It's alive...almost
Book updates and places you can find them
Happy almost Valentine’s Day! Or more important to me, Seedy Saturday. Though given the rain we’ve had, I think the allotment garden (aka The Farm) will be under water for a while yet.
Writing update
Woot! Book 4 in The Lyra Cycle — A Lonely Ship in a Crowded Sky — should be up for pre-order soon. Watch this spot for the cover; I hope to post it next time.
The rest of this month I’m working on a couple of special project, including edits on a new space archaeology story in the Lyra Cycle universe that might launch a new series. ‘Cause, you know, I don’t have enough to write already I’ll let you know when the short story is up on Armchair Alien.
Books for your TBR shelf
Are you a print book reader or an ebook reader? Or, like me, both?
I’m about 50/50 in regards to whether I read print or ebook. But when I read ebooks, I read them on my Kobo ereader. I support us readers having choice in where get our books … which is why you can’t find my books in Kindle Unlimited. Did you know that most smaller authors can’t have their books in KU and have them available on other stores? Until recently, the author couldn’t even get them into libraries if they’re books were in KU (thankfully they changed that rule).
Which is why I’m going to try to highlight other stores any why you might choose them.
The spotlight today is Google Books. Yes, I know it’s another tech behemoth. But it’s available in over 75 countries, you get notified about deals on books by authors you’re interested in, and you can get deals on books in a series.
Here’s a few sci-fi books you can find on Google Books.
On Impulse by Heather Texle
Molting Queen by Peter J. Foote
The Lost Star Chart by Jeannette Bedard (my Armchair Alien co-conspirator — check out the short stories she’s recently posted)
Perihelion by Tami Veldura
A Dead Ship in the Deep Black by yours truly
Lightwave Nexus Station by AM Scott
The Dark of Light by Audrey Sharpe
Of course, that said, I’m also a big supporter of my local independent bookstores, which is why I’m super excited to announce that you can find my ebooks on Bookshop.org — a portion of your purchase goes towards your chosen bookstore. Except for A Dead Ship in the Deep Black — because it is currently free, it can’t go up. Anyway, support your local bookstores if you can!
Happy reading!
