Special Offer for Goodreads Members!
On Wednesday, May 15, 2019, for one day only, the e-book edition of my latest novel, Probability Shadow, will be available for only $0.99.
There’s never been a better time to enter this far-future world of political intrigue, in which warring powers are forced to unite in a desperate struggle against an ancient, deadly evil. Can an aging crustacean lead an alliance of misfits — including humans, androids, symbiotes and the ghostly remains of an ancient culture — to save all of sentient life from annihilation?
“… a smashing SF world, populated with an incredibly diverse cast [that] combines the best of space opera and SF, by giving readers an entertaining adventure that leaves something a little heavier to dwell on after the last enemy space ship has exploded into the vacuum.” — Jodi Scaife, Fanbase Press
“… an engrossing far-future reality of galaxy-spanning civilizations … His imagination is impressive.”
— John Koegh, Booklist
“… a good series opener for speculative readers who like tangled story lines in which solved problems reveal even greater challenges.” — Publishers Weekly

Join me at HELIOsphere!
If you're in Tarrytown, NY, this coming weekend, April 5-7, look for me at the HELIOsphere sci-fi / fantasy convention, in the Double Tree Hilton Hotel. I'll read excerpts from "Probability Shadow," the first book in my new series, "Against the Glare of Darkness" on the 5th. On the 7th, I'll be a panelist for a discussion of "The Hero's Journey vs The Team Victory.” Do traditional story models still work for sci-fi/fantasy in the 21st century? Stop by and find out. For details about HELIOsphere, visit http://www.heliosphereny.org/ I hope to see you there.
