Yeah, if you poke around John Scalzi's site you'll see that he has a lot of interesting things to say about the craft of writing and on being an author.

So this is pretty cool. The Kindle Press team notified me that Amazon is running a promo for Ghost Star via Science Fiction and Fantasy Kindle book deals. Yay! The promotion is in the US marketplace and the book will be on sale for $0.99 starting 7/1/19 and running through 7/31/19.

In semi-related news, Ghost Star has been a top 90 bestseller in Science Fiction (Kindle Store) for the past several weeks and currently ranks at #61. Double yay!

If you're looking to save a couple of bucks on a fun, sci-fi adventure (or know someone who might be), CLICK HERE. C'mon, it's only $0.99! 😊
