Special sale!

Published by under T-Space

Book four in the Carson & Roberts T-Space Archeology series, The Centauri Surprise, releases this week. To encourage those who would rather read the series from the beginning, rather than just the recap (“Previously…”), I’ve put the whole series on sale, at 99 cents each (ebook), this week only.

The Centauri Surprise cover

I think followers of this series are really going to like where this is going. Several important events take place, which set up the next few books in the series. The relationship between Hannibal Carson and Jackie Roberts takes a turn, a new talisman turns up, significant advances are made on reverse-engineering alien tech, more of the Kakuloa backstory (which plays out in the Kakuloa series), more run-ins with Velkaryans, we meet again a couple of characters from Alpha Centauri: Sawyer’s World (older, of course), and there’s a brief wargame between Earth’s Space Force and Sawyers World’s Space Guard. And more. One of my beta readers called this my best work yet, but judge for yourself.

Amazon has some restrictions on what we can do here, so Book 1, The Chara Talisman, is “permanently” on sale until the publisher manually raises the price again (at the end of the month). Books 2 and 3 (The Reticuli Deception and The Eridani Convergence) are on a price countdown, 99 cents until Thursday (8/22) night, then 1.99 Friday, 2.99 Saturday (8/24), and back to the original 3.99 Saturday midnight.

First three books, covers.

And I hate asking for favors, but reviews do help, both Amazon’s algorithms and readers looking for new books to read. Please take a moment to leave one. Thanks, and enjoy!

If you posted a legitimate comment here recently, you might want to re-post. I hadn’t checked the spam bucket in a couple of weeks, and found something like 1,127 items in it. I’m not going to wade through all that, so I just flushed them.

Sorry if your post got caught up with all that, although my spam filter is usually pretty good. (Once you’re authorized, your comments won’t have to wait in the moderation queue. But trust me, you really don’t want to see some of the crap that spambots try to post here.)

MALCon is coming, and more

Published by under Conventions,T-Space,Writing

The seventh Denver area Myths & Legends Convention (MALCon) is coming up, August 9-11 at the Radisson Denver-Aurora. I will be on a bunch of panels, mostly on the Saturday (along with autographing sessions) and one Sunday. It should be a lot of fun. If you’re in the area, come on out. I may have a few giveaways at my presentations.

Also, number four in the Carson & Roberts archeology series, The Centauri Surprise is available now for pre-order. Release date is August 20. It turns out Rico is alive, although he’s not sure just where; Carson finally gets to talk to Peter Finley (you may remember him from Alpha Centauri: Sawyer’s World — he’s not dead yet) about “Pete’s Peak”; and Homeworld Security is getting increasingly nervous about the Velkaryans.
