Editing Update

The first half of 2021 has flown the coop, and on the writing front, it's been all about those edits. First up was Madame Antic's Hotel Grotesque, which will be available later this year from Montag Press. After three productive rounds with my editor, the manuscript is good to go, and now some original cover art is in the works. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

While the plot's fresh in my mind, I figured it would be a good idea to edit the sequel, and I'm about halfway through Underground (working title). So far, so good. At the same time, I received word that Amazon is trying something new for them: serialized fiction. Kindle Vella should be available to readers within the next month or two, and if nothing else, it's motivating me to polish up Dust Freaks & Demigods, the novel I drafted at the end of last year. I'm posting one chapter at a time, and this week I'm working on #10. It'll be interesting to see how Vella works out and how popular it is, but I'm always up for trying a different avenue to expand my audience.

Whenever I need a break from editing, I've been sprucing up the cover art on my backlist. Thanks to Pixabay and Canva, the new graphics are turning out pretty well and haven't cost me a thing. You're welcome to check them out at your favorite online bookstore: Amazon, Apple, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Kobo. If all goes according to plan, I might attract a few new readers who do judge books by their covers.

Captain Quasar Audiobook 3

Amazon Apple Audible

The Captain Quasar audio trilogy is now complete! In this final installment, our hero is beside himself. Literally. Because he's dealing with a multiverse conundrum, and if he's going to save the day, he'll need the help of his other selves to do it. More than one Quasar will have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save all of reality from an extinction-level event at the hands of a ravenous extradimensional threat: the Void. This one was a blast to write, and it's even more fun to hear. Enjoy!

Captain Quasar Audiobook 2

Amazon Apple Audible

The second audio installment in the Captain Quasar trilogy is now available! Unlike The Space-Time Conundrum, this one's more episodic. Not surprising, since I wrote the first half without realizing I was writing a novel. (I thought I was writing a series of novelettes. Shows how much I know!) Quasar and his intrepid crew must brave dangerous aliens, killer robots, vicious space pirates, and a mysterious artificial intelligence in order to build the United Earth Fleet and return home, where all new perils await. Mwahaha...

Captain Quasar Audiobook 1

Amazon Apple Audible

The first installment in the Captain Quasar trilogy is now available in audio, thanks to the fine folks at Tantor Media. Eric Michael Summerer did a fantastic job bringing it to life. His style is his own, but the flavor is close enough to E.M. Carberry's that listeners won't notice a huge disparity between the Captain's Log audiobooks and the novels. Looking forward to hearing Books 2 & 3, which should be available in the next few weeks.

Meet Harold Muldoon, Time-Traveling Detective

Kindle Paperback

Muldoon has a big problem: he's dead. Twenty years ago, a monk with a kodachi cut off his head. Now Irena, his widow, is searching for him. So is Gavin Lennox, power-hungry owner of The Pearl, the hottest night spot in all of NewCity. Cyrus Horton, an eccentric inventor, has also joined in the search. They're all looking for the BackTracker, a time travel device that has caused divergent realities to spiral out of control. In one of them, Muldoon is still alive.

He was a private investigator, the best at what he did. He solved his cases 100% of the time. Hindsight is, after all, 20/20. And the BackTracker allowed him to change the past. But in the process, his travels through time have unraveled the universe, stretching, tearing the fabric of space-time and sending his own mind into oblivion. He can no longer distinguish between true and false memories; he no longer knows who he was.

BackTracker is about a hero dealing with the consequences of his actions. It's about second chances. And it's about what makes us human despite technology's power to shape society. But at its core, it's a story about a man and woman who won't allow anything to keep them apart—not space-time, not even death.
