Cover Reveal – UnCommon Bodies

Coming November 24, 2015

Step right up to the modern freakshow — We have mermaids, monsters, and more. You won’t be disappointed, but you may not get out alive.

UnCommon Bodies presents a collection of 21 beautifully irreverent stories which blend the surreal and the mundane. Together, the authors explore the lives of the odd, the unbelievable, and the impossible. Imagine a world where magic exists, where the physical form has the power to heal or repulse, where a deal with the devil means losing so much more than your soul.

Cover Reveal – Sarfer

Hugh Howey Lives released a few days ago and those that have read the story know that it does not take place in a Hugh Howey Universe.  Today I’m announcing a story that does.  A story that takes place in the world of Sand.

Well here it is – Sarfer

Sarferfullcover

Sarfer is the story of Mattie, a sailmaker’s son. When the great wall of Springston fell, he lost his father. But his father’s words resonated, “When you fall down, get back up.” So Mattie persevered and rode the wind to the brigands to become a courier, transporting anything anywhere, no questions asked.

This is an intriguing story and as soon as it is ready to share, I will be sending out ARCS (Advanced Reader Copies) to everyone who signs up to my newsletter. And that’s not all – I am giving a way some signed copies and some posters too. This is a story that will stimulate the imagination and I can’t wait for you to read it.
