Happy Wednesday again, everyone! Just think — a week and a day left to Thanksgiving. Christmas will be here soon, and then a whole new year. I took a few days off last week, which is why there was no update posted here, but I’m back…
So far, November has been a banner month, with the release of A Climax in Time and Tales From the Saddletramp Universe, Vol. 2: Love, Lost and Found, and I want to thank all of you for helping to make that happen.
As I mentioned in previous updates, I am working on two stories: one to be posted on Literotica and another for a holiday collection currently set to go live in early December.
I am thrilled to announce that the first draft of “The Last, Best Christmas,” my contribution to that collection, is finished, and I’m working on the final version. This story is somewhat different from what I usually write. Not only does it have a happy ending, but no one gets burned, fried, nuked, or sent to Hell…
Once I’m finished with that, I’ll be turning to the other story, Flash 06: The Temporary Wife. You can read a preview of that story here.
This week’s featured book is “Baalak Returns: Book Three in the Baalak Trilogy.” As the name suggests, this is the final book in the Baalak Trilogy on Amazon.
Those familiar with some of my characters will recognize and appreciate two of them: Adrestia Rhamnousia, a.k.a., “Dr. A,” and Eli Jones, the Civil War veteran who became the immortal avenger Justice O. Peace.
From the Amazon description:
After nearly 50 years of captivity, Baalak is released from the underworld, and set loose to rebuild his sex cult on Earth.
By now, Ron Fletcher has taken over the reins of the Gadsden Pacific Archaeological Institute, and his parents, Terry and Eileen Fletcher have retired.
Baalak spends two years climbing out of Hell to find himself a man out of time in a world full of technology he has never encountered. With the help of Marshall Hansen, he learns how to get by, and proceeds to build his following.
But he learns that he has been double-crossed by the same being who set him loose.
Will Baalak rebuild his following? Will he get his vengeance on his sister Adrestia and the Fletchers? Or will his dream crash before it gets started?
You can read an excerpt here and here, then purchase your copy on Amazon here.
The featured free story for this week is Fallout 01: Wife’s Office Party, and tells the story of how one man learned his wife was cheating on him, and the, er, fallout (pun intended) from that infidelity.
The story, which was originally written in 2021, can be read here.
As most of you know by now, I participate in group promotions on Bookfunnel, featuring both free and paid e-books.
This month, you can download Burn! Tales of Infidelity and Retribution, Vol.1, Semper Invictus, and The Armstrong Incident for free on Bookfunnel here. The Kepler Incident, Tabitha Prime, and my newest book, Tales From the Saddletramp Universe, Vol. 2, can be seen here. These promotions run through November.
Justice Rides, The Kepler Incident, A Climax in Time, and Tales From the Saddletramp Universe, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, are available here. At the same time, Flash Book 1, a sample of Justice Rides, Max Burnage Ep. 1, and Semper Invictus can be downloaded for free here. These promotions end on December 15.
That’s it for this week. Stay warm and safe; buy a book or two (preferably mine), and happy trails!
