April Showers

I almost called this post, April Fools, but I didn't want people to think that the post was a joke.

News:

About a week ago I released Vigilance – First Colony book 7 and it has gotten off to a great start. The audiobook is currently in production, but I don’t have a release date for it yet. I included a rather lengthy author note in this book where I talk about my journey to become an author. I wasn’t sure whether anyone would be interested in hearing about that, but I’ve gotten a nice response from it which was nice.

I’ve begun writing the eighth book in the First Colony series. A tentative release date for this book will be in the middle of June. My goal for the month of April is to make some serious progress with the writing before spring break. I’ll be taking a few days off around the Easter holiday and then doing some traveling. I’ll be meeting with some other SF authors which should be a lot of fun. Then it’s back to work. 

I have a working title for First Colony – Book 8 and it’s called — Fracture

That’s it for this month. Thanks for stopping by.

New Book Release!

I'm excited to share my latest book release.

They’ve spent years exploring this world, but they were living on borrowed time. Only they didn’t know it.

Six months ago, Connor learned what the alien race that populated New Earth feared—a mysterious enemy who nearly brought about the collapse of an entire civilization. To help the colony prepare for this new threat, Connor rejoins the Colonial Defense Force. 

Using alien technology, Connor opens a gateway to another universe hoping to learn more about the threat. Instead, he receives a colonial distress beacon. Six months ago, they’d left people behind on a mission, all presumed dead. The beacon might be them, or it might be a trap, but Connor will not ignore the call for help.

Fearing the beginning of another war, the colonial government would rather do nothing than risk bringing attention to the colony, but it’s already too late. The colony stands upon a crossroads. Its future is uncertain. They’ll have to adapt if they’re to survive. 

Vigilance is the seventh book in the bestselling First Colony series. 

March Madness 2019

This is my first official blog entry. 

Why start a blog after all this time? The reason is quite simple. Why not. 

The only social media platform I’m really active on is Facebook, but I do understand that not everyone is on that particular platform. Therefore, I decided to start this blog as another way to connect with anyone interested in my work.

Expectations…

I plan to update this blog at least once a month. I’ll include the current status of my current projects and what I hope to accomplish that month. 

I am a big proponent of setting goals and working to achieve them. This blog is another way for me to be accountable for the goals I’m working toward. I also have a writer friend who I regularly exchange emails with where we share what we’ve done that day. This has the added bonus of not burdening my wife with a look what I did today aren’t you proud of me. 

So with that, I’ll move on to the next part of this entry which is my status update.

Status…

Vigilance – First Colony book 7 is currently going through the final editing and revision stages. I anticipate that this book will be released before the end of March. 

Vigilance – First Colony book 7 will be made into an audiobook, but production does not begin on that until the book is actually published. Typically this process has taken 2 to 3 months, and it also depends on the narrator’s schedule. Scott Aiello is the narrator for the First Colony series and has done an excellent job.

I look forward to what he’ll do with Vigilance.

I’m currently working on the 8th book in the First Colony series, and I plan to begin writing it by the end of this month. Probably before that but sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of a cushion.

So there you have it. I plan for my blog entries to be short and sweet… Well short anyway.

That’s it for now. If you have any questions or comments, please put them in below or send me an email.
