Hello Space Cadets, how are you doing today? I’m doing great, doing the punch list of my wife’s ‘Honey Do List,’ and working on Operation Breakout and various other things for boss man to help market The Legion Awakes and Fortress Beta City. I wanted to finish Operation Breakout by Christmas Eve, but it clearly didn’t happen. I’ve moved the deadline for myself to January 31, 2017 and hope that I won’t be cutting that one close. I’ve also fallen in love with next series, which I’ll tentatively call The Odera Chronicles. This series came out of the short story I wrote for the Roswell Anthology that I’ve talked about. It’s currently with my editor, who is doing a quick look-through for me. I know that prolific author Dean Wesley Smith teaches us that the world is waiting with baited breath for the release of the next big thing in military science fiction, the next big pulp author. I hope my novels will fill that niche! To tide you over, as a sort of appetizer to greatness, I wanted to tell you about an opportunity to help other science fiction authors.
One of the up and coming small publishing houses, Space Dock, is seeking dedicated ARC readers. An ARC is an advanced reader copy, and is given out by authors for reviews of their books. These reviews are crucial for visibility, and writers live and die by them. Good, bad or indifferent, just write the dang review! Since Space Dock is out of the UK, they’d likely be sending out eBook copies, but for most of us that isn’t an issue. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, click here.
Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!

When I first started blogging, since EVERY author has to have a platform, I wanted to brand myself. I wasn’t quite sure how, but I figured a unique intro and exit statement would fit the bill nicely. I came up with the intro “Hello Space Cadets” after seeing a list of titles by Heinlein. I want to make it through his works someday and thought it would be a fitting nod to the genre I write in. I added the “powder dry” statement as a testament to my training as a military historian and my own time in uniform.

Not your target here, but if any romance authors need an advance reader, I could help them out!
