Under Two Moons Free Promotion
Just a quick post letting you know that Under Two Moons, the second book in my science fiction trilogy, is free on Kindle through Saturday, May 11, 2019. I am incredibly proud of this trilogy, which is primarily the story about a young woman who is coming to grips with living in a world where the natives have psychic abilities and some key animals are sentient. In fact, Under Two Moons introduces, Silence, a large feline, who has become one of my favorite characters. I really have enjoyed alternating writing in the the past world of Victorian San Francisco with this near future world (New Eden) that I helped create as part of the open source, multi-authored Paradisi Chronicles, so I am pleased to announce that I am currently working with my daughter, Ashley Rey, on the sequel to The Read more…

First of all, thanks to everyone who has bought the most recent book in my Victorian San Francisco mystery series, Scholarly Pursuits, and said such nice things about it in comments and reviews.

Update and Promotional Offerings
Update: A year ago, I had just published Pilfered Promises, the fifth book in my Victorian San Francisco Mystery Series, and I had just begun work on the sequel to my first full-length science fiction novel, Between Mountain and Sea. I hoped that I would get this book done and out within six months, so I could go back to doing the work on my next book in the continuing story of Annie and Nate and the O’Farrell Street Boarding house. I told myself, surely I could write a nice short book…maybe in the 60,000 to 70,000 word range…in that time, and still be able to live a balanced life (theoretically I am retired.) But of course, life and the writing muse had different plans. A series of trips (to conventions and visits with my daughter and grandsons), the constant Read more…
