I've been travelling, so I'm a bit late with the announcement, but my space-horror story "Song of Marzanna" is out now in Tales to Terrify. A xenoarcheologist studying an orbital temple left by an extinct alien race discovers something terrible about the inscriptions covering its walls. #horror

Like CATS? Like SPACE? Like MECHS? Like SHOOTING STUFF. Like QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ETHICS OF CONSENT IN UPLIFTING ANIMALS AND ALSO THE HEALING OF TRAUMA THROUGH KINDNESS Then, my friend, put the 6TH OF OCTOBER in your diary. Audio and EBOOK release of BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK. (Tell everyone.)

A cat is looking out of a human space suit at you. That's what we call in the trade, a visual metaphor. Now comes the blurb.

Years ago, Deep Strike cadet Min Law was left behind during what was meant to be a routine operation. Though he survived, the resulting trauma almost ended his career. Now, as captain of the DST Thunberg, he is preparing to take his crew on a similar journey to a seemingly quiet world following a garbled distress signal. The mission is simple on paper: find the source of the call, offer aid, return home.

But nothing is simple in the Wild Black at the edges of the unexplored universe. As the crew of the Thunberg searches for the signal’s source, they find strange ships and corpses that shouldn’t be there. The mysteries begin to pile up. What happened out here? And why does some of the technology look horribly familiar?

Fortunately, Min’s team of animal counterparts is prepared for anything. The bear, Sitka Pete, is eight hundred pounds of loyal muscle. The rooks are quick and coordinated, perfect for reconnaissance. And the cats, Oz and Hinder, well, they’re just cats. But together they’re more than up for whatever the Wild Black can throw at them—even if this region isn’t quite so unexplored after all . . .

My surgery ended up being A LOT more expensive than I was quoted. I also have all the books I intended to sell at StokerCon this year before my plans were dashed. So I’m selling signed copies of SLEEP ALONE (new and old editions) and SOMETIMES WE’RE CRUEL. Details in thread. Please share!

Paperbacks of Sleep Alone, Sometimes We’re Cruel, and the new edition of Sleep Alone surrounded by bookmarks and stickers.

I would very much like to read a story where our planet was managed like a closed system, think starship or space habitat. If the book exists, let me know, if not please write it.
