In his falcon form, he could travel much faster than any horse and attract less notice too. The bird’s keen eyes saw everything below, from the wolves slogging through the marshes, to the poor wretches that tried to live in the blighted lands.

Blog post50 by 50
I started writing in college, but I was thirty-one years old before I finished my first novel (Third Prince/Royal Destiny). It was five years and three books later before I actually saw any kind of profit from my writing. At that time, I had no idea what was really possible for me. I just wanted to write good books. I set what I thought was a really big, audacious goal of writing/publishing 50 books by the time I turned fifty years old.

Most of my stories start with just a nugget of an idea. For Spartan Company, I wondered what it would be like to be hunted. I quickly developed a world with a variety of intelligent species whose culture is built around fighting one another.

Blog postAs you may know, my new book We Are The Wolf is a departure from my usual genre of Fantasy. It's not that I don't have more Fantasy novels to write, and I certainly don't want to disappoint my readers, but at times a story idea captures my imagination and won't let go. The Wolfpack novels (I'm hoping they'll be popular for at least four or five books) are the spice that fires my imagination.

Blog postWriting is my career. As a child growing up I loved books, but never thought I could actually write one. Just the thought of writing an entire book made me feel sick to my stomach. I didn’t write my first story until I was in college. I absolutely fell in love with writing and knew that I wanted to be an author, but it took more than a decade of trying before I finished my first book. Now I regularly write four to five books a year, and I’m increasing that output, writing seventy-five to6 years ago Read more

Titles By Toby Neighbors
The war rages on…
No one is safe…
Hope seems lost…
Former Marine Moss LeFer doesn’t know the meaning of quit. He leads the rag-tag militia against the alien invaders who have nearly destroyed the colony on Bellona Prime. With the communication satellites down, there is no way to call for help. If the colonists hope to survive, they will have to find a way to drive the invaders from their home world themselves.
Hard Site is the exciting conclusion to the Never Surrender series. The LeFer family has grown since settling on Bellona Prime, and they have a lot to fight for. But how much can a few people do? Can they turn the tide on a planet that is as good as lost?

Some people have war in their blood…
Moss LeFer is a Marine in a bad situation. The battle for Elon Station is a lost cause, but he doesn’t know the meaning of surrender. His dream of completing a full term of service with the Western Forces Marine Corps seems as far away as the stars overhead. But if he can survive long enough, he wants to start a new life far away from fighting and conflict. But for some people, war seems to follow them wherever they go.
When things go from bad to worse for his platoon, Moss will take matters into his own hands. He may not get out alive, but he’s determined to take as many enemies out before he’s killed as possible. One Marine, in the fight of his life, could be just what’s needed to turn the tide in a war spanning a galaxy.

But Danger is something that former Marine Moss LeFer knows well.
The deadly aliens known as Sartans have spread through the northern territories on Bellona Prime, a verdant new world with only a fledgling human colony. Moss LeFer leads the hunt for the violent Sartans, but it will not be a battle easily won. Their alien overlords known as the Redessarians won’t give up such a valuable prize easily. And the Western Coalition are slow with their promise to help.

He is desperate to protect his growing family and ensure that they have a future on the new planet.

With human colonies on 45 worlds and space stations in over a hundred different systems, serving with the elite Force Recon branch of the Extra Solar Defense Force is the most prestigious career anyone could hope for. Warfare is almost exclusively the domain of remotely operated drones, but when things go wrong, in space or on a colony world, the Off World Recon gets the call and they always come prepared.
Dean is a young man with plenty of prospects ahead of him, but when he gets selected for the most coveted job in the world, he jumps at the chance. Little does he know the rigors of training to become an elite Force Recon specialist or the dangers waiting for him in off-world tours of duty that sometimes last for years on end, but it’s always been his dream to charge into the unknown with a band of brothers, facing any threat to humanity’s expansion across the galaxy and etching his name into the annals of history. The only question is does he have what it takes to stand between the threats of the galaxy and the rest of the human race?
We Are the Wolf is the first book in an exciting new military space opera that will have you riveted from the very first page.

Staff Sergeant Eli Vanhorn isn’t the man he used to be. Once a proud member of the Fleet Marine Corps’ elite Terrestrial Advance Combat teams, the battle on colony planet Luyten C left him broken and scarred. But after a year of surgeries and physical therapy, he’s ready to complete his enlistment as Master of Arms on the exploration vessel Rihla. It should be a simple, stress free assignment - but things rarely work out as they should.
For decades humanity’s efforts to spread across the galaxy have been hampered by the violent Orrkasi, an intelligent, space faring race of which little is known. But Staff Sergeant Vanhorn is no stranger to the Orrkasi. He’s a veteran with eight combat engagements, a harden warrior, a man who knows how to improvise, adapt, and overcome. But he’s facing challenges he never expected before. His body is crippled and scarred, the TAC Team brotherhood he once thrived in see him as a pariah, and he’s haunted by the horrors of combat. Just getting through his first cruise after returning to active duty won’t be easy.
When the explorer ship Rihla reaches the Leonis system after almost a month in hyperspace, they find a habitable planet with a rich atmosphere, liquid water, and the ideal climate.
