I hope all is well and that you’re entering a glorious new year!
I have a gift for you from a writer friend who is introducing a new YA sci-fi/fantasy series. Puck Fraser is offering “*be: Book I: Chrysalis” for free for just a few days to help kick it off. Puck has published adult fiction under another name but is electing to keep the books and names separate to see how it goes, as they are quite different genres. I have just downloaded “*be” and am thoroughly intrigued by its beginning, and that from a mystery fan and not necessarily a YA sci-fi/fantasy fan. Until, it appears, now. I love being exposed to new books and writers, and this looks like a good, fun choice. I know Puck’s writing talent, so I’m sure this will be an excellent read. Grab the e-book for free for just a few days!
My own happy news is the impending publication of Book I in my new Peter MacAlister mystery series. I’m just waiting for us to get past the distracting political situation here in the US. Depending on how things play out in that arena this week, I’ll likely push the button on Book I next week. I’ll gladly pass the word when it happens. We have a killer cover and a protagonist and story my beta readers tell me are real winners. It’s set in the ’80s and is written with a noirish tilt. Book II is in the editing phase and is also getting strong beta reader reviews, so very happy about that! I’m eyeing publication later this winter as Book III develops.
I also have a fun project going on with our LGBT SUPERHEROES! series, which I’ll go into more as it progresses. Sales continue nicely, as do ratings of our warm action adventure of farcical fun.
And speaking of ratings, I know Puck and I – and all indie authors – greatly appreciate readers’ ratings and reviews. They help us significantly in getting notice among the millions of books out there. Of course, it all starts with good stories, and we hope we’re entertaining you well. Your comments are always welcome.
While we observe protocols that help ensure we stay safe and healthy, Leigh and I are also enjoying life and believe that our 2021 is going to filled with lots of rewarding adventure. We hope yours is too!
