I hope you had a good holiday season or at least a restful one. I'm not sure if it's just getting older or what, but I feel like the holiday's just get busier and busier every year. However, if unlike me you do have plenty of time to read or just want to stuff your eReader with as many books possible to kick of 2024 then you should check out the End-of-Year sale over at Smashwords. Which includes my titles: Float, Night of the Meteor Men, Stars Below, and the Legend of Beacon Swamp.

Over on the YouTube channel I've gotten several new videos up since the last email, but I'm still way behind on posting. The newest review is Demon in White by Christopher Ruocchio, which is the third book in the Sun Eater series. A series I'm currently obsessed with. It's very Dune meets Warhammer 40k, if that's up your alley you should check this series out.

Up next in publishing I've got a couple new horror releases that will be coming up in the first couple weeks of 2024 so make sure to check your inbox if you like creature features and slashers you'll definitely be in for a treat. I'm also working on getting my Military science fiction series back on all platforms. It was a trilogy that originally released in 2016 and actually pre-dates Float as one of my earliest works, but there will be more on that probably at the end of January.

The first new release is a book called Infestation, which I'll write more about in the next email once it releases. If you like the books and movies like the Nest or Mimic you're gonna love it as it's also about people fighting off killer cockroaches.

This emails gotten pretty long but I'll finish it up with some life stuff or what I'm reading slash watching.

Reading: Fulgrim by Graham McNeill (Horus Hersey book 5), The Crimson Campaign by Brian McClellan (The Powder Mage book 2), and Ashes of Man by Christopher Ruocchio (Sun Eater book 5)

Watching: I've kind of tuned out on TV a little not gonna lie maybe that'll change when a new season of Star Trek or Halo comes out. However currently I've been watching the Reacher series on Amazon Prime. I'm not the biggest fan of the books, but I've liked the ones I've read. The show seems to capture the action pulpiness of the books very accurately.

Until next time I hope you have a good, safe NYE and have a happy new year!,
