Book Barbarian

PEOPLE,

There's this website called Book Barbarian that sends out a daily email with heavily discounted SciFi and fantasy books--always super high quality stuff. As an author you can't just submit any old book to them as it's highly curated. Only the cream of the crop stuff from them.

That said (ahem), today they picked up my 99c sale on Chains of Destiny, and also mentioned the fact that if you sign up for my newsletter, you get The Terran Gambit for free. What a nice surprise to wake up to!

You should go check them out! I'm signing up for their newsletter as soon as I finish writing this.

The USS Whatitsname

My spaceship designer, Adam Kopala, has been busy. Here's another one he's made for me that I haven't named yet.

In other news, I'm working on a new military SciFi trilogy. No, I'm not dropping Pax Humana--I just found that I needed to work on something fresh in between episodes, so I decided to start another trilogy to keep my sanity. Book 4 of Pax Humana will be finished shortly enough, but first you'll get something a little different. And even more awesome.
