Exiles of Theia, the second chronical of the doomed planet, is now available from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.A new sci-fi project has just been completed. Returning to the world of Theia, which first appeared in Requiem for Theia, the third chronicle is Exodus from Theia. The completed novel is and is in now available from Banes & Noble for Nook readers, or from Amazon for Kindle or paperback!
iSoftwerks presents The Chronicles of Theia by Steve Croy.
Theia is a name from Greek mythology, meaning goddess, one of the twelve Titans. According to mythology, she is the daughter of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky), who gave birth to the gods of the sun (Helios), moon (Selene), and dawn (Eos). If the impact theory is correct, Theia, the protoplanet, may well have indeed given birth to the Moon. A theory, one speculated on for quite some time, is that the planet Theia collided with Gaia, the still forming Earth. The impact was of such magnitude that a large number of fragments of Earth were hurled into space to coalesce as our current moon. The Earth survived, although it still wobbles from the impact and tilts on its axis. Alas, Theia, the mother of the Moon, did not survive the impact. Remnants of the vanished planet may still be present buried deep within the Earth’s crust.

The Chronicles of Theia
Jul 12 2026“We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.” – John Archibald Wheeler.
The Chronicles of Theia are easy to categorize as science fiction, though most of the theoretical physics mentioned in the stories is known to the scientific community. It takes a special intellect, a genius really, to observe phenomena and then describe what observation and experimentation imply using physics. Hawking, Penrose, Einstein, et al. have described concepts in theoretical physics that are far beyond most individuals’ intellectual boundaries. The concepts they developed to explain the nature of our existence inspire ideas beyond our engineering capabilities. Who knows what worlds we may explore that lie just beyond the reach of current scientific limitations? Exploring the Chronicles of Theia requires only imagination and the knowledge that the universe persists in defying our grasp of reality.

The Ressurrection of Caim
Jun 1 2026The Resurrection of Cain is the feature of the month novel. Paperback or Kindle copies are available on Amazon. For Nook readers, a copy of the novel is available on Barnes & Noble.
A young Missouri farmer, Caleb Blackwell, is thrust into a man-made version of hell when he is marched into Camp Sumter, a Confederate prison near Andersonville, Georgia. Brutal conditions, scarce food, medical supplies, water, and shelter test even the strongest. Caleb struggles for survival, morphing into someone far different from the person he was before the war swept him up and deposited him like so much debris into the open-air cesspit called Andersonville. On a merciful day, only thirty men died in Camp Sumter. Under the blistering heat of the summer sun, nearly a hundred men a day lost the desperate struggle to stay alive. Stubborn as a Missouri mule, Caleb scratches, claws, and clings to life in spite of the conditions he’s forced to endure. Despised and shunned for killing a fellow inmate, he is called Cain, the man who killed his brother in arms.

Ritual Prayer
May 2 2026Ritual Prayer is the feature of the month novel. Paperback or Kindle copies are available on Amazon. For Nook readers, a copy of the novel is available on Barnes & Noble.
"The jaguar would be pleased, he was sure. The altar was a simple affair. Stakes were driven into the ground on either side to bind the sacrifice securely for the ritual taking of the heart. Blood dripped down his arm as he held the quivering organ to the moon above. The skulls, pierced and mounted on the tzompantli, should have been better prepared. However, when Tonatiuh, the Fifth Sun, rose to journey across the sky, the crows would clean the remaining flesh and blood, leaving the bones gleaming white. Tezcatlipoca had honored him and given him the stealth of the jaguar. The ixiptla could not resist the power of a god." -- Ritual Prayer, a Western by Steve Croy.

Author Fest 2026
Apr 1 2026Author Fest, March 28th was a good experience. Sponsored by the Dalton-Whitfield County Public Library, it is a gathering of local authors in Dalton, Georgia. The event featured something for everyone's taste. Fiction and non-fiction authors attended, with illustrated children's books. Panel readings from author's works were held throughout the event, moderated by attending authors. There were poetry readings, and storytime sessions for children's books.
Thanks are due to the Director, Brandy Wyatt, for hosting the gathering. The library is undergoing an expansion, and already there are plans for next years event. I am hoping to see my fellow authors back again.
