Hey Space Cadets, how’re y’all doing this fine day? I’m doing great, and cranking away on the revisions to book four! I’ve also been exercising every day to clear my mind, and hopefully maybe fit back into my uniform before the decade ends! Okay, maybe that last part was a pipe dream, but I’m okay with it! Anyway, while I walk, I like to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. I’ll give you a list of some of the podcasts I listen to, and some good audio books in another post! Most of my podcasts are writing related, or historical in nature, so I can inundate myself with ideas to stir the stories. Hopefully, these podcasts are helpful!

BOOK SALE!!!
Hey Space Cadets, I just want to bring you some news about a book sale! I figured I’ll do these posts whenever a book I reviewed or loved is on sale. Spreading the word about good books is just the kind of community I hope to build on this blog, so I’ll shout the good ones from the roof tops! This time, I wanted to let you know that a book I recently reviewed, Powered by Scott Bartlett, is on sale. It has dropped from USD 2.99 to USD 0.99, quite the bargain! Scott’s special sale is to celebrate the launch of the third book in this series, Meltdown, so I figured it was worth mentioning!! Speaking of the new books, the third book in the series is ALSO on sale for $0.99 for a short while so check out the series! Continue reading “BOOK SALE!!!”

Hello, Space Cadets! Today, I wanted to introduce you to another author from my WARRIOR WEEKEND INTERVIEW SERIES. I am knee deep in rewrites on book four of my Sleeping Legion series. I really hate all that red ink. Other than that all is moving along well in my life. They figured out most of what was up with my wife – now they just have to figure out the treatment. The only other thing on the agenda is to take my son out tomorrow to see the eclipse – since I have nothing else to add lets talk about today’s featured veteran. We are talking to author Sandra J. Yearman.
Sandra J Yearman is a native of Wisconsin, where she currently resides. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism. Sandra was a member of the United States Army Reserves for over twenty years. She retired from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office in Madison Wisconsin as a sergeant.
Sandra is a cancer survivor. And it is on this journey that she says she found her voice and began to write. She established Seraphim Publishing LLC in 2008. Sandra has spent decades supporting and working with rescued domestic animals.
Book Four Updates
Hey Space Cadets, how’re ya doing on this fine August day? I just wanted to give you a quick update on where we are with book four. Right now Boss Man and I are still batting around ideas for a title for the book, since Maternal Vengeance wasn’t the best fit. I can promise you that as soon as we know, you will! We do know that the cover won’t change since we want a continuous look across all of them. I think that the editing and rewriting for this book will take longer than the others, but it’ll be a good learning experience for me. I have to worry about tying up all the plot threads that I strung along, and linking the series back into the final Continue reading “Book Four Updates”
Book Review: Powered (Mech Wars Book 1)
Hey Space Cadets, here is the next installment in my series of book reviews. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m a member of the TRMN. It’s a fan club for the Honor Harrington Universe by David Weber, and they do contests for their members all the time. There is a reading contest going on recently, and we get bonus points for reading authors who are on the TRMN Author List. And, if those authors will be at the 2017 Honor Con, we get even more points! So, you’ll see my next several reviews on books by Chris Kennedy, Marko Kloos and David Weber before I get back to Richard Fox’s Ember Wars Continue reading “Book Review: Powered (Mech Wars Book 1)”
I AM BACK!!!
Hey Space Cadets, I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on Team Handley, before I get back to the grind. And I know – I said I would be out offline for a week; however, in my defense, my admin person took a vacation. Now, onto other news – I’ve just finished a short story I’ve titled LZ New Birth, and set in a world that’s been flitting around inside my head for a few years. It’s in the universe I intend to write in once I finish co-writing The Odera Chronicles with Corey, my soon-to-be co-writer. It was already submitted, so now we wait! Once I know more, I’ll let you know what’s happening with this story. I’m currently going over the first round of edits for the last book in the Sleeping Legion Series and working on a novella for another anthology. Afterward, it’s full speed ahead with Odera!

Transitioning Projects
Hey Space Cadets, how’re y’all doing today? I’m doing great, working on a few small projects and prepping to start my next series. While I wait for the editor to take his Red Pen of Doom to my final Sleeping Legion novel, I’ve started outlining several smaller projects and tying up loose ends. I’ve got two short stories for different anthologies to write and then I’ll start on my next series. I really like the premise of the series in question, and think it has a lot of potential but more on that in another blog! Continue reading “Transitioning Projects”
