This is the first time I've done anything like this and I'm a bit nervous about. Nothing like opening your work to scrutinizing eyes to get the adrenaline flowing. I'm looking forward to the feedback and hope to do this process again for future books.

Hold Still the Sky Trailer

Here is the book trailer for Hold Still the Sky:

smashwords

For those of you who don't know, Smashwords makes works available in a variety of formats (mobi, kindle, rtf, epub, pdf, pdb and more).

In addition to finishing up and publishing "Hold Still," I commissioned a new cover for the omnibus edition of Brief History of Humankind. Here it is:

The omnibus edition is now available through the kindle store on amazon.com. Over the next few months, I will make all three, individual "Brief History" titles and the omnibus edition available in other stores as well.

Omnibus Edition

Both the "Hold Still" cover and the new omnibus cover were created by pixelstudio who I found on fiverr.com. 

Happy Holidays,

Final Editing

I have begun the last stages of editing (proofreading, formatting, cover design, checking narrative flow, etc.) for Hold Still the Sky.

I will publish both "Part Six" (for those of you who have been following along as the separate parts came out) and "Hold Still the Sky: the complete story" sometime in the next couple of weeks. I will also publish a softcover version of the complete story.

Here's the image that will be the main part of the cover:

That's all for now,

HSTS Update

Just fielded a question from a reader following the "Hold Still the Sky" series. He wanted to know when the next installment will be out.

Part Five of "Hold Still the Sky" should be out later this month. I estimate it will be ready for download somewhere between the 15th and 18th of June.

Here's a little preview:

"Akers sat across from Pacen. They did not face each other. The small, modular space of their apartment both separated and contained them. Even more so since they returned from the relative - though short-lived - freedom of the farm dome. Ever since they lost their child.

'Lost' was the correct word. Accurate. Precise. Their boy - Malam - was gone. Not gone dead. Just gone. Oh, and he was seven feet tall the last time they saw him.

The experiment had gone shockingly wrong. What had started as mere trepidation on Akers' part had blossomed into full horror. It had taken all of her self-control to remain calm in Hannah's presence afterwards. To pretend that nothing had happened. To make as if life were still normal. But it wasn't. Life was now a constant sluicing from from bad to worse to desperate. Never settled. Never rested. Malam was gone. Mutated and gone."

Two New Stories

This past week I posted two, new stories to the Kindle store. I put up Part Four of "Hold Still the Sky" (for more info. click on link above) and a stand alone short story titled "H is for Hologram."

Here are the covers:

 

The resolution on the "H is for Hologram" cover is a little low here but it looks much better in the store and when downloaded. I made this cover using the Kindle Cover Creator feature which came out a few weeks ago. I created the background, swirly design in Flowpaper a while back and thought it was a good match for this title. The Part Four cover I made - as I have made all the HSTS covers - with Paper and uploaded in the KDP process.

Part Four has two stories. The first deals with Keto Newsome, a human captured by the plasmons. The second story is a return to Kara. The reader finds out what she has been up to since she was last seen at the end of Part One.

"H is for Hologram" is about an old man whose wife has recently died and a decision he has to make when a strange creature enters his life.
