Shipmates, it’s time for your weekly Starship JJ Green bulletin!
Lots of news this week. Shadows of the Void Book 9 is nearly finished, and I’m giving it the title Shadow Battle. The book has a great cover, which you decided upon through a readers’ poll.
Mike, the artist has jazzed up the image quite a bit and I’d love to show it to you, but I’m leaving that until next week because I wanted to show you the header to this email instead.
The anthology that includes one of my stories, The Expanding Universe is up for pre-order next week, and I love the cover so much I wanted to include it here. The picture was created by Tom Edwards, a famous scifi cover artist who’s way beyond my budget, so I’m taking this opportunity while I can, haha.
Speaking of covers, I’m on a quest to commission an amazing cover for the first book in my next series, which is to be based upon my story that appears in The Expanding Universe. To do that, I need your help. In return for free short stories, a podcast answering your questions, signed paperbacks, your name in my books and other goodies, I’m seeking your patronage through Patreon.
My goal is to raise $500 to pay for a cover and editing for Space Colony One Book 1, and I’m already part of the way there. You can lend your support for only around $1/month. Find out more here. (Or just watch the video of my cats.)
But what about this week’s books I hear you ask? Well, for a start, feast your eyes on Blake B. Rivers’ new release, The Plague. At only 99 cents, it’s a real bargain.
The Plague
Appearing in the middle of a secret lab isn’t the best way to introduce yourself.
Stuck in the boring cycle of school, work, and sleep, Andi would call her life anything but exciting. That is, until she finds herself pulled into a video game adaptation of her favorite book series.
Now finding herself in an adventure spanning the high-tech galaxy, an insatiable force of blood-thirsty monsters continues to spread their plague, wreaking havoc across every living thing, including Andi’s mind.
Targeted by a mysterious adversary that wants her dead, and a government that wants to study her, Andi must race to find the scientist that summoned her before the clock runs out. With abilities she never thought possible, the redhead finds herself as the last bastion against the coming darkness.

But Blake’s book isn’t the only one on offer this week. You can also take your pick of free science fiction and fantasy books at The Book Cave. Click here to make your selection.
And for Kindle Unlimited readers, Roz Marshall has picked an awesome range of books of all genres. Download your copies from this page.
Unfortunately I haven’t visited any hot springs this week, so I have nothing exotic to show you. Instead, I’ve been visiting the worlds inside my head to bring you the next installment in Shadows of the Void.
Shadow Battle might not be ready in time for next week’s newsletter, but if that’s the case I’ll drop you a short line when it does appear. As always, I’ll set the price at 99 cents for the first 48 hours just for you to thank you for your support.
Happy reading!
