SCORPIO release day

Today is the official release day for SCORPIO, first book in the Frontlines spin-off, Frontlines: Evolution.

A bunch of you will have read it already because it was one of the Amazon First Reads selections for December, free to download for anyone with a Prime subscription. A few of you may have gotten your hands on an eARC via Netgalley, or a printed ARC from me or the publisher. If you did, good for you, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s now officially available for purchase in Kindle, paperback, and audio formats. The Audible version is read by Arielle DeLisle, who did a fabulous job voicing Alex and giving this new chapter in the Frontlines universe its own character.

Incidentally, today is January 1, which means I’ll be starting the draft for CORVUS, the follow-up to SCORPIO. I’ll be turning this draft in on March 31, for a planned release in January of 2025. As with SCORPIO, you can track my progress via the handy meter in the sidebar.

I’ve not been able to finish the Frontlines novella I was working on in between books because it hasn’t quite come together the way I wanted, so it’ll have to simmer a little bit longer. My plan is to finish it while I am writing CORVUS. Because my progress meter only has space for one bar, I’ve switched it to the word count for CORVUS because that’s the main project right now, but I am aiming to have the Halley novella out roughly around the same time as the draft, by the end of March.

I hope you all had a good slide into the new year, as they say back in the old home country.

SCORPIO giveaway at long last

 

For a multitude of reasons, I wasn’t able to do my customary early giveaway for new release books until now. SCORPIO will be officially released on Monday, January 1st, so this won’t be an early look at the novel for anyone who gets a copy, but they’ll be signed and they’re ABSOLUTELY FREE to winners, so there’s that. If you want to snag a signed (and personalized upon request) copy of SCORPIO to put on your bookshelf next to all the other novels of mine you undoubtedly own, here’s your chance at last!

The rules are simple as always. Leave a comment on this post, and I’ll let the random number gods pick the winners from the comment pool next Saturday, January 6th, 1200h EST. I will ship the novels to the winners free of charge to anywhere in the world. This time, I’ll give away 12 copies. In the past, the entries have been in the 150-200 range, so 12 random picks constitute a 5% or better chance to win, which is way better than a lottery ticket.

Comments are open. One entry per reader, please, and be sure to register your comment with a valid email address because that’s how I’ll notify the winners.

Ready? GO.

SCORPIO on Amazon First Reads

It’s December 1st, which means I can share the reason why the official release date for SCORPIO was moved back a month and a half:

SCORPIO is an Amazon First Reads selection for the month of December. If you’re a Prime member, you can download one of the month’s First Reads offerings for free, so here’s your chance to grab a copy for your Kindelmaschine and get to read SCORPIO a month before its official release.

If you’re not a Prime member, you can buy the Kindle book at a discounted price of $1.99.

Amazon First Reads is only available to US-based customers, but you international readers aren’t going to be left out. I’ll do my usual giveaway of signed books this week, and I’ll give priority to international readers this time.

If you end up getting your copy of SCORPIO on Amazon First Reads this month, I hope you enjoy it. And if you leave a review after you’re done, it’ll keep my editor happy, which means they’ll be paying me to write more books, a win-win scenario for everyone.
