Probability Shadow: Upcoming Events and Reviews
As I've already noted, my new science fiction novel for adults, Probability Shadow, will be published by Chickadee Prince Books on October 1, 2018. It’s the first volume of my new series Against the Glare of Darknessand it's already available for pre-order in trade paperback and Kindle on Amazon. It’s also available at any bookstore in America.
On October 2, I’ll sit down for an interview with nationally syndicated radio host Patzi Gill (“Joy on Paper”) that will air later this year. I’ll also mark the publication of my novel the weekend before (September 28–30), with an appearance at Capclave 2018 in Rockville, MD. I’ll participate in panel discussions, give a reading and, if you’re so inclined, sell you an autographed copy of Probability Shadow ahead of publication. I’d love to see you there.
The early response to Probability Shadow has been really gratifying:
Publishers Weekly , the leading publishing magazine, writes,
“[T]he characters are solid and appealing, the time-displaced enemy is a constant looming shadow, and the common mistrust and its deadly consequences are frustratingly believable. Laporta's strength is weaving those plots into a complexity that isn't confusing, particularly when the species (including humans) are manipulated into damaging themselves. This is a good series opener for speculative readers who like tangled story lines in which solved problems reveal even greater challenges,"
and Tay Laroi a contributor to Cheapreads.com and the author of Portraits of a Faerie Queen, writes:
"Everything that Laporta did right in Changing Hearts of Ixdahan Daherek gets amped up this first installment of his first adult space opera. The world is vivid, creative and fun to explore, the plot is exciting, with plenty of twists and turns, and the characters are memorable and surprisingly human, despite being from the farthest regions of the universe and Laporta’s imagination…. Diverse casts can be done organically, they should be done, and they should be celebrated.... [A]s always, Laporta’s new title is out-of-this-world good."
By the way, if you do pre-order the book on Amazon, you may receive a message from Amazon saying the book is unavailable and asking you if you want to cancel — please don’t! This happens if they get too a lot of orders at once, and it’s good news. It means a lot of people are buying it! The publisher assures me the book will be shipped on time.
Please spread the word to anyone you know, who loves exploring the uncharted realms of science fiction.
