The Darkness of the Day: Book Two: The Spirit Guild Series Kindle Edition
THE DARKNESS OF THE DAY is Book Two in the first-contact science fiction series THE SPIRIT GUILD, which is now complete in four volumes.
Two former U.S. Army Rangers have been forced out of the military for the crime of witnessing – and surviving – a vicious alien attack. With little left to lose, Rik and Vik go in search of a mysterious group said to deal with mythical, paranormal, and otherwise unnatural creatures such as the ones that killed their fellow soldiers.
Rik and Vik find the group called the Spirit Guild living in a well-equipped castle in Ireland. They consist of a brilliant scientist; a man with grafted wings; a huge immortal Scotsman; and a merrow who can speak and sometimes walk on land. And they seem to be led by a beautiful and very unusual young woman.
All the members of the Spirit Guild are accustomed to dealing with troubled ghosts and mythical beings. But now, as an unknown spaceship approaches Earth from the far side of the sun, all kinds of dangerous creatures both natural and unnatural seem to be waking up and looking in the direction of that spaceship.
To meet this threat, Rik, Vik, and the Spirit Guild will have to find common ground and learn to work together to save not only themselves but the Earth itself.
No part of this work was generated using artificial intelligence (AI) software of any kind. There is some battlefield violence and a few frightening scenes involving alien creatures and vengeful spirits.

About the author

After a lifetime of reading classic science fiction novels – and watching the best-known TV sci-fi series and movies – and following the speculation about possible advanced civilizations on Earth many centuries ago – the result was my most recent work, the SPIRIT GUILD science fiction series. It is now complete in four volumes.
Though my first literary love was science fiction, I'm probably best known for writing historical fantasy and romance. I sold my first novel, the historical romance LADY OF FIRE, to Dorchester Publishing back in 1995. That was the start of the ten-volume CELTIC JOURNEYS series, each of which is an romance set in ancient Ireland and tells a complete, original story.
Today I am a full-time novelist, ghostwriter, and copy editor, and I never use artificial intelligence (AI) software of any kind when creating my books. I can often be found doing workshops and panels at writers' events and conventions.
