June Update
Greetings, everyone.
‘Tis almost time for the next installment of the Voided Man to go out into the world and play. Book 9 - The Fields of Glass Next Door - comes out on Sunday.
The first third of the book goes back to the beginning and tells the story of how John and Annabelle Dawson got together in the first place. It starts on the night they met, goes through the speech and the arrest that started the series, and continues from Annabelle’s point of view through the years she is incarcerated, gives birth to Cassie, and ultimately escapes the Kinetic War in the Valkyrie-198.
The last two thirds of the book pick up with the discovery I won’t name (no spoilers here for anyone who hasn’t read as far in the series as book 8) that ended the last installment. I kind of cliff-hangered everyone with that, I know, but book 9 fully resolves that storyline and uses it to start a new adventure featuring a new villain and much on probabilities and parallel universes and unusual intelligences.
Book 10 – The Signal and the Ribbon - will be available for preorder on Sunday as well, and even if you don’t usually preorder, you can still see the debut of the new cover on Amazon. It’s a space station in the vicinity of a pulsar, and it turned out great.
Here at Voided Man headquarters, I’ve just finished the draft of Book 11, and I’m taking most of a week off from writing new material to do editing and also to sketch out the basic plan for book 12. Those will both be out before Christmas.
A last note – Amazon selected the original book to be featured in an online event on July 8. It will be $0.99 in the US that day, and if you know anyone who might enjoy the series but hasn’t started it yet, please consider letting them know about the discount on the 8th.
I hope your summer is going well.
Thank you for taking an interest in my writing.

Greetings.Aside from a longtime colleague who went to KU, I don't have a connection to Lawrence. It just seemed like a good place for a 30th Century showdown.
Thanks for reading!

One curious question- do you have a connection to Lawrence, KS? It seems like you’ve written it into a few places in your books and I’m curious. I grew up there and it was fun seeing Lawrence get some mentions.
