The Patchwork War
A decentralized American conflict told through the civic functions that cannot stop simply because the country no longer agrees on who is in charge.
The war spreads sideways, through bridges, hospitals, utilities, records, roads, and the people required to keep them alive.
Each Patchwork War novel stands alone. Together, they map a conflict in which authority is local, legitimacy is contested, and infrastructure carries more strategic weight than any flag.
The series begins publicly with Live Load, a St. Louis siege thriller about command under uncertainty, civilian survival, compromised institutions, and a city reduced to a handful of indispensable routes.
Reading order is flexible. Every entry is built to deliver a complete story while revealing another piece of the larger fracture.
