I finally finished my latest book. It will be released May 3rd. I will be getting back to the Gray Panther series. April 1 1944 San Francisco, Californina. Reports of strange lights in the sky were no joke. They were, in fact, alien invaders. The lights could be seen every night, darting through the sky for days after. After the initial war nerves were put to rest. Folks started calling the strange lights “Foo Fighters” after the cartoon strip.
On April 9, 1944, a strange dense fog rolled in over the city. That’s when the Walinzi invaders attacked under the cover of the fog, unseen until they were on shore. They easily wiped out the mighty gun batteries protecting the Presidio and the city. The invaders continued on unintentionally cutting off the head of the army when they destroyed the Western Defense Command and Fourth Army Headquarters, which were responsible for coordinating the defenses of the entire West Coast.
Once all contact was lost with the Presidio and all the units assigned there, the 183 Regimental Combat Team “Fire Fighters” were brought in to investigate. The unit whose responsibility was a mobile fighting force in case of invasion by the Japanese. Once they entered San Francisco, they were attacked by fearless, rabid five foot tall crabs intent only on eating. Their masters, the Walinzi, had no compassion or fear as their “pets” devoured an Army and a city of innocent civilians. The 183rd prewarned were able to halt the invader's advance. That’s when the Battle for San Francisco got decidedly hotter. https://www.amazon.com/Aliens-Fog-DAV...

The third book in the series Infected World is now out! Zombie Deserter continues the story started with Zombie Airman and Zombie Lieutenant. The book does a great job closing out the trilogy but stands on its own as a solo read. Here's teh book description:
Major General William ‘Willy Pete’ Peters tries to rein in the new president who wants to lock up survivors who will not support him. The President is also demanding the military stretch itself even thinner by liberating more towns and cities, and by eliminating loyal military personnel who are infected but capable of honorably performing their duties.
Lieutenant Caleb White, deployed to Arizona, is forewarned by the General and released from duty. He uses the opportunity to attempt to return to his home in Texas to find his family.
Lieutenant Gloria ‘Grits’ Alban works under a major who happens to be the brother of the man she killed after being raped. He immediately sends out a patrol to find her and bring her back for elimination. Grits deserts, joining Caleb on his trip to Texas with plans to continue on to Georgia to find her own family.
Major General Peters’ plan to use survivors of the 10th Special Forces group hinges on locating the two lieutenants. Their special abilities are vital to attack the aliens responsible for the infection and stop a further invasion.

Sent off my manuscript to be checked over, and waiting for the cover art work for Zombie Deserter: Infected World Book 3.
I already have a narrator lined up for a timely release hopefully.
Zombie Lieutenant: Infected Worl Book 2 audiobook should be released any day now!
I've already started re-attacking the next book in the Gray Panther Series, Resistance. This will be the last book of the series. There may be a spin off.
I'm planning/researching an new fresh alien invasion series after the GP series.
Thank you for reading my blog. If you'd like to be a 'red shirt' in one of my books just let me know.

Zombie Lieutenant is doing pretty dang good. I guess that's a validation of Zombie Airman with all the great reviews it received. Check it out today. Zombie Lieutenant

Zombie Lieutenant will be out on Jan 28. it is available for pre-order now. https://amzn.to/2SVq5k7
Zombie Lieutenant
When the infection hit the world, it was originally airborne, impervious to any filters or barriers. Initially eighty to ninety percent of the world’s population, those with RH positive blood, was infected. The disease was then further spread by the infected through transmission of bodily fluids, usually through bites and scratches.
Major population centers quickly fell to the infected; only those areas with sparse populations were able to mount a defense against the infected. The remaining survivors began to band together in pockets in small towns and the countryside.
The largest contingent of survivors were those evacuated to the desolate state of Wyoming. Military units and civilians answered the call from Air Force Major General Peters, senior surviving general of the entire military.
From the small town of Douglas in the center of Wyoming the military has begun to clear out the infected as the first step to recover the country.
The next vital step is to link up and organize with survivors throughout the country to setup outposts while there are still survivors. Freshly minted Lt Caleb White will lead the first mission to establish contact with a band of survivors in Arizona. Unfortunately, the infected are only one of the many dangers in the apocalypse.

I went in a different direction for my latest book Zombie Airman I had an idea for this book for a while and finally finished it. I hope that the folks reading it enjoy it as much as I did writing it. Please feel free to share this with any fans of the genre you know. Here's the description:

The eve of April Fool’s Day 2029 was the start of the plague around the world. By sunrise, less than fifteen percent of the world’s population was uninfected. The airborne disease is invulnerable to any air filter or disease barrier. The fifteen percent uninfected are still vulnerable to the disease when spread via bodily fluids. These are the stories of those just trying to survive.
Airman First Class Caleb White, dorm rat, is burned out on monitoring computer displays eight hours a day in a small cubicle in a large cubicle farm. With few interests off duty; bar hopping, taking care of his beloved truck, and managing to find trouble. A spur of the moment decision sets him up for a night of adventure and more excitement than he ever had in the Air Force.
Major General William ‘Willy Pete’ Peters, has a rotten night. Preparing for his third divorce, he wakes to find his one night stand trying to eat him. She ends up with a fireplace poker sticking out of her skull as he learns that’s the least of his problems. By morning, he comes to the realization he is the senior ranking survivor of all the services.
Lieutenant Gloria ‘Grits’ Alban awakens among dozens of corpses on a bridge. Her uniform is torn and saturated in blood. She has no memory of the long night. She joins her fellow survivors and finds it hard to accept their stories of zombies the night before. Equally hard to believe is the new abilities she’s slowly learning to use. https://amzn.to/2N4jXU2

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.
