Free Space Colony One book!
Another reason this week has also been full of fond memories is because I finally finished the second part of my Space Colony One series (more on that in Publishing News). To celebrate, I’ve made the first book free for you! This is the follow-on to your free starter prequel, Night of Flames.
Spot the ship’s cat
Final Onslaught is so close to being finished I can hear the starship engines. It’s later than I hoped unfortunately. It turns out that you can’t attend a writers’ conference and get some writing done at the same time. Still, I’m delighted with how the book has turned out. There’s deadly danger, action, shocking surprises and more than a few tears. It’s a fitting conclusion to the Space Colony One trilogy.
Bundle o’ books, for a limited time only
This week’s bargain book is my very own bundle of the first three books in my Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer series. I rarely reduce my bundle prices, but I’m discounting these books for a short time in case you’re unfamiiar with the series and you would like to know more. On Christmas Eve you’ll receive a gift of a collection of Christmas short stories (but you must promise not to read them until Christmas Day).
Space lurgy has struck – please send help!
Another task when I return to the UK is to write the next Carrie Hatchett Christmas story. (If you haven’t downloaded your free copy of the first story you can get it here. I’ve decided to set the story in Canada this time, so if you have any tips about the holiday season in Canada, I’d love to hear about them.
Did you miss this sci fi series?
I must have complained a lot about how cold it is in Cambridge last time I wrote. A kind reader replied to recommend silk long johns (which I will definitely be trying). I'll try to steer clear of weather reports this week. I'm sure there are far colder places than...
Shadows of the Void audio recording
Hello from Cambridge After being the hottest place in the UK since records were kept this year, when temperatures reached 38.7 C on 26th July, Cambridge is now cooling rapidly. Last night the temperature dipped to 1 C, so nearly freezing. After eight years living in...
Some writing secrets
I’ll write the fourth Carrie Hatchett Christmas story soon. The entire collection of stories is to be your Christmas present from me! Even if you haven’t read any Carrie Hatchett books yet, I think you’ll love these light-hearted, seasonal stories.
Thank you!
What an adventure our starship has been on the last few days. Humanity’s Fight came out and zoomed up the rankings as the shipmates downloaded their copies. If you bought or borrowed a copy, thank you! If you missed out, Humanity’s Fight is at its shipmates’ discount for about another day. The link to the book is below.
New release!
This is my favourite type of ship’s bulletin. I’m proud and pleased to announce that Humanity’s Fight is live at Amazon. The epic adventure of Space Colony One continues. What’s more, Humanity’s Fight at your shipmates’ limited time discounted price of 99 cents or 99p!
Reader competition and free books!
One feature that’s proved very popular is reader competitions. See below for the latest competition.
This week’s bargain book is one of my own. Daughter of Discord is book one in my Star Mage Saga, and it’s free for just a couple of days.
Reader competition time!
Another reader competition!
The rules are the same as before. Which character in my books do you think this person reminds me of?
This is a tricky one. You will have to have read closely to know who this is. If no one gets it right I’ll post a clue.
Snippet from Humanity’s Fight
Humanity's Fight is nearly here! To whet your appetite I'm posting the first chapter. Something or someone is arriving at Concordia by unconventional means. But what or who is it? Chapter One The escape capsule was falling. The interior was tiny, accommodating only...
