As I write this, I've received a proof copy of my latest novel...

A moment ago, I was holding a paperback copy of Bigfoot is Not Your Friend. My first book was published in 2012 by a small press. As then, it never gets old holding the first copy, proof or not, in my hands. Nine years later I've my twenty-first book approaching release.

I’ll be re-reading it cover to cover, looking for anything out of place. I already plan to have the back cover text reformatted to create a sharper look. On the proof the book description’s margin’s look too close to the edges, which I’ll also change. Another advantage is I’ve been working on the sequel and another read through will help me on some of the plot points I’m exploring and bring some of the minor characters introduced in Bigfoot is Not Your Friend to the forefront a bit.

I am offering Bigfoot is Not Your Friend as an advance readers copy and I am looking for beta readers to review and offer me feedback before publication. The review link for Bigfoot is Not Your Friend offers a free sample of the book (which is novella length). The book itself is one of the longest I’ve written. There is a brief application process involved, if you are interested in applying for a review copy.

I’m currently also offering this review opportunity as part of a group reviewing promo: Fantasy and Science Fiction Feast: Support Authors by Reading and Reviewing Books, which you may want to check out for other opportunities to read an advance copy of a forthcoming book.

Now, news of free stories. First, my novel Dare 2 Believe is free on Kindle, March 16-20. It's the first of currently three books in the series. The Dragon’s Curse (novella), which is a lead-in to my Highmage’s Plight and Hands of the Highmage series, is featured in #AlienSeasons Science Fiction and Fantasy Giveaway. Dare 2 Believe is related to all these stories in a most unusual way. Check it out to find out how. Just know having read at least the first book of Highmage's Plight gives you another level of insight to Dare's backstory (and Dare 2 Believe is a contemporary, well, fantasy).

My novella, Last Knight, prequel to Knight of the Broken Table is available for free in the Merry March Science Fiction and Fantasy Giveaway. Knight of the Broken Table and Nowhere to Go But Mars are also now available in the promo Spring into Sci-Fi Fantasy Books on Kindle Unlimited!
