Novel 2 Coming!!!

The second novel in the series is almost ready for publishing. I've reviewed the first proof and it looks good. We are working on the cover, which will follow the same layout as the first novel.

Novel two concludes this first story of the series and sets up the rest of the series.

Check the web site www.innervoices-novels.com for an excerpt from novel two and to pre-order it.

Update July 23, 2008

It's been a busy two months. I've had three signing sessions. The first was at a friends home-business open house. She kindly provided myself and two other authors with table space to sell our books. Although it wasn't a heavily attended evening, I did sell one copy and had a lot of fun.

The second signing was in Stittsville, a small town near here. My book publisher (Baico Books) arranged an afternoon of "Meet The Authors In The Park" outing. We provided our own tables and chairs and he looked after getting the advertising. Unfortunately (or fortunately from some perspectives) it was a hot day, so we didn't get a big turn-out. It was, however, successful enough that plans are being made to do it again next year, and I'm looking forward to that.

The big signing, however, was in Toronto at the Polaris 22 Science Fiction Convention. I had a table there for the three days. This convention is one of the biggest in the Eastern Canada/North-eastern US area and drew people from as far away a Florida. While it is mainly focused on the visual media, it does have a fair written media presence. I was fortunate enough to spend Saturday evening with two published authors who had been brought in by Indigo Books for signings. I sold twenty books there and passed out many cards, so I hope to have some more orders through the web site.

There will be more news on book two in the near future, so come on back! :-)

New Spiritual Science Fiction Series

"Inner Voices" is a spiritual science fiction series of novels set about three hundred years in the future in a world radically changed by geological upheavals. In the first novel - "The Awakening" - twelve soldiers from our near future are awakened from a five year stasis sleep to discover that their world is long gone and civilization has reverted to an agrarian state. They also discover that they are to defend a secluded spiritual village from and invading totalitarian empire.

The story follows the spiritual and personal growth of the soldiers as they come to grips with their losses, and the conflicts and growth of the villagers as they attempt to incorporate the almost diametrically opposite philosophies of the soldiers into their own.
