Drafts Written

I've got the first draft done for both In the Service of the Prince and another collection of essays, Worlds of Wonder.  I'll probably draft the last of the In the Service trilogy before I get those two revised and published, though.

In the Service of the Queen - Free Ebook

In the Service of the Queen, the first novel in a trilogy, is out now, free to download, read or share, here.  (You'll need to create an account to do more than look at the cover art, though.)  (Don't let the "first in a trilogy" part deter you either; it does not end in a cliffhanger.)

A world of seven magical Talents, and a young man in a family of forester-beekeepers discovers he has one of them.  Not only that, he is a Savant, who can pick up the thoughts of others if he is looking at their faces.

There is tension within the realm that he knows little of.  What will he do with his Talent?  Who can he help?  Who will he serve?

Someone he never would have dreamed of.

Thresholds - Free Ebook

A world of heat and heavy storms.  A depopulated North America, with no working government, and almost no employment.  Too much technology long lost and unattainable.  How can Dante and the few people he's acquainted with have a future?  Where can they go?  What can they do?

And can they do so in a hot, hot-tempered world, in the wake of the mysterious apparitions that have begun to appear?

A surprisingly heartwarming tale of surviving and surmounting difficulties in a frightening world.

This free ebook is available here - but I have to warn you, to read or download books from Gutenberg's self-publishing site apparently requires logging into an account there.
