Greetings, strangers!
I’ve been busy, busy getting lots of fun new stuff ready for you.
I have two more books in the Bubbles in Space series coming to you this Spring and Summer.
I have some book reviews I’ll be posting in the coming weeks.
I’m tossing around the idea of serializing my HoloCity Case Files novellas… Is that something you’d like to see? Let me know in the comments!
I will also be re-releasing my dystopian science fiction trilogy, The Timekeepers’ War, after receiving some bad news earlier this year.
More on that at the end of the post. Now for the fun stuff!
Upcoming Posts
I will be doing reviews on the following cyberpunk and cybernoir novels in the next few weeks:
Neuromancer by William Gibson
Noir by Christopher Moore
Liquid Cool by Austin Dragon
Into Neon by Matthew A. Goodwin
Behind Blue Eyes by Anna Mocikat, and
Flatlander by Larry Niven
There will be more to come as I finished reading though my list of Indie Cyberpunk books, check it out –> HERE <–
Bubbles in Space Update
Things are starting to ramp up for my new sci-fi series Bubbles in Space. I just got Book #2 in to my editor last month and it will be out at the end of May. I’m done plotting Book #3, and will be diving into drafting ASAP once my edits are complete on #2.
I’ve got a really aggressive (for me!) release schedule planned this year and everything is on track, which means you will get your Bubbles fix right on schedule!
The HoloCity Case Files are a parallel series of mystery novellas, which I’ll be publishing along side Bubbles in Space. They can be read in any order, and you do not have to read them in order to read Bubbles in Space.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s everything you need to know:
Prequel Novella — Dames for Hire: HoloCity Case Files #1
Dirty jobs call for dirty dames. But this is a bit much…
After a suspicious accident costs her a career, an arm, and nearly her life, Bubbles Marlowe needs all the help she can get.
When a friend asks her to do a little dirty work on the side, Bubbles isn’t prepared for just how dirty it’s going to get.
An arrogant scientist, a young heiress, a gambling king pin, and a few too many hired guns…
Can Bubbles finish the case before it finishes her?
HoloCity’s femme fatales are out in full force in this cybernoir detective thriller.
And these dames don’t mess around.

Tropical Punch: Bubbles in Space #1
Strippers, Drugs, and Headless Corpses…
All in a day’s work for Bubbles Marlowe, HoloCity’s only cyborg detective.
What do an anti-tech cult, a deadly new street drug, and the corrupt Chief of Police have in common?
It’s a question Bubbles can’t afford to ask. Last time she got curious it cost her job, a limb, and almost her life.
She vows to stay out of police business. But with a newly minted cybernetic enhancement, a semi-legal P.I. licence, and a knack for asking the wrong kind of questions…
Vows are made to be broken.
But as the body count stacks up, Bubbles realizes she’s made a terrible mistake.
Can she figure out who is behind the murders before she loses her head?

Chew ‘Em Up: Bubbles in Space #2
She didn’t ask for this… Now, there’s no going back.
Bubbles Marlowe prefers to stick to the shadows. But when one of her cases blows up in the media, the private eye is thrust into the public eye.
The timing couldn’t be worse.
Her best friend is on the run for her life and she needs Bubbles’ help!
Now the wrong kind of people are sitting up and taking notice… And the clock is ticking.
The friends will do anything it takes to get out of HoloCity. Even if it means leaving the planet.
Forever…
Can Bubbles survive her newfound stardom long enough to save her best friend?
Or is HoloCity going to chew them up and spit them out?

Pop ‘Em One: Bubbles in Space #3
You win some, you lose some. And sometimes you lose everything… Bubbles Marlowe is lost. Lost in space, lost in love, lost in life. After a contract to protect her best friend goes horribly wrong, things go from bad to worse. Her best friend wakes up from a coma… changed. Rae has crucial information locked inside her brain, and she’s not talking. Bubbles’ ex-partner and would-be lover has been kidnapped and brutalized by the megacorp, Libra. They want to exchange Tom for Rae, but she needs to save them both. On top of all this, she finds herself the de facto property of an asteroid mining company! (Don’t even ask.) They want to use her to start a war. Bubbles has no choice but to follow orders… It’s the only way she can keep Rae safe and save Tom’s life. But can she pull off the heist without getting herself and everyone she loves killed? And if even she can, what’s the point of saving them all if it means starting a corporate war?

HoloCity Case Files
I have another 2-3 novellas planned for release this year, alongside the Bubbles in Space series. I will be finishing them up in my downtime between drafts and don’t have a set release schedule for them. But they will all be available for FREE to my VIP Readers Club, for $0.99-$2.99 Amazon Kindle, and possibly as serials on the blog (if you guys are into it!)
UPDATE: The Timekeepers’ War Trilogy
As many of you know, March 2021 was supposed to be the release of Ghostlights: The Timekeepers’ War Book 2. It’s been a very long time coming, since The Timekeepers’ War Book 1 came out in 2014!
I was really excited about the release, and in the meantime have finished the final installment in the trilogy, Weirfall, anticipating a 2022 release.
Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be.
My publisher, David G. Barnett, passed away suddenly in February. This was very sad news for me. I never met Dave in person, but he was instrumental in getting my author career off the ground.
When I was querying The Timekeepers War, my first ever novel, I was initially surprised by how well the novel was received by agents and publishers alike. I got many requests to read longer and longer excerpts, but ultimately each of these flickers of hope were snuffed out by rejection.
I couldn’t figure out why such positive responses were going nowhere.
I would probably have given up if it weren’t for the feedback I received from Dave.
He gave me actionable advice on how to make my manuscript where it needed to be. I followed his advice, worked with a developmental editor, and ended up cutting almost 50K words from the book! When I was finished, I asked Dave if I could submit it to him again.
He said yes!
I signed on with Bedlam Press only a few months after my twins were born.
I became a published author because Dave cared enough about my story to reach out and help me. And he continued to be a great support over the years, even while it took me so long to finish book two with three little kids running around my feet. Dave had a passion for great stories and he really cared about the authors he worked with. He will be sorely missed by me, and all of the other author’s he took a chance on.
With Dave’s passing, Necro Publications and Bedlam Press are being dissolved. So as the company’s assets are being sorted through, the trilogy is in limbo.
I do plan on self-publishing the books myself and re-releasing them next year.
So, to those of you who are still patiently waiting for Book 2, I promise you’ll get it! And Book 3 shortly after that.
If you haven’t started the series yet, please hold off on buying it until the new version comes out.
Thanks for reading!
