Once again, a lot has happened since the last time I blogged.
DRAGONS, my science fiction YA adventure (the book I finished right before completely The New Americans) has been picked up by eSpec Books. This wonderful indie publisher, run by the amazing Mike and Danielle McPhail, has since jumped into the project with both feet. They immediately added it to Kickstarter than did very well for itself, fully funding on just my books but a number of other projects as well. I really very impressed with these folks. Full disclosure: we go back a ways. :) Dragons tells the story of eighteen-year-old Andy Draco, who finds himself kidnapped by a billionaire and sent via spacecraft millions of miles from Earth to aid in a rescue operation. However, to accomplish this, Andy must first admit to, and then embrace, a power he’s spent his life hiding. Andy is a Dragon, a vanishingly small subspecies of humanity capable of generating incredible amount of thermal energy at will. Relegated to myth and embellished and romanticized by legend, Dragons are people, not giant lizards, who seek quiet lives and devote themselves to concealing their true nature. But now terrorists have seized a mining colony on remote Europa, and a Dragon is needed to melt a shaft through the twenty-mile ice shelf to affect a rescue. All is not as it seems, however, and Andy soon finds himself embroiled in a deadly political struggle that will test not merely his power, but his courage and intellect as well. There’s more at stake here than he can imagine. (Taken from the query, btw.) Needless to say, I'm honored and crazy excited right now. This makes my ninth published novel and I'm fiercely proud of it. I hope all of you will look for it when it comes out and pick up a copy! I promise you won't regret it. Oh, and don't worry ... I'll remind you. ;)
