Posted the last two chapters of The Ship to the moderators, so they should be on SOL soon.
I'll post the final two chapters of The Ship Thursday, a fitting end to my SOL career. Most of the others are on Bookapy now, and the ones that aren't will be there as soon as I'm done editing and revising them.
Jacob Jennings, a five book series; Combat Wizard, six books and a short story; Darwin's World, five books; The Ship, seven complete and an eighth that's about half complete; and The Wizard's Apprentice, a stand-alone.
I'm of two minds about posting Angel, the short story in the Wizard's universe, on SOL because it contains spoilers. The other Wizards series books--let's just say that the esters continue to evolve and develop new abilities, some of which are revealed in Angel.
Comments?
So here I am, recovering from lunch and listening to CNN, AKA the Opinion Channel.
Along with oft-repeated commercials from companies too cheap to actually pay for new ones.
One such is the insurance company hawking cheap insurance, using a commercial doubtless filmed when TVs meant round screens with lots of snow.
The commercial? 'Remember the three Ps."
Seriously. Followed by an inexpensive 'actress', who dutifully asks 'What are the three Ps?"
With a line like that, I couldn't resist. Seriously, I couldn't, although it took me a few moments to think of three words that start with 'p'.
Piss, first, as in piss on it, but what else?
I came up with procure and panic. Now all I needed was a scenario that will never be filmed. Trust me, never!
Procure? A plant, of course! But that leaves panic, and a reasonable scene to fill a few seconds of air time.
Perfect! Scene, a hotel room with people milling around. (another p, you realize, and I know you're counting!) Free beer, for those who aren't politicking or PowerPointing. (Zounds!)
Peril! Free pints, remember?
Ah! A plant! In fact, rather a large plant that even Superman would love if he was caught short with no place (!!!) to change. And panic, because just as you're about to...but the couple walks by, without pointing at the lurker (you got that one yourself, right?) And...wait for it...they. pass precipitously, leaving our hero the opportunity to...
Piss in the Potted Palm!
(you'll never again watch that annoying commercial with a straight face!)
Don't thank me. Really.
But if you feel like sending money?
I just submitted the manuscript for MARS to Bookapy.
This novel, the fifth in the New Frontiers Series, deals with a number of issues that have cropped up since Mars was settled by humans.
Earth's Solar Union has demanded that the planet form a government as a condition to admittance as a member nation. And if that wasn't enough, there's the issue of the mammalian Flickers, who are forming triads with human prospectors! Earth's religions are NOT happy!
Want more? How about an apocalypse on the way, which the alien Flickers claim is unstoppable?
All this, and more!
