Nothing as exciting as a sale or anything, but I do have some news:

I will be writing The Afterlife Series Book 6 (as yet unnamed). I figured people knew this, but then I remember news about my life is not front page material, and when I casually mentioned this on Twitter many people showed shock. When I ran my Kickstarter campaign in April, I said if someone donated at the $1000 level, I’d write book six. That pledge came about an hour after I started the campaign. O_O So I’ve been brainstorming this summer, with just rough ideas, but finally this week the idea solidified. I have my plot, I just need to write it. So yes, book 6 is coming. That’s about all I can say.

Playing For Keeps 2: No Take Backs is coming, but I am waiting on a contract to get back to it.

I started a new book this week, one I’ve been mulling over for over a year now. Why start a new book when I have the above projects? Well, I am going to grad school. I was accepted into the University of Southern Maine Stonecoast MFA program, and will be attending in January. I need something to workshop, and this is the book I want to focus on. It’s called — nah, I won’t reveal the title yet — and will be set in the Mother Sponge universe.

To celebrate the release of WAR, the final book in The Afterlife Series, I dropped HEAVEN’S price to .99 everywhere it is sold!

The time has come to free the captured gods of this new world and to save Heaven and Earth from the forces of Chaos. Kate and Daniel know they have a big mess to clean up, and hope that their secrets never come out. But their companions are gods, and their powers may allow them to learn how much of the troubles of the world were caused by Kate and Daniel themselves. Available now via Kindle, Nook, and epub from Smashwords and directly from the Murverse Store (all e-formats):

Book IV in The Afterlife Series is now available!

Daniel is exiled and the new Earth is in trouble. In his efforts to restore Kate, a new world is born out of the Wasteland and the two have to make their way in it. The issue of the besieged Heaven and Earth are never far from their minds as they explore this odd new world.

At Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and here at the Murverse Store.

I’ve been crazy busy this month with writing, and forgot to announce stuff I wrote a while ago!

My first pro sale to the anthology Cabinet of Curiosities came out this week!

After the death of Dr. Thackery T. Lambshead at his house in Wimpering-on-the-Brook, England, a remarkable discovery was unearthed: the remains of an astonishing cabinet of curiosities. Many of these artifacts, curios, and wonders related to anecdotes and stories in the doctor’s personal journals. Others, when shown to the doctor’s friends, elicited further tales from a life like no other. Thus, in keeping with the bold spirit exemplified by Dr. Lambs­head and his exploits, we now proudly present highlights from the doctor’s cabinet, reconstructed not only through visual representations but also through exciting stories of intrigue and adventure. A carefully selected group of popular artists and acclaimed, bestselling authors has been assembled to bring this cabinet of curiosities to life.

An independent follow-up to the cult classic The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to Eccentric & Discredited Diseases, a Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award finalist…

Check your friendly local book store, or Amazon, Indiebound, or B&N.

Don’t forget, we’re also having a launch party on July 30 at Fullsteam Brewery in Durham, NC for this book! Anne and Jeff VanderMeer, Ekaterina Sedia, and more will be there! See more info on the Facebook event.

I’d been announcing with the latest Afterlife ebook went live, and failed to do it for July! July is Earth month. I’m also letting you download Earth for FREE in July, just check the store, purchase the book, and you will get a full refund after checkout. (Frankly, I’m afraid of lowering the price – I hear a certain Goliath online seller freaks if you sell lower than they do…. so I’ll just give you your money back!)

Recently deceased friends Kate and Daniel have been promoted, and are now in charge of renewing the Earth for a New Age. However they haven’t had a lot of training in their new jobs, they have several forces against them, and their own friendship is on the rocks as their attempts to work together makes things even worse.

FREE from the Murverse Store, or you could buy for $2.99 from online retailers such as Amazon, B&N, or Smashwords.

(Coming in August: Wasteland!)

Lastly, if you missed Marco and the Red Granny when it was podcast, you can read it over at Suicide Girls! They’ve been serializing it over there, and they’re almost at the end! (For the record, SG is a pinup site. My fiction pages are just fine, but it may be blocked to you, and you don’t want to go farther than my stuff if you’re not in a location for comfortable viewing of teh nekkid.)

Whew! I think that’s it. Check out the books!

Amazon and Smashwords have Hell available for download! The subsequent titles Earth, Wasteland, and War will appear at the beginning of the next three months.

(Kobo and Barnes and Noble will soon feature the book as well, but that’s going a bit slower.)

Yeah, it launched last week, but I had to fuss over the website first. Anyway, after the immense success of my Kickstarter campaign, my ebook designer and artists have been working hard to get the books ready, and Heaven is finally ready! Hell will launch June 1, and then the rest in monthly increments.

Heaven (book 1) is available now via Kindle, Nook, and Epub (soon).
