Earthman Jack vs. The Secret Army To Be Released September 15th, 2015!

Hey party people,

Okay, so I’ve been in a state of “radio silence” for quite some time.  My apologies for that.  I found that it’s difficult for me to blog AND work on my novels at the same time.  Much like rubbing my tummy and patting my head, I either have to do one or the other.  By the time I’m done blogging, I don’t feel like writing fiction.  By the time I’m done writing fiction, I’m too exhausted to blog.  So I chose to focus on the thing I’m most passionate about, which is finishing the novels I have planned for completing this year.  In 2014, I did a lot of traveling for my book tour, which made it hard to write.  This year, I’m all about being productive!  Especially when it comes to the Earthman Jack series.

Probably the most common email I get is:  When’s the next Earthman Jack book coming out?

And my responses have ranged from “When I get it done,” to “Soon,” and even the occasional “Heck if I know!”

But the good news is that I now have a definitive answer to that question.  And that answer is:  Tuesday, September 15th.

Yes, book two of the Earthman Jack Space Saga will be publicly available next month!  It is titled Earthman Jack vs. The Secret Army, and picks up where the last book left off, taking us on a whole new adventure with Jack and the gang.  I’ve spent the last few months sending out Advanced Review Copies to select reviewers, and so far the response has been overwhelmingly positive. In fact, many readers are telling me it’s even better than the first one!  (I don’t know if that’s a polite way of saying the first book sucked, or that the second book is an all-new level of awesome.  Either way, I guess I’ll just take it as a win.)

Though I was able to write Secret Army fairly quickly (well, compared to the 5 years it took to write Ghost Planet), the editing phase took longer than expected, and then we needed to have 4 months of lead time for reviews and stuff.  So unfortunately, I couldn’t release the book until the fall of this year.  The cool thing is that my birthday is September 3rd, so I get to publish this book I’m passionate about during my birthday month and celebrate it’s release along with another year of being alive on this Earth (which, if you’ve read Ghost Planet, you know is kinda important!).

So what does this mean for you Earthmaniacs?  When can you get your grubby little paws on the book?  What will it be about?  What characters will be returning?  What new characters will be entering the fray?  What crazy antics will Jack get into this time around?

Well, though you may have to wait until September 15th to find out all the answers to these questions, the good news is that in the weeks leading up to the book’s release, I am going to be doing special previews of the book right here on my website.  Things like revealing cover art, original illustrations from the book, sample chapters, character profiles, and giveaways!  So be sure to join my email list to get notified when these things are posted.  Or just check the blog regularly.  Either method should work.

On Thursday, August 27th, I’ll be doing a cover reveal where I’ll show you all the official cover of the book, talk a little bit about it, and share with you the book’s blurb so you can get a taste of what the story will be about.  As always, feel free to comment on my posts, and if you have any questions that I’m able to answer, that’s where I’ll do it.

Thanks for stopping by, reading, and all that jazz!  I’m excited that I’ll get to share the Secret Army with you soon!
