Latest Email and a Sneak Peek!

Before I forget…because I always do…here is the link to my latest newsletter: http://eepurl.com/PBVcL. Glad to get that out of the way.

Wool Gathering is doing well with fans of the various series’ written by me or the other eight great authors who provided stories. Not too many reviews yet, but the ones we have are excellent! That’s always good news. Since we did this for charity, I’m happy to report that so far, we’ve earned over $800 for NaNo! That’s a huge deal for us since all of us have a connection to NaNo. Many new writers have made their start with their encouragement and programs. Anyway, that’s big news for us and I’m happy it’s doing well.

Also, for those who may not have noticed, Silo 49: Going Dark is now permanently free on Amazon! And Barnes & Noble, iTunes and Smashwords if you prefer those channels. It took a long time to get that done but I’m super happy to finally have that free first book available for those who might be hesitant to try a new author. I love it when someone puts a first book free, so I figure others might like me doing it too.

My most super exciting news is that Synchronic, Twelve Tales of Time Travel, will be out in about a month! That I’ve been included in this group of authors is still hard to believe. I pinch myself regularly to be sure I’m not dreaming. My story is called Rock or Shell and it’s very different from anything I’ve ever written before. It’s so different that I was terrified to even submit it to the editor, especially since it is the amazing David Gatewood, but he seems to have liked it. The rest test will be all of you, the readers. I’m going to read any emails I get through my fingers after the release.

And finally, because it will take so long to get Lulu 394 ready for release, I’ve decided to work on the next book in my queue while that’s going on. It’s called Strikers and, in case you couldn’t guess, it’s post-apocalyptic and dystopian. I’m having a lot of fun writing it, though it is very hard since I’m not accustomed to that style of writing. It is an adult to new adult crossover, which is different for me. There’s a sneak peek…first draft!…that I’ve put up for people to read and give me feedback on. It’s early in the process so be honest if you decide you hate it. I can take it!
