Well, guys, it looks like I’ve gone and published another book! Star Wanderer: Deliverance (Part VIII) is now live on Amazon, Smashwords, and Kobo, and will soon be up on Barnes & Noble, Sony, and the iBookstore. In the next couple of months, I’ll probably put it up on Google Play and DriveThru Fiction as well.
This is the eighth Star Wanderers book, and more or less brings the series to a close. That doesn’t mean that I’m finished with this universe or these characters, though. I plan to bring a lot of them back with Sons of the Starfarers, a spinoff series that will follow Mariya’s brothers, Isaac and Aaron, as they fight to keep the Outworlds free from Gaian Imperial domination. That series will also tie everything in with the Gaia Nova novels, and show the origins of the Hameji. So be sure to look out for those!
Also, I’m happy to report that the print editions of Outworlder (Part I), Fidelity (Part II), Sacrifice (Part III), and Homeworld (Part IV) are now available on Amazon! Each costs about $5, and is between 75 to 100 pages. The print versions for Dreamweaver (Part V), Benefactor (Part VI), Reproach (VII), and Deliverance (Part VIII) will hopefully be out before the end of the month!
A note about the print editions: I’m currently using the same covers as the ebooks, with the generic NASA space art. However, I recently made an agreement with Derek Murphy of CreativIndie Covers to redo the book covers for the entire series. This includes the print versions, so once I have the new covers, I will replace them and the old versions will be unavailable.
If you want the best looking print book, it’s probably best to wait. Derek did a really awesome job on Part I: Outworlder, and I expect that the rest of the covers will be just as stunning. However, since there’s only going to be a limited number of the original versions, there is a chance that they might become more valuable if these books really take off. I can’t make any promises about that, since I really have no idea, but if you would like to get the original versions, they will only be up for a couple of months as I gradually replace them. I will have matching versions for each book in the series, though, so if you want to collect a complete set with the original cover art, you’ll definitely be able to do that.
That just about does it. As always, thanks for reading!
