Killing the Sacred Cows of Publishing

https://storybundle.com/aliens

I am super proud to be a part of this bundle and having a chance to work with Allyson Longuiera to put it together. Take a look. I don’t think you can find a better group of science fiction novels at this price.

Yes, I sometimes write young adult as well.

My very first published young adult novel was an Iron Man novel. It was called, if I remember right, Steel Terror. Part of a series one publisher was doing back in the early 1990s in conjunction with Marvel. I had fun writing it, but the series died and that was it.

Over the years I wrote a few other young adult novels and stories here and there. But I have two ya novels that were in Smith’s Monthly, first as a serial, then as stand-alone novels. Now, you can get one of those novels in a nifty Storybundle called THE LIGHT IN THE DARK YA BUNDLE.

The book I have in this bundle is a pure western young adult called The Life and Times of Buffalo Jimmy. I hope this winter to write more Buffalo Jimmy novels for Smith’s Monthly.

Every week on Smith's Monthly web site I will put up a new free story. I will be starting this once again in the new year.

Stay tuned. Information here.

This small area will be to keep track of each Smith’s Monthly progress in being put together. Instead of tracking the writing every day, you can track the progress here if interested.
