leagues ago, he must seek out sanctuary in places he never thought to revisit, and confront a force more terrifying than he ever imagined.

Threnody
a novel
At the edge of the galactic disc, shadows gather. A spectral threat seen only by the Xaji, a race whose consciousness straddles the overworld and the dream. But the Xaji are far from united, their enigmatic founder lost somewhere in the celestial winds. Into the breach steps Threnody, the youngest of the species, who has as much to learn about himself and his kind as he does about the swarm bearing down upon this island of light in a dark cosmos. To defeat the enemy, he must descend into the murky past, learning truths which threaten to shake his foundations, and perhaps those of the galaxy. In the space between realms, the ghosts of eons past hold crucial answers. But they may not be the answers he wants to hear.

Rewired
a novel
Total Psychology: the exact science of opinion and behavior molding. The promise of complete economic and political predictability, delivered by the Lifecast, direct-to-cortex.
But from an audacious team of scientists, a deterrent arises: Rewiring, a detour in neural pathways to evade the Lifecast and its corporate masters. Outnumbered, a handful of Rewired enclaves survive, scattered amidst the global Wired civilization. And in these rebel strongholds, a mystery unfolds…the Vorn. Strange creatures visible only to a very few. The seers.
Now fear and curiosity vie for supremacy as the architects of the Rewired Diaspora stir once again under a cloud of secrecy.
Something moves in the darkness. And Harry, hapless son of a sociopathic war hero, embarks on a quest to find it.
Whether he wants to or not.
