Big Thanks to my Readers!

Hi all!

Well I’m fresh off my latest promotion for the REM series, and I have to say I can’t complain one bit about the results.

Most folks already know that giving away free copies is essential to spreading the word about little-known authors like me. Last week’s promotion ran for three days, and when all was said and done, over 2,000 copies of the first book in the series were downloaded!

Over 1,300 downloads on the first day alone. Thanks, Freebooksy!

So with that said, I just wanted to give a BIG THANKS to everyone who took the time to download The R.E.M. Effect. More than anything, I hope readers get a kick out of the story.

And if you’ve already burned through the book, would you please take a moment to leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads? Reviews are the lifeblood of indie authors, and without them, we have little chance of getting our stories out to the masses.

It doesn’t have to be Roger-Ebert worthy, either. Just a simple, “Hey, this book was the bomb!” or “Hey, this book was total garbage!” works just fine. (although I really hope it’s not the latter…)

You can leave a review on the Amazon product page by clicking here, and if you feel like dropping by Goodreads to put in your two cents, you can do so by clicking here.

Thanks again for your support, and if you have anything to add, please don’t hesitate to leave it in the comments below.

Take care, and happy reading!

The Sequel to The R.E.M. Effect is Here!

Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.

The R.E.M. Project (The Ocula Series, Book 2) is available now in paperback. Kindle eBook to be released April 17th. Preorder now!

Dear readers,

I’m excited to announce the sequel to 2016’s The R.E.M. Effect has finally hit the Amazon shelves! (Along with a special giveaway for readers who make it to the bottom of this email.)

Set six months after the events of the first book in The Ocula Series, The R.E.M. Project picks up right where we left off:

  • The original outliers are in hiding and on the run.

 

  • Asteria Pharmaceuticals has had free rein to disperse their revolutionary genome-inhibiting medication to the masses.

 

  • And the new Director of the CIA is determined to take Ocula off the streets—even if it means rebooting a dangerous project she swore she would eliminate for good.

On a personal note, I’m really excited to share this book with my loyal readers (and, with any luck, a few new recruits). Your input for The R.E.M. Effect was invaluable to me, and I made it a point to address the main recurrent issues readers had with the first book.

In other words, a lot of your questions from the first book will be answered here. I’ve still got a trilogy planned, with every story arc wrapping up in a nice (if not eerie) little package by the third and final installment. But, I think you’ll be very satisfied with the arcs completed in Book 2.

Now, I promised something special for those who made it to the end of this message, and I would hate to disappoint. I mentioned the Kindle version is available for preorder until the April 17th release date, so . . .

The first ten people who preorder the Kindle version here will receive a complementary autographed paperback copy of The R.E.M. Project. Just shoot me a screenshot of the ebook order receipt, along with your name, mailing address, and any personalized message you’d like me to include in your paperback, and I’ll get a signed copy to you ASAP. (Please allow up to 14 days for delivery.)

And as always, any and all customer reviews left on Amazon and Goodreads help TREMENDOUSLY!

Well, I know that was a long-winded post, but I’ve been waiting a long time to touch base with my readers. I think you’ll find the sequel moves much faster, with a few new characters to help move the storyline closer to its conclusion.

Thanks for your interest in The Ocula Series, your feedback, and your continued support. Feel free to drop me a line in the comments below. Talk to you soon!
