Welcome to August! Who knows what's still to come this year?   To keep you going, or keep you distracted, or perhaps you're lucky enough to be relaxing on a beach somewhere, check out the plethora of promos and giveaways here. Sci-fi, horror, and cyberpunk.  On the Audible front, Flames of Apathy will shortly be with ACX awaiting for their approval. About a million emails later and STILL waiting on Neon Sands. I'm beyond frustration now, just waiting for them to get their arse into gear. Maybe next week!

Hire A Muse, Get A Nobel Prize Ex Machina meets A Beautiful Mind in this mind-bending sci-fi thriller. On the verge of abandoning his life-long project, an obsessive physicist hires the innovative service of an android Muse to help him finish his work. But when things start to go missing from his life, he must learn that not all is worth sacrificing on the altar of science before he has nothing left to live for.

THE BIG ONE! NEON SANDS BOXSET FREE!

As forewarned last week, the Neon Sands trilogy is free from 24-28 February! So what are you waiting for? GRAB IT NOW! Even if you already have it, or have read the books individually, I would love it if you could add the boxset to your list, as it would help bump it up the ranks. The higher it gets, the more eyes see it! And as mentioned before, I'd love to get this boxset into a bookbub advertisement ASAP! And for that, I need reviews. So, how about a little Quid Pro Quo? Eh? Love ya!

!ALL THREE FREE!

What's that? You want more? Well, I don't want to share all the other promos, because only the above one matters this week... BUT, a lot of last week's are still active if you want to check them out.

***

On Mars, blood is the same color as dirt. And dirt can hide an awful lot of sins.

When Allison Jiang wins a ticket to be a reality show contestant on the first manned trip to Mars, she’s certain all her dreams have come true. As she steps into the rust bucket spaceship complete with flashing lights and televised social media centers, she suddenly realizes this isn’t quite her dream; but then fear and anxiety are what the drugs in the sleeping compartments are for. In the high-stakes game of reality show TV where never-ending drama is a requirement, it’s possible to pay the ultimate price. Be careful what you wish for. Fame never comes without a cost. NOVELETTE. GENRE: Science Fiction.

Whole bunch o' freebies!

So this week is a kicker for freebies. Scroll down and you'll see plenty of links to promos currently active - and stop here if you still don't have Neon Sands Book One on your reader, this is FREE today only (Monday 3 Feb). 

Since revising the novel and adding an extra 15k words, I've been getting more and more favourable reviews for it, so there's never been a better time to begin!

BUT THERE'S MORE!

Two new shorts have been added to the blog - first, The Order, the short story competition entry with Obsession, Mason and Fantasy as the keywords. Read it here now.

The Risen Part II Prologue

In addition, The Risen Part II's bloody prologue has also been uploaded. Delve into Ffion's world of isolation, bodily changes, and malting. And if that grabs your interest, it's on preorder now for the special price of 0.99. 

Viewing pleasures

It's all go at work and with the novel writing, so haven't caught much. I started the Picard series, and though I will watch it all, I'm finding much of it forced character-wise, plot-wise, all-wise! I guess I miss the episodic nature of Trek. And good writing. O.O. Speaking of which, I thought Uncut Gems was a cut above, a force of nature that ramped up the stress along the way. It was a good example of how to have your characters make stupid decisions - under different circumstances each of Sandler's decisions could seem contrived and forced to cause conflict for the film to ride on, but by the end you realise this is the character. He is Sandler-esque despite himself, but having watched him in the actor's roundtable and knowing the effort he put in to research, you can call it one of his best performances.

Leave No One Behind

For warriors, those words and the meaning behind them have been sacred law, ever since the first human picked up a stone in anger. For Captain Shane Mallory, United Nations Air & Space Command, the spirit of those words rings no less true now than it did then.

Captain Mallory and the Special Operations soldiers assigned to her gunship have just completed a cake mission, and all are looking forward to some well-earned down time. But when a desperate distress call comes in over the communications wave, those sacred words—leave no one behind—will truly be put to the test. DOWNLOAD NOW

Neon Sands Trilogy - Goodreads

Feeling oddly satisfied after working out the arc for my characters in the Neon Sands trilogy - and with that, the titles! We have:

Book 1: Neon Sands: A Trilogy

Book 2: Valley of Ion: The Neon Sands Trilogy

Book 3: Subterranean Wasteland: The Neon Sands Trilogy

This is the first trilogy in the Neon Series, with 4-6 and 7-9 also loosely planned in my head. As we go through the series we'll be touching on a variety of genres: we begin with scifi and punk, with a dash of dystopia and a mysterious post-apoc vibe, perhaps crossing into serious cyberpunk and... I don't want to give too much away. The story will be epic and well worth the books I have planned. The first one is on Goodreads now if you want to hop on board. Check out the blurb and cover below and then head over to Goodreads to add it to your shelf...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36371205-neon-sands

Sand like powder smothers the decimated planet; those that eke an existence scavenge and utilise old technologies they barely understand, wanderers drifting from outpost to outpost. But the sand hides secrets, and when it shifts, questions unasked and allegiances long forged are challenged. What else is the sand hiding? A sci-fi/punk adventure in an inhospitable landscape, Neon Sands is the opening book in an epic series that will explore Man’s technological and innate potential, and the search for hope when all looks bleak.
