Freehold Friday: Solar Storm: Episode 1 available as preorder!

Howdy Freeholders!

I have exciting news today! I’m pleased to announce the preorder launch of Solar Storm: Episode 1, IMPACT. This is the serialized project I first hinted at in September of last year. The writing is finished and now I’m wrapping up editing. The ARC Team has copies and we are rollin’ folks!

As a special bonus, here’s the cover so you you know what to look for when it goes live on March 24th.

Solar Storm: Episode 1 is live for preorder (it’s a whopping $0.99) and is the first in a 5 part serialized story. Episode 2: NORTHERN LIGHTS will be up for preorder on the day Episode 1 is released (and so on).

So what’s it all about?  Well, not to give too much of the story away, this is about an average guy—he’s a librarian for cryin’ out loud—who’s caught up in what happens when a massive coronal mass ejection hits the earth and takes down power grids all over the world.  How does he react?  What does he do and what does he do it with (he’s not a super-prepper or SEAL, remember, so he’s limited to stuff he has on hand or what other people give him or what he finds/takes, etc.).  I see a lot of stories where the main character is a cross between Rambo and MacGuyver with the durability of a Terminator—I may or may not be guilty of creating a character or two like that—but in this story, I wanted Joe Six-Pack to have his say.  It was really fun writing it and I hope you’ll have fun reading it.  This book is about 80 pages long (so about a quarter my normal size) but it’s only the first episode (of 5).  So be prepared, it ends with “To Be Continued…”

But Episode 2 will be coming out March 31st so you won’t have long to fume over the cliffhanger.
