Some information about my new book
Just approved the final internal proof and am awaiting the final cover proof for my new book “TRATHH and other science fiction stories.” I’m hoping the paperback version will be up on Amazon by the end of next week. With the e-book shortly afterwards.
To say a little about some of the stories:
In “The Streamers”, aliens detectable only by their manipulation of human emotions and their ability to stream have our best interests at heart. Or do they? In “After the Storm” a Multiverse war pitting the gods and mystical powers against the cosmic powers has led to no winners and few survivors, yet somehow life finds a way.
In “Treldron” an enigmatic alien from an unknowable alternate reality gives a new meaning to courage under fire while in “Forgotten Soldier”, an alien soldier programmed for zero tolerance to crime gets accidentally left on Earth.
In “The Young Old War” the ineffectual middles passively tolerate a world wide trend of increasing violence against the elderly by roaming feral youthpaks while in “Nerdforce” the meetings behind closed doors of a small group of nerds can have consequences beyond our Earth.

My new sci-fi book close to being published
My new book “Trathh and other science fiction stories” is close to being published through Amazon CreateSpace. It is a collection of sci-fi short stories of 55,000+ words. The main story will be based on my “Trathh” story that has been pod cast on the Beam Me Up Pod cast site over the last year or so. However there are some 20 other short stories forming part of the collection. I will definitely enroll the e-book version in kdp select so I can make it free 5 days in every 90 days. Cheers!
