July 2014 Newsletter
Hello Everyone,
An early happy July 4th to my U.S.A. readers.
I celebrate my birthday this month. I think I will go to the
casino to celebrate it. That sounds like fun :)
On the writing front:
“Toy Soldiers” releases on July 29th. I loved writing this book. It mixes barbarian
warriors, a touch of sci-fi and gladiators. The toy soldiers and slaves are taken from
three primitive planets: Atosia, Verunia and Nyisia. The slave traders of
Tanasia value these primitive people because they feel they are easy to
control. The planets of Tanasia and Endecia are technologically advanced and are always on the brink of war with
each other for one reason or another. The citizens of Endecia feel that not
only the toy soldier battles are barbaric, but that all slavery is wrong. The
citizens of Tanasia however see this very differently. The toy soldier battles
have become big business.
When writing this book I got to create five worlds, which I
simply love doing. Plus I got to make up the rules for the toy soldier battles.
The characters in this book lead me through this story. I’m really looking
forward to sharing this story with you.
I’m working on the next book in the Master Series “Chains of
Apollo.” This book has been an emotional
roller coaster ride to write. Master Dante wants to quiet the storm in his
submissive Apollo before it rages out of control. If you have been reading my
Master Series you know how volatile Apollo can be. This book will be released in Sept.
