Welcome, new folks!

Hi, there. I've had a number of people join the mailing list recently. I want to make sure everybody gets their free Frosthelm book, Traitors Unseen. If you haven't gotten it, you can get it free here (the site will ask you to sign up for this newsletter, which you're already getting) or here from Smashwords. It's also on Apple BooksKobo, and Barnes & Noble. Please, enjoy with my compliments.

Got Trouble is here!

I am so excited to share Got Trouble with you. It's a thriller set in present-day North Carolina, and it's full of action, family drama, humor, and fun characters. I just got the first paperbacks a couple days ago, and I think they look great. Here's one on the railing of my back deck (the artsiest place I could think of).



This book tells the story of Glynnis Cary, a 40ish woman whose life has not really gone how she wanted. She's stuck as a night manager at a gas station, and her husband, Keith, is bumbling and useless. Her son seems to be getting in trouble at school, and she has a whole bunch of dreams that have ended up on hold, most of them permanently. 

Things start to take a turn as she realizes her son might be in more trouble than she thought, and Keith may be up to something either skeezy or illegal or both. She meets a young professor, and within a few days, her life is suddenly upended, with bullets flying and Glynnis and her new friend caught up in something both weird and dangerous, i.e., Trouble, with a capital T.

The book is available in eBook and paperback formats via Amazon here:
 

GOT TROUBLE


I also have paperbacks available if you'd like a signed copy for yourself or a friend - just let me know. If you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, you can read the whole book (and nearly all my others) for free.

I so hope you'll try out this new thriller and spend some time with Glynnis as her life falls completely apart.

Content warning: The book contains some profanity and gun violence, although neither is pervasive.

Other projects

Next up is implementing my edits for Kenai, my new sci-fi story of a former space marine serving as a guard at an alien archeological site on a fringe planet. I've got tons of feedback from my Reader #1, my wife and also from some other friends, and I'm excited to polish the book into something even better.

After that, I'll be finishing up my second thriller (not a sequel to Got Trouble, but also set in North Carolina) and getting it out to my early reader team. I've also been thinking of a new fantasy novel, and I've even written the first little bit of that one to see how it feels. I'd love to have a new book to enter into the SPFBO competition when it starts up again this summer. This new one won't be an Inquisitors' Guild story, but it will likely have the same mix of adventure, mystery, magic, and humor as those books.

Some stories to try

I'm part of several author collectives, and we share each other's work to try to help all of us reach more readers. In many cases, the books we share are are free or discounted. Sometimes, they ask that you sign up for a newsletter like this one.

First up is The Nine by CG Harris, a supernatural thriller where a condemned soul and huckster is summoned out of Hell for a covert op in the real world. It won an indie fiction award in Colorado, and it's highly rated on Amazon. 

Next up is Crazy Foolish Robots by Adeena Mignona, a real-life astrophysicist. This is comedic sci-fi, with a live-wire woman stuck on a planet with goofy robots. It's ranked #10 on Amazon for humorous sci-fi, which is really remarkable. I hope you'll give it a try. It sounds like the same kind of humor that's in my Daros.

Third, I have Fantasy and Forensics by Michael Angel, which is 3,000+ pages of portal fantasy where an LAPD detective ends up in a magical world with crimes to solve. A neat high-concept idea. There are ten books in the series, and this is a huge ten-book "decaology" (which I didn't even know was a word) of the complete series.

Finally, I have Cliff Hock: Infestation Nation by M. Rothmus, a brand-new book released two days ago. It's the second Cliff Hock book about a bounty hunter in the far-distant future who ends up skipping through wormholes and dimensions as he tracks his target.

If any of these sounds up your alley, please have a look and give them a try! There's a ton of great indie fiction out there, and it's all just waiting for you to discover.

Thank you!

I'm so grateful to you for being part of my reader community. I really hope you'll check out Got Trouble - it's one of my favorite books so far (although I fall head over heels in love with each as I write them). If you read it, I'd really appreciate hearing what you think, and especially if you could provide a review on Amazon, GoodReads, or Bookbub, Those reviews mean a lot in helping me reach new readers.

May the Bloodmother watch over you - 
Dave
