FORGED FROM THE STARS Announcement & Cover Reveal

FORGED FROM THE STARS Announcement & Cover Reveal

What is a perfect idea? FORGED FROM THE STARS is a perfect idea. A perfect collaboration, leading to a perfect title, a perfect tagline and a perfect cover. Inside, a perfect selection of galaxy-spanning epic science fiction featuring…not quite perfect heroines. They may have a few flaws here and there—flaws more than made up for with spirit, determination and a generous sprinkling of audaciousness. Damsels in distress, they are not.

FORGED FROM THE STARS is an upcoming collection featuring the first novels in three science fiction series: Ziva Payvan, Spectras Arise and Aurora Rising. STARSHINE, you’ve probably heard of. I'm thrilled to have it included alongside books by two amazing women who are blazing their own trails in the independent publishing world, Dakiti: Ziva Payvan Book One by EJ Fisch and Contract of Defiance: Spectras Arise Book One by Tammy Salyer, plus a groovy foreword from irreverent writer, reviewer and wordsmith S.E. Lehenbauer.

AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE FOR KINDLE ON FEBRUARY 15TH AT A SPECIAL RELEASE PRICE OF $0.99

Sidespace Release Date, Excerpts and More

, , , , , , ,

SIDESPACE (Aurora Renegades Book One) will be released and in your hands on NOVEMBER 9, 2015. Otherwise known as one month from today.

  • As that date draws closer I'll have various fun promotions and the like to announce, including a Goodreads paperback giveaway, a string of teaser quotes, a "behind the scenes" blog post, sales on the Aurora Rising books and a Sidespace-themed makeover of the website and social media pages. To kick things off today, I'm excited to share the back-cover blurb for Sidespace.

Starshine (you remember it, right?) had a very good September - and since you all are on this ride together with me, I thought you might like to hear about it....

  • First off, tremendous thanks to S. E. Lehenbauer at Novel Commentary for her drop-dead fabulous review of Starshine. It's as if she knew tossing in all the Firefly references (including calling Alex a "damn shiny pilot") would have me shedding tears of joy even without saying it "might be the perfect set-in-space science fiction book."

The Art That Inspired The Worlds of Aurora Rising

The Art That Inspired The Worlds of Aurora Rising

We're going to be visiting a lot of new worlds in Aurora Renegades. While we're by no means leaving the planets back home in Aurora behind, now that Aurora Rising is complete I thought I'd share some of the spacescapes and futuristic art* that I drew on for inspiration in imagining the varied colonized worlds visited in Aurora Rising - for your enjoyment and as a 'thank you' to the fantastic artists who help fuel my imagination.

The links go to Deviant Art pages (you don't need an account to view the images on DA), where you can see the pieces in gorgeous high resolution and learn more about their creation. If you particularly enjoy a piece and are a DA member, show your appreciation by favoriting it, following the artist, or even leaving a comment.
