Take a Squat

Everything about my latest futuristic science fiction book, Squatter's Rights, has been on the fast track. This is the fifth book in my Vitalis series. I wrote it in less than a week and my editor had finished it inside of another week. The cover art came in just last night, taking perhaps a week as well. All in all, it's been a book that defies the traditional timing of writing and publishing. I know I felt fevered and impassioned when writing it. On any given day in spite of being constantly busy I would manage to crank out 2,000 to 8,000 words. I love the direction it took me and can't wait to explore the possibilities that lay ahead of me. My editor returned it to me with the comments, "I liked Squatter's Rights. And soooo creepy about those parasites!"


What? Creepy? Oh yeah, I went there. I'm branching out and trying to mix my sci-fi with a dash of horror!


There's more though, this came through at an amazing time. Today's my birthday and what better birthday present then for two people to get something at the same time? Treat yourself to Vitalis – Squatter's Rights for a whopping $.99 and everybody wins! Here's the blurb and the cover…


The accidental colony on Vitalis has grown with each lucky survivor the planet tried to chew up and spit aside. For three years Treetown has offered shelter and solace to the refugees of the beautiful planets merciless life cycle. Survival against nature is no longer enough.


 A new danger threatens the indentured colonists. The survivors must put aside their differences if they hope to stand a chance against an opponent that will use their very DNA against them.
