It’s been a confusing old week here aboard the starship. A few days ago the weather (in orbit, of course) was balmy and beautiful. This was – naturally – followed a couple of days later by…snow!
Spring and an end to the nonsense that’s plagued us for the last year are in sight, however. Scroll to the bottom of the bulletin for photo of a stunning sunrise taken from the back garden.
I know you’d probably rather see a pic of the ship’s cat, but he’s been off gallivanting around the neighbourhood, no doubt getting into all kinds of mischief. I’ll try to get him to pose for a portrait in time for the next bulletin.
A couple of shipmates wrote to point out that the ‘universal links’ in the bulletin aren’t universal when they only point to Amazon. In fact, they link to the stores where the books are available in your country, and due to Amazon’s T&C regarding books enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, many ebooks aren’t available at other stores.
I understand this is frustrating for some readers, and I do try to include at least one book that isn’t sold only at Amazon in each bulletin.
Now that’s cleared up, on to the bargains, including a new bargain boxset of the books I authored with M.D. Cooper.
Featured Books
An enemy thought long dead waits in the shadows.
It’s taken nearly two centuries to reach the New Canaan System. Four beautiful, pristine new worlds await the colonists, but there’s trouble in paradise.
Upon arrival, the colony governor gives Erin a special mission: to build secret shipyards in the outer system, hidden within moons and safe from prying eyes.
Follow Erin’s adventure across all four worlds of New Canaan as she works to build the colony’s future while defending it against its people’s past.

Facing the enemy at the gates
All her life Cariad had one dream: to participate in humanity’s colonization of deep space. After topping her field as a geneticist, and then spending 184 years in cryonic suspension, she’s achieved her goal.
But the new planet is not the paradise the scientists predicted. Alien predators come out at night, ready to feast on the new arrivals. What’s more, saboteurs have stowed away aboard the ship and are determined to destroy the new colony.
To defeat the settlers’ enemies, Cariad must enlist the help of the disgruntled Gens, last in the line of generational colonists who lived and died on the long journey to the stars, and who hate the Woken scientists.
Infighting and strife plague Cariad’s efforts. If the colony’s factions don’t pull together, the flame of hope for humanity will be snuffed out.

Publishing News
Do you like listening to audiobooks? If you do, you’re one of a growing number of people who enjoy their fiction and non-fiction in spoken form. Audiobooks are the biggest growth area in publishing at the moment.
Which makes it stupid of me to forget to tell you that the audiobook of The Valiant finally went live at Amazon. Passing the stringent standards set by ACX, the company that uploads to Audible, was hard, but we got there in the end. (Click on the Kindle link if you want the Amazon version, but it’s also available at several more audiobook vendors, as well as direct via Payhip.)
I hope you enjoyed seeing the new covers for the Star Mage Saga series. Space Colony One covers for the final three books are also on their way, so do check your bulletins over the next few weeks for the reveals. I promise they will be very cool.
Enjoy your new bargain boxset and other books, stay sane, safe, and happy!
