Howdy all! Exciting news – the entire trilogy, starting with the BBNYA 2022 finalist, "Mercury's Shadow," is now up for grabs on Amazon.

For those of you who've journeyed with Chim from the outer edges of the solar system to the heart of her conflicts with the Kardashev Corporation, the saga continues. Now, you can own the entire series and relive the adventure, the suspense, and the triumphs from start to finish.

If you have't completed the journey, if you're looking to complete your collection or just dive back into the universe that captivated your imagination, "The Kardashev Cycle" awaits!

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Here's to more interstellar journeys together!

Imogen “Chim” Esper is thrust into the center of an interplanetary conflict when her father is injured on a spacewalk on a mining station. Wracked with guilt over her own role in the events leading to the accident and the cold indifference of the Kardashev corporation, Chim struggles to find her place in a society that is poised for revolutionary transformation.

The Kardashev corporation dominates all commerce and politics in the solar system after coming to prominence in the great expansion led by space mining. Alton Neal, the CEO of Kardashev is hell bent on transforming society by capturing the full energy output of the sun.

Citizens of Earth and the stations throughout the system must band together to protect access to the lifeblood of the system or risk becoming permanently enslaved to the Kardashev corporation.

Mercury’s Shadow is a thrilling adventure that blends real science, big ideas, grand adventure and high stakes to introduce a new heroine and a deep universe that will leave readers asking for more.

Happy summer to all. Here in the east, it’s been pretty intense with wildfires, floods and scorching ocean temps. It seems like we’re only a few steps away from a typical post-apocalyptic novel setting!

After the release of Eternity’s Veil, Book Three of the Kardashev Cycle, I’ve been puttering away at some other projects—stay tuned for what’s next.

One of those projects is migrating my mailing list to a new platform: Substack.

As part of that migration, this mailing list has picked up a title: Bits++Lit to reflect the combo of technology and writing that drives my work. For you, dear reader, nothing has changed other than you might notice the email comes from Substack instead of Mailerlite. You can still unsubscribe at any time if you’re not interested in this content, but changing platforms opens up a bunch of new possibilities:

• More regular content including exclusive stories, audio content and more.
• The ability to give rewards and bonus content for engaged readers.
• The ability to interact in more ways: you can comment on posts now.
• Better customization, where as the content evolves you’ll have more control over what types of posts you want to see from me.

I’m just getting started on this platform so it’s still a work in progress, but hopefully it will mean more content and the start of a more interactive community. With social media continuing its downward spiral, enhancing my direct reader community has become much more important.

Lots more to come! Welcome aboard the new and improved mailing list, Bits++Lit!

ps. While this is just getting going if you run into any issues (ie. didn’t receive a link to your copy of Sol’s Dawn) you can just reply to this and I’ll do my best to help you out.

If you’re reading this on the web and want to see more posts like this, you can subscribe for free and you’ll even get a copy of Sol’s Dawn delivered right to your inbox!
