Hi , 

Happy Thursday! If you recently celebrated Independence Day, or Canada Day, or just the first weekend in July, I hope you had a good time.

My family and I did. We went to the swimming pool, then watched the fireworks show at the lake.

With all the excitement of a holiday weekend, you might want a reminder that my latest science fiction short novel, Love and Death in the City of Bone, has been on virtual bookstore shelves around the world for a week.

If you picked up the ebook edition for the launch week discounted price of $0.99, thanks!

If you haven't gotten it yet, there's still time.

But not much.

The price of the ebook will go up to the list price of $3.99 around midnight US Central time tonight. That's only about 8 hours from now.

I don't have another discount planned for a long time. If you're on the fence, why not grab it for $0.99 while you can? Just click one of these links:

The print edition is available at the stores below, or ask your local bookseller for ISBN 9781952220111. No discount, but still only $13.99.

In case you'd like a reminder...

Decades ago, we made our separate ways to the desert planet of Elard. We shared a common purpose: enlighten the planet's low-tech, violent aliens with our different paths of uplift. Though we served different ideals, we became friends... until our friendship dissolved into illicit affairs.

And an unexplained disappearance.

Now, I return to Elard.

Older, yes.

Wiser?

I hope.

I've got only thirty days to solve mysteries buried in the planet's vast desert. And reveal the hidden agenda of the only woman I ever loved.

A woman loyal to violent forces who'll do whatever it takes to stop me from finding the truth.

I hope you're having a great week! Talk to you soon.

Happy reading!
