As usual, please be kind and speak your mind on the reviewing platforms if you check out the books! Seriously, GoodReads and Amazon have spaces where you can shout your thoughts to the world!

WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW: Paco Chierici

On By J.R. HandleyIn WritingLeave a comment

JR HandleyHello Space Cadets! Today, I wanted to introduce you to another author from my WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW SERIES. Francesco “Paco” Chierici is the author of Lions of the Sky. During his active duty career in the US Navy, Chierici flew A-6E Intruders and F-14A Tomcats, deployed to conflict zones from Somalia to Iraq and was stationed aboard carriers including the USS Ranger, Nimitz, and Kitty Hawk. Unable to give up dogfighting, he flew the F-5 Tiger II for a further ten years as a Bandit concurrent with his employment as a commercial pilot. Throughout his military career, Paco accumulated nearly 3,000 tactical hours, 400 carrier landings, a Southwest Asia Service Medal with Bronze Star, and three Strike/Flight Air Medals. Chierici’s writing has appeared in Aviation Classics magazine, AOPA magazine, and Fighter Sweep. He also created and produced the award-winning naval aviation documentary, Speed and Angels. Currently a 737 captain, Chierici can often be found in the skies above California flying a Yak-50 with a group of likeminded G-hounds to get his dogfighting fix. He lives in Northern California with his wife Hillary, and two children.

 

Without further ado, let’s get this interview cranking! Continue reading “WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW: Paco Chierici” →

Outer Space HeaderHey Space Cadets, how’re y’all doing today?  I am doing fine – laughing with my family about the Area 51 mime.  Which got me to thinking – not that is not my brain smoking… where was I?  Oh yes, I got to thinking it would be great to do an Area 51 Anthology.  So, after talking to my admin staff (you know the wife) we decided to go for it.  So below you will see the details of my call for short stories for this anthology.

WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW: Robert McCaw

JR HandleyHello Space Cadets! I’m doing well, with some big news coming down the pike. I’ll share more when I get the okay from some publishers, but until then I found another veteran I’d love to spotlight. You guys know that I’ve got a sweet spot for my fellow veterans, it’s why I run these series of interviews, despite a lack of genre congruence. While I don’t write this genre, I do read them so when I was asked to conduct this interview, I jumped to say yes! Continue reading “WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW: Robert McCaw” →

510QAdWwRNLSpolier Free Summary: Luck of the Draw  by J.R. Handley and Corey D. Truax is the fifth story in the Four Horsemen anthology, For a Few Credits More.  Ivan Petrov is a shadow of the man he was, and the man he was wasn’t much to begin with. Drunk, in debt, and in trouble with loan sharks, his life takes a turn when his association with said loan sharks makes him the perfect tool for Boudicca, a bounty hunter tracking a much bigger fish than a simple bookie. But Ivan’s trial in this new bounty hunter mission may just be the first step to his path to redemption.

NOTE: Corey and J.R. are both friends. I was also honored to be a beta reader for this project. These facts do not change my honest opinions of their work.

Character:  Ivan and Boudicca are solid characters. Ivan’s arc is the…

Occupation_Mistake_DealGreetings all,

An Unusual Occupation, the first part of The Journals of Bob Drifter, is free on Amazon April 26-30!

We’re just days away from when Bob’s Greatest Mistake, the second part of The Journals, goes live, and this giveaway is my way to celebrate the countdown.  Mistake will remain 99 cents from now until May 15, when it will go to its normal $2.99 price. So this is essentially a chance to get two stories (or two thirds of Bob’s story in particular) for just 99 cents.

Here’s the part when I ask for help.  Having Occupation as a free release does a lot for an author. The more people who grab up the book while it’s free, the more visibility it will have on Amazon. The more visible the title is, the more likely it is other people will see the book and give it…
