I just submitted a revised Chapter 24 of The Ship. For some reason, it showed up as a 'New Chapter', so beware of chapter numbering issues on SOL. The chapters are as the document headings state.

I just submitted BEMs to Bookapy's moderators, and it should be available soon.
This one has it all!
An aging, overworked hero; a neglected wife; aliens, 'good guys' who find humanity fascinating (would you believe on FB?), and bad guys who are a cross between a tiger and a velociraptor!
And the couple's adult children, who must confront the bad aliens because they're on their way to raid the solar system.
Chuck Sneyd, main character in the first three NF books, is off to lead a joint force of humans and extraterrestrial Flickers! Their mission? Board a BEM ship while it's underway, and kill off all opposition.
Guns on spaceships? BAAD idea! Chuck has his samurai swords, his soldiers have a bundle of dirty tricks in their bags!
And if you want to know more, well, you're just going to have to read the book!

I just posted the manuscript for Magic to Bookapy's moderators.
This novel concludes the Wizards Series, and is a minor departure from the other books in the series. For one, it features a new character, a young man who's on the run from his past, and for another, there are two young women who find him fascinating. The sex is minimal, and not graphic.
And there's a say-WHAT? ending that will stretch your brain!

NEO, the third book in the New Frontiers Series, has just been posted to the moderators.
I spent 14 hours yesterday, revising it, because once I got started I found I couldn't stop! Yeah, it's that good.
Space, engineering, action, politics, an existential threat, and a hero for the ages! What's not to like?
I think you will, and as with all my books, reviews are appreciated.

Just in time for the weekend!
I just submitted the fifth book in the Wizards Series, Siberian Wizard, to Bookapy's moderators.
This time, the Esper T finds himself trapped in Siberia during the Russian Revolution. The Tsar has been deposed, the Bolsheviks are in control (more or less), but a remnant of the allied armies are there to make sure that the allied Czech Legion can escape.
T finds himself recruited into the US Army, thought to be a man named Tyler who turned up missing, but with his body not recovered.
Much of the background for this story is real, as are many of the major characters. The US Army did indeed have soldiers in Siberia, who remained there while the rest of the WWI AEF was being demobilized. Bandit gangs, who included Cossacks in their numbers, fought White Russians, who fought the Reds, and both fought the Czech Legion. Local peasants survived as best they could.
This disorganized time period looked like just the sort of thing that would challenge my fictional characters!
