New Audiobook and A Status Checkin

Posted on by Ken 4 Comments

Last month Acheron Salvation was released. I spent the rest of April planning Book 12 in the First Colony series. I like how the story is shaping up. 

Acheron Salvation is now available as an Audiobook. Phil Thron continues to deliver an outstanding performance in narrating these books. I couldn’t be more pleased. You can listen to the sample via the link below.

Quinton Aldren thought he could leave his past behind him . . . He was wrong.

First came the development of a Personality Matrix Construct—PMC, transferring human consciousness into a machine. It changed the galaxy and the way wars were fought. Then something went wrong with PMCs and the Federation Wars toppled the galactic order. PMCs became a menace to be hunted and exterminated.

Quinton Aldren is a PMC. His consciousness was uploaded and stored over a century ago, before the Federation Wars. All Quinton wants is to leave his past behind, but the broadcasts keep occurring. More PMCs are coming online, and not all of them are entirely stable. Federation War machines are on the hunt for them, and they don’t care who gets in their way.

What's Next?

I'm nearly finished with planning First Colony Book 12, and I expect to begin writing it next week. Book 12 will take place several years after the events that transpired in the previous book. I don’t have a title for the book yet. Soon. Assuming no major life challenges, I plan to have Book 12 available in Mid-July. The audiobook will be out a few months after that. I'm looking forward to writing it. We'll see some older characters return and some new ones. I think you'll enjoy it.

Future Books – I’ll begin working on the Book 3 in the Federation Chronicles in August. If you've read Acheron Salvation (Book 2) there were several big reveals that I'm eager to explore in the 3rd book.

As always, thank you for reading my work.

Two New Book Releases

This month I have both a new book release and an audiobook release.

Acheron Salvation – Federation Chronicles Book 2 is now available.

Quinton Aldren thought he could leave his past behind him . . . He was wrong.

Then something went wrong with PMCs and the Federation Wars toppled the galactic order. PMCs became a menace to be hunted and exterminated.

Long after the Federation Wars, the galaxy limps on. Spacers carve out an existence upon the bones of the old worlds, but things are about to change . . . something has begun broadcasting signals to reactivate PMCs that were stored in secret.

Invasion First Colony Book 11 is now available as an Audiobook!

For years, Connor and others in the colony have unraveled the mysteries of New Earth and the global catastrophes that nearly destroyed its previous inhabitants. Their work led to the discovery of other worlds beyond the known universe.

It became clear that many of those worlds had been attacked by an interdimensional invader that left untold amounts of manipulation, hardship, and annihilation in its wake. It’s only a matter of time before the colony becomes the next target.

When a trusted ally requests Connor’s help to investigate claims of new widespread invasions, he has no choice but to help. Connor believes that the only way to stop the invader is to find their homeworld, but its location is a closely guarded secret. Many civilizations sought to discover the invader’s homeworld and none have succeeded.

Time is running out for the colony, and Connor and a team of CDF soldiers may be the only thing that stands between and annihilation.

As always, thank you for reading and listening to my work.

It’s Already April!

Posted on by Ken

Both February and March slipped by without me posting anything. This happens when I’m nose-deep writing a book. I pulled back from social media and just kept working. I find that taking a break from the internet is necessary for me from time to time. It’s like fasting, but from information overload. I highly recommend it. I have a few updates, though.

I finished writing Acheron Salvation – Federation Chronicles book 2 and I’m really pleased with the book. It was a lot of fun to write and get to spend time with these characters again. Feedback on the story has been great. Check this out.

Acheron Salvation will be released on April 9th. The audiobook will be available in May, so not that long of a wait. I can’t wait to work on the 3rd book in the series, which I plan to write later this year.

Pre-order Acheron Salvation!

More Updates

Audiobook update for Invasion – First Colony Book 11. Scott Aiello is recording it now and it should be available in early May. There was a delay with Scott’s schedule, which pushed back the release date for the audiobook.

What's Next?

I’m starting work on First Colony Book 12. I plan my books out before I start writing them so I’m in the early stages of this project. I’m aiming to release this book by mid-July.

Enjoy the spring and hopefully get some fresh air. Thanks for reading.

Two Audiobook Releases

Posted on by Ken

Two audiobook releases this month. Somehow the stars have aligned and I happen to have two audiobooks drop within a few days of each other. 

Audiobook #1

Acheron Inheritance – Federation Chronicles Book 1 is now available as an audiobook. The book is narrated by the talented Phil Thron, whose credits include other best selling science fiction audiobooks. I’ve already got to listen to the entire book, and Phil does an amazing job. Phil has a fantastic voice.

Included in the audiobook is the bonus novella Acheron Rising, all for the same price.

For those of you who haven’t heard about the new series. Acheron Inheritance is a new science fiction series set thousands of years into the future.

On a dying world along the galactic fringe, Quinton Aldren awakens in the body of an archaic android that’s barely operational. He has only vague memories of who he was and no idea what has happened. Everyone is gone and autonomous mechs are hunting for him.

The galaxy has changed, forcing people to adapt, while dangerous machines of the Federation Wars patrol galactic sectors hunting for people like Quinton. He might have missed the war, but his link to the past could be the key to save humanity’s future. Will he survive long enough to discover it in time?

Acheron Rising – Prequel Novella

Lt. Commander Elias Browning's military career was over, or so he thought.

When a secret research colony is discovered by a ruthless enemy, Elias must take command of a small battlegroup.

Outclassed and outgunned, Elias must find a way to stop a superior enemy fleet from enslaving his people, but how can he succeed where every other star union in the galaxy has failed?

Audiobook #2 & Boxset Sale!

I'm excited to announce the audiobook release for the Ascension Series Boxset Books 1 – 3. This boxset includes the first three books in the Ascension Series – Star Shroud, Star Divide, and Star Alliance.

You can get three audiobooks for only one credit. To celebrate the new audiobook release, I've also discounted the ebook boxset to $0.99 cents worldwide! 

The Ascension series was first released in 2016. It's a story about humanity's first alien contact. One of the main inspirations for the series was the New Horizons spacecraft, which gave us a close-up look at Pluto. Those pictures are amazing, and they got the creative wheels spinning in my head. What if we found something on Pluto? Why would aliens be watching us? What if they needed our help?

The Ascension series was a lot of fun to write, and to hear the talented Jeff Hays bring the characters to life was great. I hope you consider listening to the audiobook.

Zack is good at finding things, but when he discovers a global conspiracy, life as he knows it is over. Sometimes the truth doesn’t set you free. It traps you instead.

Kept secret for 60 years, the discovery of an alien signal forces an unlikely team to investigate a mysterious structure discovered in the farthest reaches of the solar system.

Join the crew of the Athena, Earth’s most advanced spaceship on the ultimate journey beyond our wildest imagining.

I'm excited to share my latest book release. Acheron Inheritance – Federation Chronicles Book 1.

First, the Federation Wars toppled the galactic order.

On a dying world along the galactic fringe, Quinton Aldren awakens in the body of an archaic android that’s barely operational. He has only vague memories of who he was and no idea what has happened. Everyone is gone and autonomous mechs are hunting for him.

He might have missed the war, but his link to the past could be the key to save humanity’s future. Will he survive long enough to discover it in time?

Please note that the audiobook is forthcoming and is expected to be released in early November 2020.
