Code-X

2017

Wield the code, or die by it. Hacking is a way of life for Angie Roman. Small-time cybercrime lets her skim just enough dollars off the web to carve out a modest, if isolated, corner of existence. Angie has coffee, computers - everything she needs. But evil haunts the cyber highway, and Angie is its target. When dark hackers break into her computer, Angie is forced to engage in cybercrimes that go way beyond her usual petty thefts. The kind of crimes that could land her in jail for a long time. The kind of crimes that could get someone killed. And when Angie decides she wants out, the real monsters come to play. The kinds of beasts that shred flesh in the night. Only an old street vagabond and the mysterious 'Alby' can aid Angie in uncovering the mystic tangle of the cyber highway. And only by learning a unique and dangerous magic can Angie begin to fight back. The magic of code-x. Addictively fast-paced and tense, Code-X is a supernatural cyber thriller that will leave you enthralled by the unimaginable darkness of cyberspace. Galefire is an adult urban fantasy series that will appeal to lovers of the occult, horror, supernatural forces, cyber thrillers, demons, angels, vampires, paranormal romance, and, of course, fire.

He has the 8th Street Gang heading down a path of dangerous self-destruction that will get them all killed if they don’t find some focus.

Head of Turu Corp and now poised to win the most powerful political office in the world, Azarah will stop at nothing to see Earth’s citizens grovel at her feet. She’s been planning this for years, gathering her forces around her and dividing her foes. The forces of good can no longer grudgingly take sides. They must throw themselves wholly together as unconventional allies to fight an unconventional war. A war of witchcraft, monsters, and firepower. They must become a single fighting force. They meet in a remote forest in the Kentucky hills where the battle lines are drawn and unlikely alliances are made. Lonnie must win back his confidence if he’s going to lead Hell’s outcasts. Torri Dowe must rekindle her stagnant power. Bess Winters must unite them all with her holy kill team. They must attack Azarah on two fronts. On Earth, and in Hell! ​ If you enjoy urban and dark fantasy, paranormal and horror, with brooding, broken characters and fast paced action, you will LOVE Galefire!

Welcome to my little space out on the web. I'm Kenny Soward, and I'm an author, musician, and once IT guy. I write books in many sub-genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy, including post-apocalyptic, military science fiction, epic fantasy, and horror. I'm influenced by authors such as Stephen King, George R. R. Martin, Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling, Mark Lawrence, Dan Simmons, Robin Hobb, Robert McCammon, Larry Correia, and Mike Kraus. I love all kinds of movies and shows from Battle Star Galactica (reboot) to the Walking Dead. There's nothing I won't try. I grew up in Kentucky in a small suburb just south of Cincinnati, Ohio, listening to hard rock and playing outdoors. In those quiet 1970's streets, I jumped bikes, played Nerf football, and came away with many scars. My grandfather and many of my uncles and cousins served in the United States Military, and my father was a Kentucky State Trooper. Their efforts taught me the meaning of sacrifice and gratitude. I've always had an avid curiosity about the world around me, and I hope my enthusiasm for life carries over into my stories, even the dark ones.
