Valens Heritage, Book 10 : Pay Backs, is now live

 The tenth and final book of the Valens Heritage series (and the 28th Valens Book by me - 31 if we count Peter's three) is now up for sale on Amazon:

Pay Backs - Valens Heritage #10

This will very much be the final Valens book that I will write. The series had an amazing run, seeing as it made it to 28 books (18 first series, 10 follow on, plus some anthologies). But the truth is that sales have gone incredibly soft in the last couple. 

Part of that was my fault, Amazon was pressuring people writing in a 'certain genre' with fears and rumors of being banned. So I slow rolled the last couple of books in the series as I watched to see how things played out. Apparently that pressure was from individuals and not corporate, because the threatened bans never took place. In fact the genre is far larger now than when I first helped to create it.

(I know some folks claim I was the sole person who created it - but I think there's two people who definitely were there with me at the beginning).

I am hoping to write a new series, totally unrelated to this one, once I get caught up on the work my surgery caused to be postponed. I do hope you enjoy this book. I also hope you tell all of your friends to read this series, if they haven't already.

Valley of Fire, Book Two - To Hand is now out in full Novel Length.

 Valley of Fire, Book Two : To Hand

 

 In a fractured galaxy ruled by AI-powered ships and their interfaced crews, ex-privateer Wolf and his enigmatic partner Mariella join the King's Navy to secure their future. Wolf's rare interface, a clue to his heritage, fuels his unmatched piloting skills, while Mariella grapples with her noble past. As interstellar war looms, they navigate alliances and cunning enemies. Reunited in the heat of battle, their bond faces the ultimate test. With battleships rising and unlikely allies emerging, Wolf and Mariella stand at the heart of a galactic storm.

In this thrilling sequel to MISPLACED, love, loyalty, and hidden powers collide in a saga of cosmic intrigue and valor.

I'm serializing Ghost Warrior

 I've decided to try something a little different, as I've mentioned in a past announcement. I'm going to serialize the Ghost Warrior story. What that means is I'll be putting one to two chapters up per month. As for where I'll be putting them?

Patreon

SubscribeStar

Substack

So I will be turning on Subscriptions on Substack. I will be setting the rate there as low as they'll let me. On the other two services, the story will be available to all Paid subscribers. I've already started on this, the first chapter is now up.

As for why I'm doing this, two reasons. The 1st is that I got asked by a lot of people to continue Ghost Warrior, as I did have plans for several more novels in that series. While the first two books did poorly, enough people asked that I thought I would give it a try. I am not currently planning on publishing the following books on Amazon - though I do have a contractual obligation on book 3 for an audiobook. That may or may not come to fruition based on what the audio sales of the prior two books were. Especially if I decline to publish book 3 on Amazon. Being as I'm not planning on putting them on Amazon, that allows me to be a bit more creative or strange, with the story telling. There are things that Amazon doesn't care for Indy authors writing.

The 2nd is that I've been dealing with a fair bit of writer's block the last two months. I'm hoping this will help me get past it. This is more or less how 'Shadow' came about. I'd work on it in small pieces when I was just not able to write.

So if you're interested, you can subscribe at the lowest paid tier on any of the services listed above. Comments will be more than welcome.

The first post will be a brief synopsis of books 1 and 2 of the series, so you have an idea of what's going on if you haven't read them. That will be followed almost immediately by the first chapter, which has already been written. Oh, not of this has been proofread or copy edited. So expect typos.

Also, this will definitely be R rated. Maybe even a soft X in spots? Just Fair warning.
