New Release: "Little Green Men 3: Starship Losers"

The final book in the three-part Little Green Men is finally done: Starship Losers.

Once, Jeffrey Foster was just a cashier at a convenience store until an alien warlord invaded Earth. He helped to fight them off but they returned, and this time they mean business.
The alien Xenon Empire has sent a fleet of battleships to destroy Jeffrey Foster and the planet Earth, but Jeffrey is trapped in a rickety spaceship more likely to kill him than the Empire. The military training facility trying to teach him to become a hero has been destroyed. His ship's crew is fighting a duel to the death. Other than that, Jeffrey's goal of trying to save Earth from destruction is going great.
This is it, the final part of "Little Green Men!" Fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, "Red Dwarf," and other comedy science fiction will love this series.

I honestly didn't intend to go a year between releasing each part. The original plan was to release one every six months or so, but it turned out to be a lot harder to write than I thought. But it's finally finished. As I originally planned, I'll be putting them together into a single volume Little Green Men, which will be the sequel to Flying Saucers. There is a third book coming to complete the Flying Saucers trilogy, but I'm not making any promises after last time.

Also, check out the rest of the "Flying Saucers" series:

New Release: "Little Green Men #1: Better Homes and Aliens"

Those who read Flying Saucers and the followup Call Center of Doom may have been left with unanswered questions. What happened to Jeffrey Foster after he saved the world and left Earth?

All answers will be revealed. Gradually.

Today begins the launch of what will ultimately be the Flying Saucers Trilogy. There will be two three-part series released, the first of which is Little Green Men. Part one is live today, subtitled "Better Homes and Aliens." Here's the description:

Saving the world was just the beginning... 

Jeffrey Foster thought saving the world from an alien invasion would be the high point of his life. Now he just wants to find a nice place in the Galaxy to settle down. But he's unaware that the Xenon Empire plans to send its deadliest warlord back to destroy the Earth. Will Jeffrey turn his back on his home world? Or will he interrupt his favorite HoloVision show to save the day? And can he find some alien food that won't make him gag?

It's finally here! I'm proud to announce my latest novel, The Adventures of Couch Potato, is now available for download. Here's the summary:

New Release: "Operation: Masquerade"

To fight the alien menace, he must become one of them... 

When Jason Locke retired from the super-secret agency known as GAIA, he thought he could settle down and live a normal life. Then his old boss convinces him to return for one last mission that could end the war between the Terran League and the alien Chitt'k. But the mission involves trying to pass himself off as a Chitt'k and live among them to steal their most guarded possession: a living computer. Even as Locke risks it all to carry out his most dangerous mission yet, he's unaware that a conspiracy is working against him. Operation: Masquerade is a fast-paced action adventure that will carry you from the slums of a future Earth to a battle among the stars. Download your copy today.  

Since people didn't seem to mind the self-promotion last time, here's another release announcement. If you've been following my blog for the past year, you'll know this has been a long time coming. Operation: Masquerade is my first published pure sci-fi novel. I wrote Operation: Masquerade a few years ago, but it's been a difficult book to edit. Most of it takes place aboard an alien hive/spaceship which I wanted to feel other-worldly and unnatural. There were also a lot of fight scenes between highly skilled combatants which I wanted to describe in realistic detail - not just "he punched, she kicked, he punched again." The first draft turned out to be more like an outline, so I spent a long time fleshing it out. Then that second draft got deleted, so I had to start all over again. I hope you think the effort has been worth it. You can read the first few chapters for free in the Kindle sample at http://amzn.com/B00I9PRZF6.

Oh, and if you want to read my short story Life Sentence, expanded from the original 100-word story, it's been published at 365 Tomorrows.

Okay, enough advertising. I'll have more fun stuff tomorrow, promise.

New Release: "Call Center of Doom"

I try not to do too much self-promotion on this blog, but I thought the time was right to officially announce my novella, Call Center of Doom. Here's the summary:

Rygel Poxio is an alien who works in the deadliest call center in the universe. His job is to call Earthlings to ask if they would surrender to the Xenon Empire in exchange for a free car or iPod. When he has a crisis of conscience, Rygel must find a way to save the world.

New Release: "Man Overboard"

While I was working on TOONS, I also found time to edit and put together some of my short stories into one volume: Man Overboard And Other Short Stories. It includes four scifi short stories:

"Man Overboard" - A starship captain races to save his son who's fallen into another dimension.

Google Honors Douglas Adams With Doodle

Today, Google made all of us Douglas Adams fans happy by dedicating one of their doodles to him. Not only does it feature the usual Adams paraphernalia (a towel, tea, Eddie the shipboard computer), but it features an interactive copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that shows little animations from the Guide when you click on it. Awesome.

UPDATE: If you missed it, Google has archived the doodle at http://www.google.com/doodles/douglas-adams-61st-birthday

You can also check out Really Wild Things, my Hitchhiker's Guide fanfiction. The best part is that it's absolutely free. For now, Really Wild Things is available only in epub format (also here) and PDF format, but I'll be releasing it on other formats very soon. Stay tuned, enjoy, and don't panic.
