Finally Making my First Novella Presentable!

Honestly, I resisted doing this for a long time, but I figured that, as I was finishing up the first full-length novel in the series, that it made sense to finally get a real cover for my first novella, The Hyacinth Rescue.

Okay, This Time It's Actually Released! (The Chasm of Color)

Stupid me, I made a post on Monday that said (New Release!) in the title but I ended up looking over my final draft one more time on Tuesday and found a couple more tiny things to change.

Now, finally, The Chasm of Color is out in e-book form!

I'm trying to figure out Amazon's print on demand stuff, so I'll add posts for the paperback and hardcover versions when they come out.

What the Soul Still Fears, Released!

Have you ever jumped because a moth flew at you? At a peculiarly-shaped shadow in the night? Something harmless like that? These reactions are a part of your brain that is a relic of evolution, so ingrained that you need not even think of it--or more so--even if you think of it, sometimes you cannot resist the sheer instinctive force of your ancient reptile brain. 

What if there was something that, instead of terrifying your brain, brought a similar instinctive fear to your soul? Something, perhaps, long banished from this world, that no human has been exposed to for hundreds or even thousands of years. Would you shake? Jump? Scream? If you did, would it be your brain doing those things?

What the Soul Still Fears is now available at your favorite e-book retailers!  This time, I set up a simultaneous release at Smashwords and Amazon.  See?  I'm learning!

Get my homage to Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness just about anywhere you like.

You want it at Amazon?  I got you covered.

You prefer Barnes and Noble?  Get your Nook and hold on for some weird sci-fi.

You're one of those Apple lovers?  Sweet.

You like vanilla Smashwords?  Of course, I've got a link for you.

Odilo?  I'm on it.

Before Death Blossoms released!

 That novella I was working on?  It's a little later than I expected, but it's done and up at Smashwords!  I'm quite satisfied with the result.  It's a longer work using the character Lawrence G. Samson from Old Forests and Older Things Within.  It's very pulpy.  Basically, he's trying to chase down a parasitic plant that uses people to spread its pollen, thorns, and seeds.  It's a bit of action, a bit of sci-fi, and a bit of detective work.  Plus, I had an idea for how to expand that universe and add some more characters, which will help me make more complex and interesting stories in the setting from here on out.

Missed Contact released!

My new novella, Missed Contact, has just released!  It's only on Smashwords right now, but it should be appearing on the other platforms they work with once it's approved.  I'll edit this post and add more links when that happens.

Edit: I've got a full store page for it now!

It's another adventure with the Misevelin Salvage crew from my first novella, The Hyacinth Rescue.  This time, they're looking for a survey team that stopped checking in while they were exploring a newly-discovered planet.  An old coworker from back when Aric was working at his uncle's company, Greg Ralchester, drops by the office to offer them the job.

What follows is an uncertain and tense experience as Aric, Bill, and Lew try to find the crew and get to the bottom of what happened to them.
