Can't Wait for ALO?: PREVIEW

  • Can’t wait until December 2nd to read ALO?
  • Curious but want to know more before you download?


Good news! My good friends at Smashwords have made the first twenty percent available for reading in a variety of formats. So head on over. Take a peek. Get absorbed in Gideon’s story.

Hey, and while you’re there, check out my Smashwords Author Interview, or read one of my other books!


(Just a head’s up, because ALO contains significant amounts of adult situations and language, you have to deactivate the adult filter, located near the top right, to see the book on Smashwords.)

The ALO Pre-Order. (Updated Links)

You guys! A Land Overflowing is ready for pre-orders!

I spent a good chunk of my time yesterday finalizing the formatting. If you're not familiar, ebook retailers have very specific requirements that must be followed to the letter. If I have an hour to spend, I'd much rather be writing than making sure all the paragraphs are coded as indented rather than block, but hey, it's got to be done. 

If you don't see ALO yet at your favorite retailer, please keep checking. Sometimes it takes a day or two, or even a week for the distribution process. But I promise it's in route. Below are some links to the most popular retailers. But first, let me tell you a little more about the book!


Gideon Groebel is barely old enough to remember what the bees looked like and only knows about the Dieoff thanks to the internet. Suddenly finding himself in possession of the only known hive in the country—and hunted for it—he seeks sanctuary on a small farmhouse off the road, which only lands him as prime suspect in the pipeline bombing. For protection, he strikes a deal with a local deputy to gather evidence on the real terrorist. But when his efforts are sidelined by a forbidden romance and an old man trying to save his soul, things get stickier.



And now, the links:

ALO: FIRSTLOOK

Drumroll please. The title of my next novel is...

A Land Overflowing

I know it sounds kind of strange without knowing more, so: it takes place ten years or so after the honeybees go extinct (think the not-too-distant future) and starts off by referencing two quotes.

If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live. --Albert Einstein

“I have come down to rescue them...to bring them up...to a land flowing with milk and honey.” Exodus 3:8


Yes, there are still people left six years after Einstein thought there could be. And yes, though the title is taken from Exodus, I did add the prefix “Over.” You’ll see.
