Cover art for COMRADES IN HOPE!

Hey guys, guess what? The cover art for Comrades in Hope (Sons of the Starfarers: Book II) is finished! Here it is:

SSF-II (cover)Pretty sweet, eh? Kalen O’Donnell did this one as well. I just got the final draft back from my editor, so with luck the ebook version should be out this weekend.

I’m definitely excited to publish this book! It was a blast to write and I think you guys are really going to enjoy it. It follows Aaron Deltana as he joins the Outworld Resistance as a drop-ship pilot, boarding and capturing enemy capital ships with a platoon of rebel guerrillas. There’s a bunch of new characters in there too, including an old family friend, and the mystery girl from the first book plays into things as well. Where the first book was more about setting up the characters and the world-building, though, this one dives right into the action, with lots of space battles and desperate firefights. The war for the Outworlds is on!

If you’d like to be notified when this book comes out, feel free to sign up for my email newsletter if you haven’t already. I only send out emails when I have a new book out, so you don’t have to worry about spam or anything like that (unless you think I have new releases too often, lol!). Or you can just keep watching this blog. I’ll be sure to post the links on the sidebar, and I’ll probably do a post about it too.

That’s just about all for now. I’m finishing up the first draft of Strangers in Flight (Sons of the Starfarers: Book III) in the next day or two, so after that I’ll dive into publishing mode and put out Comrades in Hope as soon as I can. Be sure to look out for it!

Cover reveal for BROTHERS IN EXILE!

I just got the cover art for Brothers in Exile (Sons of the Starfarers, Book 1) and it looks pretty sweet–check it out!

SSF-I (cover)The cover designer is Kalen O’Donnell–he’s going to be doing the covers for the rest of the series. The scene here is from the first chapter, where Isaac and Aaron arrive at the derelict station in the Nova Alnilam system.

The book is coming along quite well–I should be ready to publish it before the end of the week! Just have to go through the edits, make a couple of small changes, and format it for publication (but that part doesn’t take too long). With luck, it should be up in time for Memorial Day.

I’m going to try something a little different with this book and launch it at $.99 for the first week, then raise the price up to $2.99 afterwards. That way, I can give my fans a good deal, and hopefully move it up on some of the lists to gain some visibility. That means it will only be available on Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble for the first week, though, since it’s harder to make price changes on the other sites, and Amazon will send you a nasty take-down notice if the book is selling for less on any other site.

That’s just about it. Back to work now–I’ve got a book to publish!
