Announcing “Totalus”

For those of you who follow my blog, you may recall me mentioning a long time back that I was working on a story for a collection of science-fiction shorts.

If you don’t recall that, don’t worry. It was a long time ago (click here if you want to see for yourself).

In any case, you may notice that a new item has popped up on my author page, something called Pew! Pew! – Bad Versus Worse. It is a new book up for pre-order, but will be released December 14th. The collection features some great writers that I have worked with already including S.E Anderson and M.D Cooper.

Limited release collections have been a great success for me in the past. If you recall, I had tremendous success with the release of Broken Tomorrow. These types of collections are a great way for authors like me to reach new readers who would otherwise never find my books. And the extra money isn’t so bad either.

My story is tentatively titled Totalus, though that name could potentially change. The summary is as follows:

The powerful Totalus Empire, led by the sinister Emperor Totalus, has constructed its secret weapon: The World Ender Base, the largest, most advanced battle station in the universe. Crewed by a staff of thousands, the station strikes fear in the hearts of the brave Resistance.

But with a crew so large, it is easy to forget about the little-guys: the soldier who waits in position for hours just to salute the Emperor as he emerges from his shuttle, the pilot who gets left behind because her fighter didn’t have gas, or the bartender who sees it all, because you know there must be a bar in a place like this.

Told over a series of five vignettes, meet the ordinary people who make the universe’s deadliest battle station what it is.

The story is intended as a spoof on Star Wars. There are some pretty obvious references in it to the movies. I think people will really enjoy it.
