SO I just posted this over on facebook, but...

Big book signing tomorrow at Toadstool Bookshop in Keene New Hampshire. If you can make it, I'd love to see you there. Starts at 2pm, and I'll be reading from either Colony Lost or Fyelrath & the Coven's Curse at about 4:30pm.





I've just posted Chapter 2 of The Phone over on Patreon for Trinity members and above. That's $3.33/month for access to my works in progress as I write them, and credits in my next published work. You get more, for a few more dollars. Please check out my Patreon page and consider becoming a patron:

And speaking of Patreon, I've added the new goal of releasing entries of The Last Resort when I get to $400/month in patron pledges. That's the new Adrian's Undead Diary book.

Get some?

Happy Friday, all.

Yep, I'm giving away three copies to a random person who signs up to follow my Amazon author page.

That's it. Just gotta follow me and you're entered. Please share the giveaway with anyone who is into Young Adult novels, or sci-fi/dystopian stuff.

May the odds, be ever in your favor.

I am elated to share with everyone that audible has purchased the worldwide English language audio rights to the first two books in the Dry Earth series.

The Phone is book one in the series, and will be released under my YA pen name, W.J. Orion. Audible is looking at a release date somewhere in March-ish, and eBook and audio will be simultaneous.

I'm very excited to give everyone a new world of mine to enjoy.

From The Phone by W.J. Orion. (my YA Pen name)

They came from above the sky.
They took the water.
Then they left.


Mostly.


More coming soon. Book releases on 3/26, and you can pre-order the Kindle version on Amazon RIGHT. NOW.

The invaders came down to Earth in their ships, and multi-legged battle armor and we had no way to stop them from taking the water. Made sense. They looked like massive crabs, after all. The war was over in days.

Now, those left behind eke out a parched existence in the scorched rubble, avoiding the hunter-killer teams of crabs as they scour Earth for whatever they deem valuable.

Sixteen year old Yasmine Whitten is an expert at navigating the wastes; born into this world, she not only survives; she thrives. But she's got a secret; her mother's old cell phone.

Kept intact for 13 years of alien invasion, and kept charged by a tiny solar panel, these two relics of a dead-world give her sanity, and a host of tools that allow her to stay ahead of the scavengers, both human and crab alike. It's a flashlight and a camera, and when she can't sleep, she can comfort herself in the cold desert by looking at pictures of her mother and father, and by reading their old text messages to one another.
She's doing well enough, for a teenager on her own in a ravaged world.

Until the phone rings.

The Phone is author W.J. Orion's first young adult science fiction novel. First in a planned trilogy of Dry Earth books, it's suitable for teenagers and adults alike.
