This may seem not that big of a deal to some people, but for those who know anything about the business, they know that getting a hardback edition of a book produced is expensive and most small publishers never bother to offer one.  The fact that Contact Front has a hardback available now, the first one I have ever had available of any of my books, is a big event for me.  Even if no one else buys a copy, I definitely will!

Time is running out for nominations for the Dragon Awards. If you would like to nominate Contact Front for military science fiction, this is your last chance!

A little news that won’t make you want to throw your remote through the TV.

The fourth book in the Drop Trooper series will drop onto Amazon July 21st.  Book four will be the end of the war with the Tahni, but it won’t be the end of the series.  Coming sometime in November will be book FIVE in the series:  Home Front.  Because the end of one war can sometimes just be the beginning of the next…

Also coming next month, Aethon Books, my publisher for Wholesale Slaughter and the Drop Trooper series, will be re-releasing my Duty, Honor, Planet trilogy with AUDIOBOOKS available!  I’m really excited about this.  Duty, Honor, Planet was the first series I completed and although my style has changed and matured since they were written, I still enjoy those books more than anything else I’ve produced.  And if you haven’t read them yet, keep your eyes–and ears–open for Duty, Honor, Planet, coming in August!

Available for pre-order now!

Go to war or go to jail.

For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple.  He has no family, no friends, no place in the world…nothing to lose.  When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hitman, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy.

Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy.  Wrapped in an armored battlesuit, Cam finds purpose amidst the horror and destruction of the war, and the opportunity for a new sort of friends and family…if he can break the habits of a life spent alone, trusting no one.

And, if he can survive…
