Report from LibertyCon

Greetings from Chattanooga!

That's me, second from the left on the Four Horsemen Panel, one of a whole bunch in which I was honored to take part. Others included the No $#it There I was panel, the Chris Kennedy Publishing Year ahead, the Salvage Title Universe panel, the Fallen World panel, the JTF-13 Panel, plus a few readings and artist alley spots.

It was a great weekend. It'd take way too long to list everyone I met and saw this weekend. It was a much needed return to one of my favorite conventions. this one isn't like many other conventions in that the ratio of fans to writers is about 1:1- that's not an exaggeration.

I signed novels, hobnobbed, collaborations occurred, and I might have not one, but two super secret amazing projects to announce someday in the future. Standby to Standby, as we used to say in the Air Force.

Standby for my After Action Report, which should be available on my website soon, plus an abbreviated version on my Facebook page.

The biggest news this weekend was the release of a new JTF-13 book! We had a big release party starring Steve Jackson and featuring Hillbilly's legendary mead! An epic party for an epic novel.

With the Great War raging across Europe, Sergeant Jones and his crack team of Special Unit Thirteen Marines are called upon to investigate the strange disappearance of allied aircraft north of France in the mountains of Belgium.

Pilot, Lance Corporal Jackson and his gunner/bombardier, Sous-Lieutenant Marcel Moreau, find themselves deep behind enemy lines, fighting for their lives against an evil and ancient airborne threat in support of Special Unit Thirteen's efforts on the ground.

Can they survive long enough to eliminate the threat, and secure the battlefield from the Kaiser’s massing forces?

Also, new books in the Eldros Legacy!

Lorelle is dying.

She gave half her soul to save Khyven the Unkillable, and its loss is burning her up from the inside. She only has a matter of days to find Usara’s abducted queen before the flames consume her.

But as she searches for the mystic key to bring Rhenn back, she finds only failure…

…until a dark elf arrives in Usara, claiming he possesses what she seeks. All she need do is follow him into the forbidding Great Noktum…

…and bind herself to the Dark.

Fleeing Khyven and her friends, Lorelle embarks on a reckless journey into the heart of a world rife with danger and betrayal.

Will the dark elf actually lead her to the key? Or has Lorelle become a pawn in the secret war for Noksonon?

Finally, a new novel from James Tarr! Military vs Dinosaurs! So much awesomeness in one book!

The Mexican civil war had been grinding on for so long that the U.S. resorted to using private contractors—mercenaries—to prop up the failing Mexican Army. One of the many things the Mexican Army failed to protect was Pangaea, the famed animal park in remote northeast Mexico, a symbol of rampant capitalism. All the creatures inside were killed at the time. At least, that’s what was reported.

For his estranged son Michael’s high school graduation, hotel mogul Roger Rudd splurged on a rare and expensive hunting trip in Mexico, hoping it would bring them closer. To get there, they hitched a ride down on one of the contractors’ helicopters, picking up Tina Echevarria, a beautiful and feisty Mexican graduate student, along the way.

But when the helicopter crashes in the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains, its combat-seasoned contractor crew, led by Irishman Seamus O’Malley, will have to lead the disparate group on a cross-country scramble, trying not only to evade guerilla fighters, but also the prolific and savage offspring of the artificially-created animals once filling Pangaea. Animals thought to be eradicated a generation before, when Pangaea’s walls were breached. Animals called theropods by the park officials… but known to the rest of world as dinosaurs.
