Get Your Free Review Copy of the DRAGON FRIEND Audiobook While Supplies Last!

Get Your Free Review Copy of the DRAGON FRIEND Audiobook While Supplies Last!

Calling all US and UK AUDIOBOOK enthusiasts! I just discovered I still have a limited number of FREE promo codes for my DRAGON FRIEND audiobook available for download in the US and UK.
 
Direct Message me/email me if you're interested (or know someone who'd be interested) in listening to a fun, dragon-heavy, Arthurian fantasy adventure narrated by the immensely talented Bobby Gaglini.
I'll take it from there and send the promo code and necessary download and review links (while my current supply of free promo codes lasts). Make sure you specify whether you live in the US or the UK.
 
The basic idea is that you get a free Dragon Friend audiobook to enjoy "in exchange for an honest review" on Amazon and Audible. The reviews can be brief and should honestly reflect how you feel about this audiobook. You can also post the same review on both platforms. 
 
In the interest of full transparency, Amazon/Audible wants reviewers to put a phrase similar to "I received a free review copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review." in your review.
 
As most of you know, reviews really, really, really help, so I'd be really, really, really grateful for your support. Thanks!

NOW AVAILABLE! Dragon Friend (The Complete 3 Book Arthurian Fantasy Adventure Series)

Dragon Friend (The Complete 3 Book Arthurian Fantasy Adventure Series)
Join Leonard in this action-packed, magic-filled, 3 book series. Watch as he befriends dragons, battles giants and monsters, and clashes with an evil secret society of dark wizards and witches who want to destroy Leonard's family and everyone else he cares about!

This new 3 book collection contains the following Dragon Friend
novels:

Dragon Friend is an epic YA Arthurian fantasy novel sure to delight readers with its unique blend of magic, dragons, and irreverent humor. When the fate of Camelot rests in the hands of a lowly page, Leonard, he embarks on a daring quest to find the legendary wizard, Merlin, and rescue King Arthur from imprisonment. As he navigates a dangerous world of hungry monsters, wicked villains, and grumpy dragons, Leonard must use his wits to restore peace and honor to Camelot.

In
Giant Killer, Leonard continues his daring adventures on an all-new, danger-filled quest. Made a Knight of Camelot by King Arthur himself, young Leonard enjoys a life of peace and prosperity in the Green Valley. He deserves it after all he went through in Dragon Friend. But has he gotten lazy and let his guard down? The answer to that question smacks Leonard hard in the face when his beloved Glennys is kidnapped by a cruel giant and taken to a mysterious kingdom in the clouds. Leonard calls on his old friends Merlin, Hubert, Ham, and a new friend, a young dragon named Taddy, to join him on this desperate rescue mission. Can this unlikely group of heroes save Glennys in time? Follow their path as they face giant-sized forces of evil and discover the awesome powers of bravery and friendship.



Elven King
is Leonard's most daring and exciting adventure yet. A battle of epic proportions awaits our hero as he and his allies rush to save the notorious Claws Crimson. Lord Crimson is the much-feared ruler of the mysterious Dark Elves and Leonard's own grandfather! But wait. Isn't the old elf a cruel and dangerous warlord? Why should he help someone as awful as that? Merlin assures Leonard that his grandfather isn't evil, just, uh...misunderstood. As Leonard and his friends travel through the dangerous worlds of Viking mythology, the stakes grow ever higher, and now Leonard must fight to not only save his grandfather's kingdom, but the family he never knew he had.

NEW BOOK! Wraith World (Ghost Star Adventures Book 2)


Happy to announce my YA sci-fi epic WRAITH WORLD (Ghost Star Adventures Book 2) Kindle Edition is now published and available for purchase! 

As you can see from the title, it's the second book in the Ghost Star series, and I have to say I'm pleased with how it turned out. It's a super fun story with peril-filled, space opera style action and dashes of humor throughout.

Here's the description:

“Impossible odds? Likelihood I’ll die? Okay, I’m in.”

The clock is ticking. The Imps, the most powerful military force in the Rex Cloud, are returning with literally everything they have, including a massive space fleet filled with battle-tested marines and every weapon of devastation in the known galaxy.

Everything.

After the destruction of the
Ghost Star, all Galen has left is a single fighter craft, a captured troop carrier, and the undeniable courage of his people. He knows that’s not enough, but there’s no way he’ll ever bend a knee to the malevolent Imperium.

Extinction event or not, he’d rather go down fighting for his family and his people than surrender to the coming darkness.

WRAITH WORLD is a bigger and far more dangerous sequel to GHOST STAR, the fast-paced YA space opera epic in the spirit of
Ender’s Game, Star Wars, and Firefly

If this sounds like your kind of read, I invite you to visit Wraith World's Amazon page HERE and share this post with friends, family, and other like-minded readers. Thanks!

Wraith World and the Teeny Tiny Pre-Order Window

While setting up the Amazon page for my new sci-fi epic WRAITH WORLD (Ghost Star Adventures Book 2), I discovered I had to set up a "pre-order" situation if I wanted to publish the ebook on a specific date as opposed to IMMEDIATELY! 

So, while the official date for publication is still on Tuesday, 03/28, there's now a teeny tiny window of opportunity to pre-order the Kindle edition of the book in the US. And you know what? I'm okay with that. Paperback version will be available soon. 

Check it out and feel free to pre-order WRAITH WORLD if you're so inclined. Thanks!

Title, Cover, and Description Reveal for Ghost Star 2

As promised, I bring you the title, cover, and description reveal for the sequel to my YA sci-fi adventure, Ghost Star

(drum roll or kazoo blast, please)

Title: WRAITH WORLD (Ghost Star Adventures Book 2) 

From Dictionary.com: A wraith is "a visible incorporeal spirit, especially one of a terrifying nature; ghost; phantom; apparition." The operative term being "especially one of a terrifying nature."

***

Cover: 


Isn't it cool? I just love it. Eagle-eyed readers will see it's the same spacecraft on the cover of both books, different angle and locale, of course. How could this possibly happen? Only my talented cover designer Keith Robinson and I will ever know!

***

Description:

“Impossible odds? Impending doom? I’m in.”

The clock is ticking. The Imps, the most powerful military force in the Rex Cloud, are returning with literally everything they have, including a massive space fleet filled with battle-tested marines and every weapon of devastation in the known galaxy.

Everything.

After the destruction of the Ghost Star, all Galen has left is a single fighter craft, a captured troop carrier, and the undeniable courage of his people. He knows that’s not enough, but there’s no way he’ll ever bend a knee to the malevolent Imperium.

Extinction event or not, he’d rather go down fighting for his family and his people than surrender to the coming darkness.

WRAITH WORLD is a bigger and far more dangerous sequel to GHOST STAR, the fast-paced YA space opera epic in the spirit of Ender's Game, Star Wars, and Firefly.

(cymbal crash)

Let's just say this one is a fun, thrilling, and action-packed adventure...and leave it at that. 

***

The plan is to publish Wraith World in early to mid March of 2023. I still have some editing to do, but I think that's a realistic goal. I'll keep you posted. Thanks to all my Ghost Star readers for your support and patience, especially those who sent me notes over the past few years wondering when (and if) there'd  be a sequel. 

Hang tight. It's almost here! 😊
