I certainly never expected that!

Go to Tabitha's blog post now I got to catch up with old friend and fellow author Tabitha Lord this week on her blog, Five Things. If you don’t know Tabitha, she’s the multiple-award-winning author of the Horizon science fiction trilogy (and steamy romantic suspense under her pen name Maggie Clare). And she is literally the only person I personally know that had the…

Listen on Apple Podcasts (37 min) So this guy reaches out to me, wants to interview me for his podcast, about writing, publishing, the new book, and I find out later: HE’S THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD. I’m not kidding. His name is Steve Shepard, and he’s a professional photographer, audio producer, educator, podcaster (there’s more but I’ll stop). Oh, wait…

Brand-new for 2025! Several centuries from now, on one of eight orbital outposts housing the last of humanity, Theo Hoover is suddenly thrust from mid-level History Repair Technician to “Grand Oversee,” the highest position of all – managing the terraforming of Sunnyside, mankind’s potential new home.

Listen to the new episode “The Grove” now!

As you know, some of these stories are better served if I talk about them after you’ve listened or read them, not before – and this is one of them. What I can tell you is that it’s been kicking around in my head for a couple of years, begging to get finished and out there. It’s the story of Ava, a dreamer. But not the kind of dreamer you might think. So here it is…

P.S. You can also subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, and get your periodic free sci-fi short audio delivered right to your phone/tablet/whatever!

I’ll get right to the point: 89% OFF EVERY BOOK IN MY CATALOG! Yes, I’ve been bitten by the crazy Black Friday/Cyber Monday bug. It’s insane. I realize that now. But knowing that you might get a laugh or two, or shed a tear, or even just sigh a contented sigh, for just 99¢? WORTH IT.

Audible’s got a Black Friday sale going: $5.95/month + $20 credit. So you can get any of my books using your free credit, or $5.95 (Regular price is either a $14.95 credit, or $19.95.) It’s pretty nuts. If you’re into the audiobook thing and haven’t pulled the trigger yet, this is the time to subscribe.
CHECK OUT THE DEAL HERE.

Wow. I’m not even sure what just happened. Did I just give away the whole shop? I think so. You know what? I’m going to un-send this email. UN-SEND. UN-SEND! It’s not working! Oh well. Enjoy the sale, and maybe a laugh or a tear or a contented sigh. And Happy Holidays!
