We have snow. And then a lot of it went away because temps clawed their way back up to the high 30s/low 40s F. Then it snowed again. But the temperature is okay and we’re getting out four or five times a day. As that drops, we’ll go out fewer times with shorter walks because the cold air pummels my lungs. I wear a covering over my face when it gets really cold, but that just causes different problems. Stanley has to just deal with the winters, but he doesn’t really like the extreme cold either. He has not yet had to wear his boots this year, knock on birch wood 🙂 
Stanley has tried sitting and taking in the peace and serenity of the forested snowscape but discovered that he doesn’t like his butt in the snow. He prefers the couch where he can hide under blankets.
  
Keep reading because Leviathan is back in the final installment of the six-book series and Zenophobia returns with Book #4 next week!

Trapped in Ga’ee space, Leviathan runs for its life.
And the lives of its crew.
Declan Payne and Harry Wesson decide to go on the offensive. They have no choice.
They can’t go home. It only delays the inevitable.
The Ga’ee march relentlessly into the space of the seven races while turning an inward eye toward the interloper, the ship they call God1. They direct tens of thousands of Ga’ee carriers to destroy Leviathan.
The silicon-based life forms have to be stopped. Declan Payne comes up with a plan, and no one is sold on it, but it’s the only plan they have. Who has to die for humanity to win?

I wasn’t supposed to survive.The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.
I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.
I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.
But I’m alive.
The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don’t think they’re finished yet.
Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I’m not just fighting for my own life.
I have to protect my family — whatever it takes.
And as long as I’m breathing, this isn’t over.
Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake: They left the wrong man standing.

The Expanding Universe 8I
appreciate the good people who want to read the stories from the first seven volumes. That is awesome! But – a big but’ here – these are only available for three months as an ebook as I only license very limited rights from the authors. I cannot legally publish the ebook version of their stories beyond those three months. The paperbacks are not exclusive, however and are the only way to go for the previous volumes. That being said, I have full control over my short stories so here are thirteen of my short stories in a single download for you to enjoy.
 
Thirteen Craig Martelle Short Stories in a single collection – nearly 100,000 words of thought provoking standalones.
