I can't believe how fast time goes by. Since February, I have released two new books that completes my goal of writing a Prequel story for each of my three trilogies.

In February, I released UTOPIAS - The Plaque Wars for my UTOPIAS Dystopian Series. 

In March, I released Nanomachine Wars - Nanotech Terror Weapon for my Nanomachine War Series.

In April, I release The Guardians - Threat Of Extinction for my The Guardians Series.

I did this to make available novella length stories that provide back stories to the main characters and plots found in each of my trilogies. I also needed short stories I can can use to promote each series at a low price. So I priced each new story at 99 Cents!

I tried to make each story interesting with new situations that relate directly to main plots found in each series. I hope you like the stories and they make readers want to continue reading the next book in the series.  Let me know what you think as you read each novella.

Please remember to post reviews on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads and Smashwords if you like my stories. Also, follow me on Amazon, Facebook and Twitter.

I just released my latest ebook, UTOPIAS - The Plague Wars. It is a Novella Prequel story to my UTOPIAS Dystopian Series for only 99 Cents. I hope you like it. It's available on Amazon and Smashwords.

This is the first of three novellas I plan to write. I am almost done with number 2 and will release in March. All three ebooks are for promoting my three trilogies.

It would be great if readers would post Reviews on Amazon if you like any of my stories. It's the best way to help us Indie Authors compete in the marketplace.

I plan to run special pricing sales on selected books each month. Most sales will be included in my monthly Newsletters. Sign up if you are not already a subscriber.

I also include special promotions in our Writers of SciFi monthly Newsletters.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy from the coronavirus. Get your vaccines as soon as you can. 

Thank you for supporting my writing. Spring is around the corner.

Happy Holidays 2020!
This is my end of year post wishing everyone a happy and safe end to this challenging year. It cannot end any faster as far as I am concerned. I hope everyone enjoys a better and healthy new year in 2021. 

I also wish to thank all my readers who purchased and read my stories this year. A special thanks to those who took the time to post reviews for my books. It helps a great deal to get out the word for Indie Authors like myself.

Instead of writing a new novel for release in 2021, I decided to write three short prequel stories or novellas, one for each of my three book series. This will allow me to promote each of the trilogies using novellas priced at 99 cents each. When I am done I will combine all three novellas into one ebook novel for sale. This will allow me to sell my regular ebooks at a reasonable price on Amazon.

Currently, I have finished the draft for my first novella titled UTOPIAS - The Plague Wars set in 2096 two years before Book 0 begins. I hope you enjoy the story when released in January.

Please continue to support Indie Authors in 2021. Be safe in the new year and get your vaccine to protect everyone from this cruel pandemic.

I kicked off my Holiday Sales promotions on Thanksgiving day for Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales with reduced prices on several books - up to 50% off in Smashwords! The reduced prices are good for a limited time only.

The selected books are highlighted in several Sci-Fi book Sales Promotions offered by BookFunnel including my own Holiday Sci-Fi Sales Promo good through December. I will keep offering special prices on selected ebooks throughout the holidays. Visit my Smashwords site to check out the discounts.

I have decided to write three short stories over the winter months instead of starting a new series. These books will be around 20,000 words each and serve as prequels to my three separate trilogies. They will act as book magnets for promotion purposes and help build up my Newsletter subscriber list in 2021.

My first short prequel story will be called UTOPIAS - The Plague Wars and hopefully be ready for release in January. 

I hope everyone stays safe and healthy during this pandemic and enjoys the holidays as best as you can.

October has arrived. Time is moving very fast for me. Fall came quickly, but I'm glad because it puts us one more month closer to getting a vaccine for Covid 19. I'm tired of trying to prevent my family from catching the virus and avoiding friends and family. I hope we can end this pandemic soon!

To keep busy, I have been editing and proofreading the remaining books on my list. I just finished the edits for UTOPIAS - Books 0 and 1 and am about to start Book 2 to complete the trilogy.

I finished the edits for G's Future and G's Journey and combined both short stories into a complete novel. I released the book under the title, G's Story, First Sentient Android. I also released a paperback format and am distributing it widely. 

The story is for the YA market, but it is mature enough for anyone interested in A.I. machines and the Turing Test. I hope you enjoy the story and post reviews if you like it.

My next project for this winter is under consideration. I have a new idea for a series, but I may wait to start until next year. I need to write three short prequel stories for my three trilogies in order to use them for promotion purposes. I am still considering my options.

Don't forget to Vote in this election! And please help us Climate Reality people save the planet!

Stay safe people. Keep reading Sci-Fi!

As some of you know by now viewing my Facebook and Twitter posts, I recently joined Al Gore's Climate Reality Project as a Climate Reality Leader. I took the training in July with around 10,000 others from all over the world. We had to attend nine days of online virtual training sessions and commit to performing 10 Acts Of Leadership over the next few months to remain in good standing. I must say, this training on our Climate Crisis was an eye opener, very informative and in spite of all the harm we have done to our planet there is hope and proof we can all stop and reverse the damage we have done. It will take the complete elimination of all fossil fuel industries by 2050 and the use of 100% Clean Energy from Wind, Solar and other sources of electric power which we are well on our way to achieving. I hope everyone does what they can to help save our planet.

So, you might wonder what does this all have to do with my science fiction writing? The best answer I can give is the Climate Crisis we are experiencing is the background theme I used throughout my UTOPIAS Dystopian Series. I started writing the series several years ago and recently published Book 0, Climate Crisis as a prequel story for the series. By this time the Climate Crisis has produced catastrophic weather related events and the rise of CO2 levels above 415 ppm. We need to reduce this level back down to 350 ppm to maintain our environment at human existence levels. If we fail to do this, the world's Sixth Major Extinction Level Event will become inevitable. 

Here is my latest UTOPIAS book trailer on YouTube used to promote my series. I hope you enjoy the stories and post some reviews if you like them.

A brief book description follows:
By 2098 the human race is faced with a Sixth Mass Extinction Level Event from extreme climate change conditions caused by humans. The planet is dying. Humans will not be able to breathe the air within five years. They are presented with two choices; enter cryosleep for at least 100 years or die slowly from lack of oxygen, deadly carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and rising temperatures.

Promotion events to follow including a New Book Trailer I created using PowerPoint and Windows Live Movie Maker. Its available to watch on YouTube at this link:

Keep safe and keep reading Science Fiction!

March Madness! Not what we were all expecting-is it?

I started the month with a two week vacation in Florida visiting friends. I left two weeks later at the start of the Pandemic in the US.

To say the least, we were not prepared for the fast spread of the virus in all 50 states. The Federal government response was too slow and ineffective. We are still lacking PPE for our frontline doctors and nurses and others. Testing has been a joke. We can not predict how fast the spread can be stopped or slowed down to the lack of everything we need. At least the public is now mostly staying at home to slow down the virus. I hope we all learn from this pandemic and prepare for the next one like we should have prepared for this one.

As for my writing I am still editing and proofreading my next book and the two other books in the series. I plan to complete this project by the end of April. My cover designer is helping to fight the pandemic in Madrid. I hope to see my new covers soon. I never thought I would experience an apocalyptic event as bad as this outside of reading a Sci-Fi novel or watching a movie.

Please, everyone, do what you can to slow down this virus and help our doctors, nurses, delivery people and anyone else who is trying to stop this pandemic as soon as they can. Stay safe and stay at home if you can.
