One ship against many in a battle that has lasted a thousand years…
Greetings from the Sub-Arctic!
Stanley’s first big snowstorm. He wasn’t sure what to make of it, but once he got into it, he was a big fan. He loves the snow. But it’s getting deeper, almost too deep for his short legs.
I have to say that I thought a month on the road eating at hotels and whatever I wanted would do me in, but in less than a week, I was back to 190.0 pounds. When I left, I was at 188.8. I still need to continue detoxing, not the sugar, but the fried foods. A lot of good tasting stuff out there that doesn’t need sugar.
Keeping it light today but scroll all the way. I have another picture of Stanley at the end.

Battleship: Leviathan comes out tonight!
Pick it up right now for 99 cents and have it waiting for you when you get up in the morning.
A derelict warship, ancient but still alive. A small team of humans fighting for all humanity.
Built for a time when the races were just finding their way to the stars, finding that they could dominate others. The galactic conquests created the arms race and the ancients, the Progenitors had to protect their own. They built a ship to drive the others away.
It worked. And it didn’t. The Progenitors abandoned the galaxy to the newcomers, leaving relics behind as monuments to their failure.
Humanity spread to the stars and ran headlong into the established races. A new war begins, and no one conducts war better than humanity except for the Blaze Collective.
The two go head-to-head while humanity frantically searches for something to give them an advantage. Ancient technology. The derelicts scattered across the galaxy. Gutted and useless.
Except for one, hidden in plain sight, close to Earth. Major Declan Payne takes his team aboard to find that the ship is no derelict, and it needs him as much as humanity needs it.
Battleship: Leviathan. A Doomsday Weapon whose only goal is peace.
You should probably buy the whole series while you’re on Amazon…

End Days #5, Beyond Alpha coming Oct 11 – fans of End Days, you wanted more, you’re getting more. The rest of the story is coming. Back from the editor, back from the proofreaders. All is well. They really liked it. And E.E. tells me that he has the plot for book six ready…
Not Enough Book #1, Echo Breaker, a coming of age fantasy. This balances well for readers of all ages, but especially for those who are growing up and wondering what their place is. A little something for every reader. Books #1 and #2 are written and off to the editor. Here are the final covers for the series. I’m 58 years old, and I thought this was a great story (I’m sure I”m biased but a good story is a good story).
Echo Breaker – October 18th (https://geni.us/NotEnough1)
Echo Chaser – November 2nd (https://geni.us/NotEnough2)
Echo Ender – December 13th (pre-order not quite ready)

Zenophobia – the trilogy. Anthropomorphic space opera: Think Island of Dr. Moreau in space without the horror, just a search for truth. Coming October 25…
Glory – An epic military science fiction tale. We’re at 100k words and winding down with an earth-shaking climactic battle in Book #1. Glory will publish this year. Books #2 and #3 will push to next year, but did I tell you that it’s epic? One old ship, in mothballs, little better than scrap, challenged with nothing less than defeating a technologically superior alien enemy. But it carries a secret the aliens don’t know and may not be ready for. Drake has one shot to save humanity.
Coming November 22nd
I have a short story in a Baen anthology called No Time for Knights coming this fall – a little Sci-Fi Noir. A washed-up cop in an America taken over by AI.
After you’ve read this far… I have started writing JJE14 – Jack the Ripper.
Rivka will match wits with one attempting to bring back the terror of the infamous killer from the 1800s. I’m looking to finish this one by the end of October to publish in December to coincide with the release of Rivka’s third box set with books 9-12.
