Captain Quasar Audiobook 2
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
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
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.

Injured while jogging through the woods, high school graduate Jillian Thompson must fight for her life when captured by a recluse convinced she's his God-given wife...
Gina Marie Davies did an excellent job bringing this story to life, and now you can do your ears a favor and listen to it for yourself—just be sure to keep a light on.
Audiobook(s) Update
I received word from my publisher that Tantor Media will be producing the audio versions of the Captain Quasar books, and that they should be available within the next month or two. This is my first time working with Eric Michael Summerer or Tantor, and I hope that their large audience of audiobook fans will find something they like in Quasar's misadventures.
In other news, production on Those Who Wait has wrapped, and it turned out even better than I'd hoped. Gina Marie Davies did an outstanding job. It's currently undergoing the requisite quality review with Audible, and as soon as it's available, I'll post purchase links to the usual places.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Spirits of the Earth, the eBooks and audiobooks are now bundled. The audio "box set" is currently a #1 new release on Amazon, which is pretty cool to see, and features excellent work by Steve Campbell.
Last but not least, Trouble on the Range is currently in production, and I have the privilege to work with E.M. Carberry again. Some of you may remember him from the Captain Quasar novella and short story collection, which he hit out of the park. Can't wait to hear this one!
The Trilogy is Complete!
The United Earth Fleet has established its home base on the terraformed island of Kauai, where humankind is starting over. But when an act of sabotage threatens their existence, Captain Bartholomew Quasar and his intrepid crew must return to space to hunt down the saboteur.
Unbeknownst to them, rifts have opened between parallel worlds, and our heroes are flung into a dangerous reality where they encounter alternate versions of themselves as well as new friends and foes along the way.
In the end, Quasar will have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the multiverse from an extinction-level event at the hands of a ravenous extradimensional threat: the Void.
