Cover Reveal for SPACE 51

Blurb:

Ava Frost has a new mission and a new enemy. To stop the impending alien invasion of Earth, she and her brother Elias must use their special connection to computerized consciousness Ian 2 to infiltrate Space 51, an illegal base in orbit around Saturn’s moon.

The human alien hybrids on Space 51 could play a vital role in defeating a hostile alien race that nearly wiped them all out once…and plans to try again. But can they be trusted? As Ava struggles to figure out if working with the human aliens of Space 51 is enough to stave off the coming invasion, she becomes the target of a malevolent telepath who may be eavesdropping on her every conversation.

Needing to escape the telepath and severe the connection, Ava returns to Earth with Elias and discovers information about a secret sect of humans called MJ-21, which was initially formed on Earth but eventually abandoned it due to political dissention. Their mission is to maintain a presence among the human alien races throughout the galaxy, no matter how many lives it costs. Can Ava and Elias convince MJ-21 to join the fight against the coming invaders and save the billions of people they left behind? Or will past agendas and political ambitions once more leave Earth an easy target?

I'm Getting Closer

I just wanted to give a quick update on Space 51. My edits are complete and I've sent it off to my editor. The blurb is being worked on as well as the cover art. Next step is to work on some marketing and promo to get the word out. Of course, I could always use your help with that.

Once I have everything back, I can focus on a release date. Being that this is indie-pubbed, I can guarantee that it won't be June 2016 like most NY publishers. I'm thinking around mid-January 2016, if not sooner. Blame the holidays for that, though it's not a bad thing.

So here's to hoping this helps to make your Christmas.

It's Another Space 51 Update

I had put Space 51 up for pre-sale (or whatever it's called) on Amazon and other places. The hope was to have it completed by June 2016. It was a personal goal, really.

Well, there's a good chance that goal will be met sooner rather than later. If all goes well, no later than February 2016. Of course, that depends upon things like actually finishing the book, which is closer than you think. There are also things like getting an editor, putting together an exciting blurb, and securing the right cover art. It's not easy, but I want it done right and not haphazardly or half-heartedly. As a reader, you deserve that much from me.

Now the part that sucks is that I don't have anything planned beyond Space 51 and there's a good reason for that. I haven't gotten to the end of it yet. Honestly, there are less than 5,000 words to go, but I need to make sure all of the loose ends are tied up this time. If I push this into a fifth or sixth book, I don't want anything hanging between those books.

All I can say about Space 51 right now is conspiracy theories are afoot...only, they're not longer theories.
