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.

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.
