Hand of Mars
Looking Forward – 2016
As I mentioned previously in my post Looking Backwards, 2015 was a mind-boggling year for me. I released four novels (City in the Sky, Space Carrier Avalon, Hand of Mars and Stellar Fox), made a deal with Tantor Media to release audiobooks of my main-line books (Space Carrier Avalon, Starship's Mage, and Hand of Mars have all been released as of this blog post), and in general have watched my mostly forsaken dream of being an author explode into reality.

And with a 6,300 word sprint day, Starship's Mage book 2: Hand of Mars (originally Mage-King's Hand) is now done. There's still a few stages for it to go through before it ends up in your hands (beta readers, editing, covers, minor things like that XD) so I'm not going to give a specific release date.
