David Guenther's Blog: Gray Panther Science Fiction - Posts Tagged "space-opera"

These are a couple of my most favorite genres. The question I have is does anyone else have trouble distinguishing between the two?

Finally finished my latest manuscript and have sent it off to my editor. Hopefully in three weeks it will be ready for press. I also received my cover from my artist and it looks fantastic.
For those who have followed the Gray Panther Trilogy (Battle for Earth, Earth's Revenge, Dixie) you will be familiar with his ambition, pride, and sense of honor. With the war over, new problems come about as everyone tries to go back to their lives.
Short Blade was sold into slavery by his father as a child, to give him a better life than he could have on his own planet as a runt. Rescued by humans and excelling in their navy, going from lowest enlisted to exalted Chief Petty Officer, and finally a Lieutenant (JG) the war ends and he's on his own.
What's a cat got to do for work?

After a few technical problems the book is now an audiobook. It always feels weird listening to a book being read the first time. After that it just feels comfortable as I relax and enjoy it. I have another book that will be out in either the end of August or the beginning of September. It is a compilation of science fiction, space opera and fantasy stories.
Thank you for following me and my work.

As a test, for the rest of September, my Science Fiction book prices have all been cut in half or more. My book that came out this week, The Last Deployment A collection of Space Stories, is only 99¢
Please share this with any scifi readers you know.

By the end of the month my new novel, Gray Panthers Invasion will be out. Sunday it should be on Amazon for pre-sales (ASIN: B074QTT9CD) Here's the description:
The Gray Panthers saga continues when the Nyeusi, a previously unknown species begin a campaign to conquer the galaxy. The invaders have the Libra Alliance on the ropes barely holding onto the last stronghold of the Libra Alliance. The commander of the Gray Panthers, Dan Daniels must decide if he’ll commit to going to war to save an old enemy or wait and see if the war comes to him. Can old enemies put aside their hatred and distrust to fight alongside each other? Will the League of Planets and the citizens of Dixie come to the rescue of their enemy, trusting the Gray Panthers judgment? Can Short Blade deliver the primitive warriors from a backwards pre-industrial world in time to make the difference between victory and defeat?
You can see the absolutely awesome cover created by Hendrik Sanabria on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/69814...

I would really appreciate if you all could add my books to the Listopia for Military Science Fiction Series and perhaps any others that you think appropriate. As an "indie" author one of the few resources I have are my readers. Thank you all again for reading my works, therefore encouraging me to continue.
I was also wondering if a series on Short Blade would be well received.
