Shadows of the Past: The Great War of the Worlds #1
Now on Sale!
It's 1915, twenty years after the Martian invasion chronicled in H.G. Wells War of the Worlds failed. The aliens left behind advanced technology and weapons, and now humanity is on the brink of a catastrophic war. Caught in the middle of the chaos are two unlikely heroes: Emil Zimmerman, a young German soldier, and James Brogan, an introverted radio engineer.
Shadows of the Past is a science fiction, alternate history, survival adventure. Do you love War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells? Then this thrilling journey of humanity grappling with the legacy of Martian technology is the thrilling ride you're looking for.
Clouds of the Future: The Great War of the Worlds #2 is available for pre-order!
What happened after the Martian Attack chronicled in War of the Worlds ended?
The aliens succumbed to Earth's microbes, but left their weapons scattered across the globe.
Governments worked hard to take control over these deadly technologies, so they could keep it out of the hands of the wrong people, and use it for themselves.
They failed.

Playing around with this format for blog posts and FB page statuses. I think it works for accountability.

Rough start to the morning with a sick dog. Hopefully some Pepto and cuddles will do the trick. 
Still feeling a little crappy myself, so it’ll be a slow day with a focus on a short story to use as a reward for signing up to my list, and more plans on where to publish my other short stories and novellas. Patreon? Here? We’ll see.
On Deck: Short stories. Some social media plans.
Inbox: Sad. Very sad.
Listening: Radio Paradise rock mix.
Reading: Nearly done with The Traitor God.
Last Watched: Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Surprisingly good.
Condition: Ugh.
