This week’s episode is sponsored by Lori Janeski’s Phoenix (The Carter Files Book One)

Humanity has colonized the solar system, but crime still doesn’t pay.

David Carter is one of the most decorated agents in the Interplanetary Police Forces, but for the last two years, he’s turned reckless, throwing himself into his work—or into the path of a criminal’s bolt pistol.

As a specialist in deception analysis and interrogation, Veronique de Tournay has been right where she wants to be: a profiler in the major cases bureau, Division 7. Unfortunately, the director has reassigned her to Special Agent Carter, and neither of them are happy about it.

After they stop a devastating attack on Mars, meant to kill thousands and cripple interplanetary travel, Carter and de Tournay discover evidence of other subversive attacks in the system. With time running out, the reluctant partners may be the only ones standing in the way of a conspiracy that stretches all the way from Luna to the Saturn Space Station.

July Update Post

Okay, I’ve got to keep this brief because there is a crazy amount of stuff going on right now!

Kickstarter Update

We are heading into the last 4 days of the Monster Hunter International miniatures game kickstarter from Everything Epic. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/everythingepicgames/monster-hunter-international-the-miniatures-game/description

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/everythingepicgames/monster-hunter-international-the-miniatures-game/description

We are at a whopping $229k right now and have been blowing through stretch goals. Just take a look at all the awesome stuff we’ve unlocked-

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/everythingepicgames/monster-hunter-international-the-miniatures-game/posts

More heroes, more monsters, and the more people who back in the final hours I’m excited to see what else we can unlock. Remember, there will be no regular retail on this, so this is your chance. And the more of your friends you tell, the more cool free stuff we can add.

You guys are amazing. I am humbled by how well this has gone. I’ve got the best fans in the business.

Secret Gun Book Project

Yep, it turns out when you have studied a topic for 30 years, you can write a book about it in 30 days! The non-fiction gun/politics book project is almost wrapped up, and I will be giving more information about it soon. This is not an indy project, it is through a major non-fiction publisher. More details to come.

WriterDojo

Thank you to all our supporters, this has been cranking along. And, good news, the special story that Steve wrote specifically for our WriterDojo backers will go out TODAY. (If you don’t receive it in the next 24 hrs, send me your email. Supporters@WriterDojo.com -Jack)

And I am happy to announce that we will be doing a WriterDojo panel at FenCon, with me, Steve Diamond, and Jack Wylder all together in person. Which should be a lot of fun.

Upcoming Books

My next release is No Game for Knights, the second anthology of sci-fi and fantasy noir short stories that I co-edited with the amazing Kacey Ezell. It comes out in September, but the eARC is available now from Baen.com. (https://www.baen.com/no-game-for-knights-earc.html)

My next book after that is Tower of Silence, 4th book in the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. I do not know the exact release date of that, but I believe it is 2nd quarter 2023.

I’d love to talk more, but I’ve got to go do some final edits.

This week’s episode is brought to you by Stephanie Osborn’s Alpha & Omega (Division One, book one)

Dr. Megan McAllister was already a pretty unusual human — NASA astronaut, professional astronomer, polymath — when she encountered the man in the black suit that night in west Texas. What Division One Agent Echo didn’t know, when he recruited her to the Agency, was that she was even more special.

But he’d find out, soon enough.

We have stretch goals!

First up, everybody’s favorite stripper turned monster hunter, Holly Newcastle (I love writing Holly).

Currently we are $133k and moving steadily so almost to Holly. The next stretch goal will get revealed soon.

I am blown away by how awesome you guys are. The reception to this has been great.

I’ll be on Ethan Van Sciver’s livestream tonight (7 EST) talking about this kickstarter and other stuff. You can tune in at the ComicArtistProSecrets channel on Youtube tonight.

“Word Mercenaries” (the WriterDojo theme) is by Craig Nybo https://craignybo.com/

This week’s episode is sponsored by Jonathan Schuerger’s Shades of Black I: In Darkness Cast

Gideon Halcyon wants nothing more than to save his people from the forces of Hell. Demons and cultists run roughshod over his home, slaughtering and sacrificing to a trifecta of fallen angels on the cusp of destroying the kingdoms of Man. Hope seems infantile in the face of extinction itself…

...until Gideon meets Ashkelon.

Coming from the Void beyond the world, Ashkelon alone survives the world he left in ruins. Cynical and ruthless, the dark sorcerer seethes with millennia of hatred, and his cursed sword Acherlith shrieks with the last screams of a thousand failed heroes.

Ashkelon makes Gideon an offer – to train him to be a hero of the Light beyond the failures sealed within his blade, a peerless warrior exceeding even the exacting standards of the Everlasting Dark. Reluctantly, Gideon accepts, and is thrust into a world of infinite cruelty under Ashkelon’s black fist where the slightest misstep will see him dead at the sorcerer’s hand.
