Clash of Cultures Paperback Now Available (and other updates)

For those of you who really want paper and ink in your hands, the paperback version of Clash of Cultures is now available. It has everything that the ebook has, plus several ounces of paper and ink. (I think it looks quite snazzy, but of course I would.) If you want the digital version as well, you can save a couple dollars by buying both.

Meanwhile Embassy Book 2, Faults of Perception, is getting formatted and should be available later this week. Book 3 (Shards of Loyalty) has jsut returned from my editor and is nicely spruced up from its time away. Look for it mid-December.

Clash of Cultures Now Available

Clash of Cultures, the kickoff novella to my new series is (finally!) available for your reading pleasure.

The Embassy was created to talk to the four-dozen extraterrestrial races that suddenly appeared in Earth orbit. They didn't have much luck, the aliens didn't want to talk. That is until junior ambassador Benjamin Taylor manages to coax one of them down for a dinner date. Things don't go smoothly, though, and pretty soon Benjamin finds out the aliens aren't here for the food.

The initial novella in the Embassy series is a fast paced, fun, adventure, set in the near future. Come along with Benjamin Taylor as he meets weird aliens and finds unexpected peril, for himself and the planet.

At the moment it's only available as an Amazon ebook, but other formats, including paperback, are incoming in the next few weeks. If you're a Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Prime member, you can read it for free. It's also DRM-free, so you can do whatever you want with your ebook once you buy it.

And as always, if you love (or hate) a book, please take a minute to rate or review it on your favorite site. It helps readers find the good stuff and authors find their readers.

Here's a direct link.

Embassy Book Three Off To The Copyeditor

95,859 words later*, the third embassy book is in the hands of my wonderful copyeditor, and cover art is in progress. I'm really happy with how this one came out. We really find out something ver significant about what the Extras are up to, and we meet several new aliens that I'm really happy with. And of course we get to throw our protagonist into new and sometimes awful situations in the name of keeping the planet safe. The finished book will be available in all the usual place around the end of the year.

*Not counting the 45,000+ words I deleted when I decided I was going the wrong direction.

Welcome to The New Web Site

With the impending release of the first three Embassy novels, it's time to make a proper home for them. There are a few features left to add, but it's a good first approximation. It should look decent on most modern devices, if not get in touch.

And there's even some content to go with the new site. More teaser than anything at the moment, but it will give you an idea of what the world of The Embassy is about, and a preview of the cover art. There is a lot more on the way, so be sure to check back.
