All 10 volumes in the "Agents of ISIS" decalogy are now available as print-on-demand trade paperback editions. I'm actually feeling quite relieved. In all its various versions and editions, this is a project that's taken me many years to complete. I don't know if I'd call it my life's work. I wouldn't even call it great literature. But I think it's fun and entertaining, and people seem to enjoy reading it.
Maybe it's like a builder who finishes a large construction project. No, Frank Lloyd Wright's reputation is in no danger, but this is well constructed, it holds together, and it services people well. I'm proud of what I achieved. To quote Stephen Sondheim's song "Finishing the Hat" in Sunday in the Park with George, "Look, I made a hat/Where there never was a hat."
If you go to my Parsina Press online bookstore, you can get coupon codes for $2.00 off the list price of each title. And of course, the books are available in ebook editions as well.
Now, in addition to new projects, I'm getting ready for the end-of-year transition of 6 more titles from Midnight Shocase Fiction to Parsina Press. Excitement abounds.
In the Jade Darcy books, the Rix Kaf-Amur Ingesterie is a fine restaurant/bar on the interstellar transfer world of Cablans. Strange beings from all over the civilized universe come there to meet, socialize and conduct business. Jade Darcy is one of the bouncers there...but I hope I won;t need her special skills to maintain order in THIS ingesterie.

Switching Publishers
Normally, authors dread hearing that their publisher is going out of business. But not always.
I just got word that Midnight Showcase Fiction, the current small-press publisher of 6 of my books (Polly!, Assault On The Gods, Mindflight, Mindsearch, And Not Make Dreams Your Master, and Crossroads Of The Galaxy) will be folding at the end of the year. They've treated me nicely there, and I'm sorry to hear they're not making a go of it. But since I've enjoyed the self-publishing experience thus far, I'll probably be moving these titles over to my own Parsina Press at that time.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments.
