It's alive!

Sorry I haven't been more involved here on Goodreads. Covid has limited my time pretty dramatically the past couple of years, so I had to trim back on where I could spend time.

That being said, I'm being interviewed on the Written Undead live feed at 2pm eastern today over on Facebook.

Come jump into the group if you'd like to watch!

Zeud & the Prophets of Atomic Fire has released!

Dragon versus walking atomic bombs.

There’s also some fairies, a baku, a minotaur, a space port and Chernobyl.

Audiobook is out now from Audible Studios, eBook is out now
from me, and print will be out like… any minute, once Amazon gets off their tokhis and releases it.

My job is done here. Enjoy the newest release in the world of The Reemergence.

#micdrop#newrelease#urbanfantasy#dragons#amwriting#amreading#novel#reemergence#Tesser

Zeud; one of seven and the dragon of flame has taken Abraham and Spoon into her island retreat off the coast of Greece to give the younger Tapper agent time to heal from the grievous wounds he suffered in London. On the outside, Abe seems to be progressing well. On the inside….

But then the news tells of a massive explosion in the Quarantine Zone surrounding Fukushima, Japan. This explosion caused damage to the ruins, but somehow… removed all the radiation from the reactor catastrophe, and left behind the signs of powerful magic.

Abraham and Spoon bring Zeud to Japan to investigate, and are dragged into a unfolding catastrophe at the hands of those responsible for the Fukushima incident. You see… they were trying to fix Japan’s scar with their magic, but in the process, unleashed something never before combined on Earth;

The power of magic, mixed with the power of the atom.

Time is short before what they have done will destroy far more than Japan, and it’s a race for the two Tapper agents, and the Dragon of Fire to stop them.

Can the dragon of fire fight a nuclear bomb?

The Phone is here.

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. 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 monsters 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.

Follow this author please

He wrote a cool story, and he's a great person.

That deserves at least a follow on Goodreads.

Pre-order for WJ Orion's The Phone!

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 coming!

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.
