I could have sworn that I had posted here more recently than May 26, but the data doesn't lie, that was the last time.

I have a little surprise for you. I was going to put this novella into an anthology, but that book didn't happen, so I'm giving the novella to you FOR FREE....

There's a TON of new Aeon 14 coming your way in the next few months. My rough estimate is around 10 new short stories, novellas, and full-length novels by October....

Today, at long last, Destiny Rising is out! I'm running a sale for a few days at $0.99. I wasn't planning on doing that at first, and I didn't warn folks not to get it at the pre-order price of $6.99. So, if you want the lower price, I believe you can return it and then re-buy at $0.99....

Whew! What a few weeks. The release of New Canaan was a smashing success, it reached all the way up to number 425 out of all the books on Amazon. So far folks are loving it, giving it an average of 4.8 stars on Amazon, which really warms my heart. Whenever an author releases a new book there's always a day or so of worry that no one will like it--but not the case here!...

Get it today (April 2nd, 2017) for just $0.99!...

Today, book 2 of The Intrepid Saga, A Path in the Darkness, came out on Audible! It's narrated by Khristine Hvam who really nails Tanis and the cast of characters, and gets the subtle by-play between Tanis and Angela. 

Outsystem (book 1) is already out as well. Building Victoria and Destiny Lost are coming May 28th and June 28th respectively.

Outsystem on Audible ($2.99 if you already have the ebook).
A Path in the Darkness on Audbile ($2.99 if you already have the ebook).

Three months after the Intrepid left the Bollam’s World System

<Bob, I need to talk to you.> The request came directly into his mind over a secure connection, one which would not be visible to any AIs on the ship other than the one who had just addressed him.

Back in February, I was contacted by Notch Publishing to do a short interview. I really enjoy introspecting my journey and what got me here, and the interview got me thinking about my early influences. I'm re-publishing the bulk of the interview below, but you can also view the original here. Note: I bought a new copy of Shadow Castle after writing this and read it to my daughter. She loves it....

Snippet #3 of New Canaan is here for you to check out!...
