What I Did On My Social Media Sabbatical (Part Three) – A New Sovereign Era Short Story By P. G. Holyfield

Here’s part three of my four part series on what I was up to during my self-imposed social media sabbatical in the month of August, 2013! We’ve already talked about my first affiliate marketing website and a run of deep world building on the Shaper’s World of Walk Like A Stranger: Passing Through Home. Another thing that kept me busy in August was bringing “Canary In A Coal Mine,” a new Sovereign Era short story by P. G. Holyfield, to fruition.

About “Canary In A Coal Mine” by P. G. Holyfield

When I ran my Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of Pilgrimage, my second novel, last year, one of the pledge rewards was a brand new Sovereign Era short story from Murder at Avedon Hill author P. G. Holyfield.

It was P. G.’s idea, actually… he wanted a reason to get back to regular writing and thought it would be cool to do a follow-up to his first Sovereign Era tale, “Every Breath You Take.” Naturally, as is clear, the new story continues P. G.’s trend of naming these things after songs by the Police.

P. G. turned in the first draft of the story back in June, and things were pretty well hammered out in July, but it was August when I built the cover around a contextually perfect image from Jim Orsini and laid out the e-book. And now… it’s almost ready for you!

More Sovereign Era Stories?

So far a handful of authors have written some great stories set in my Sovereign Era storyworld. I’m certainly down with that happening again. There are even a few tales I feel other authors could, frankly, write better than I could.

So I’m open to it, under the right circumstances, with the right author and the right story.

Do you want to see more Sovereign Era short stories written by authors other than myself? Sound off about it… in the comments!
