Hey, hey!

I'm wide open. And almost certainly a rebel without a clue, but never mind that.

The Players of the Game saga is now wide on Ebook format, not just on Kindle. So if you prefer to read on Nook, Kobo, Apple, Smashwords, or Scribd, I have you covered.

I'll be expanding paperbacks to wide distribution in the coming months as well.

In the meantime, if you didn't want to use "the smile" in favor of alternative eBook marketplaces, please check out the books below. 

And as always, you can get the Repenter and the Hidden Chapters on the house through my Book Funnel links.

I'm still engaged in the great ProWritingAid edit-o-rama.  I have finished my way through The Breakers and will move on to the Jagged Pieces novella next.

Then I shall leverage Scrivener to re-arrange all the rough draft components of The Game War and get on with the second draft.

The editing machete is sharpened, and it shall be time to cut and edit all kinds of affronts to man and Vurg.

Players of the Game Rephrase Quote of the Month:

Frulgrath and Xax:

Frulgrath’s shoulders tightened. Xax sensed something. He sensed the trap.

“Well, that’s just–” Xax whirled around and punched the hidden Shulinkarv in his beaked face with a fierce crack. “Ducky!”

Secret Invasion on Disney+

It started off a bit slow, but I love the paranoia this series emulated from the comic series.

It's much more of a spy thriller than a behind-the-eight-ball fight against aliens, but it's well done. Samuel L. Jackson's Fury is great and weather worn. I won't spoil any twist here, but I'm pleasantly surprised on this one. 

Give it a try.

The Forged by Greg Rucka and Eric Trautmann

I generally don't like magazine-sized comics, but this one just hit all my buttons.

It's a little bit Warhammer 40k and a little bit Inhumanoids (a lesser known Sunbow cartoon and toy series from the 80's).

It surrounds a squad of super tough women soldiers in power armor who have to deal with clones of their empress and an agenda that involves Cthulhu-esque aliens that really, really want all of humanity to expire.

Great military sci-fi if that's your bag.

That's all for this time.

Stay smart.  Stay safe.
