Many thanks if you sent in a sci fi series suggestion in response to last week’s bulletin. The shipmate who was looking for a new show to watch now has plenty of great ideas.
Our starship has seen an influx of recruits over the last few days, so if you’re new, welcome aboard! You’ll find the shipmates are a diverse, friendly, welcoming bunch. I hope you enjoy your space voyage into the fictional future of humanity.
I’d also like to say a special welcome and a big thank you to new patron, Frank Menendez. (Patrons receive all my new releases about a month before they go public, and it’s a way for non-Amazon shoppers to get J.J. Green books before they appear at other online bookstores.)
It’s been hard to keep the old nose to the grindstone lately because the UK is enjoying an Indian summer. Last Sunday was beautiful, so I combined a bit of book research with a visit to Wandlebury Hill Fort (see the pic at the bottom of the bulletin. Those are highland cattle under the trees).
What does an iron age hill fort have to do with science fiction, I hear you ask? Ha! You won’t get me to reveal the plot of my next series so easily. But, as I’ve already said, it’s tied in with British mythology. Some scenes are even set in future Wales.
On the subject of the latest series, Review Crew invitations are now open. If you’re interested in joining the crew and receiving free, pre-publication copies of my latest novels, reply to this bulletin with a link to a review you’ve already written on one of my books.

War has come to the Galaxy.
The dark forces of the Neo Hegemony strike, sweeping across the worlds of the Arcadian sector and crushing all in their path.
One system stands against the onslaught, the Kingdom of New Avalon. But the men and women of their expeditionary forces are trapped behind enemy lines on a besieged planet. Losing those troops will lose the war.
Their only hope? A last-ditch rescue mission led by Captain Hal Cutter and his battleship, Achilles. Beset on all sides by lethal enemy warships, he must lead a rag-tag fleet of naval and civilian vessels across Hegemony-held space to save the beleaguered Kingdom soldiers.
All will play their part in this desperate struggle for survival against impossible odds.

Publishing News
I’ve confirmed dates for a final proofread of the new series with a lovely shipmate who helps me out. Eeek! Better think of a title pretty darn quick. Titles are the second hardest task of book writing. The absolute hardest is writing the description. I’ll probably ask for your feedback on that.
The boxset of Star Mage Saga books 1 – 3 comes out in a few days and will go on sale especially for shipmates in the next bulletin.
After ANOTHER round of edits, the Shadows of the Void audio books are creeping towards publication.
Enjoy your books, stay sane, safe and happy!
