Calico in Conversation Interviews Your Humble Servant (Me)

The fabulous Shara White is the brains behind the Calico in Conversation interview series, in which she chats with various authors about . . . well, whatever comes up in conversation. And this month, her featured author is, uh, me.

Part one of the interview is here. Part two will go up on the 9th, with part three following a week later. I’ll update this post with the links when I have them. The interview was conducted over several months, and covers a variety of topics. Of course, there’s plenty of talk about Petra and Petra Released.  But we also discuss lessons one can learn from karaoke, politics in fiction, and even a bit about Harlan Ellison. Because Harlan Ellison, that’s why.

This interview was a lot of work. But a lot of fun, too. So do check it out.

The Wait Is Over: Petra Released Is Now Available!

Petra Released, the second book of The Prison World Revolt series, is now available here!

The prison world is free. Or is it?

A grieving Kane Pythen, exiled on Petra light years from his family, has found a haven among the inmates he aided in a failed escape attempt. But after a devastating attack on their settlement, he must lead a dangerous foray into Bone Tribe territory, in search of a new home before the impending winter finishes them off.

Worse, the expedition uncovers a plot to seize control of Petra that could kill millions, including Kane and his friends. The shadowy forces in Farside are on the move, too, intent on eliminating all enemies. And in Ported Space, the powerful Petra Compact is hunting for the explosive prisoner records that were smuggled offworld—which have fallen into the hands of Kane’s wife, Tayla . . .

The battle for Petra has just begun. Kane and Tayla must brave merciless enemies and unlikely allies to save themselves and all they believe in.

If you enjoy the book, please consider leaving a review for it where you bought it, or on Goodreads, or on your own blog.

And if you still haven’t read Petra, well, now’s the time to get caught up.

So?  What are you waiting for?

Next Stop on the 2016 Rotundo World Tour: Bennington Public Library

The 2016 Rotundo World Tour rolls into Bennington, Nebraska, for an appearance at the Bennington Public Library on July 26th, at 7:00 pm.

By cosmic coincidence, that just happens to be the day after Petra Released drops. Copies of it and Petra will be available for purchase. And if you’d like me to deface your books with my signature, I will be happy to oblige.

Odds are there will be a reading. And some Q & A. And treats.

If you’re local, or if you just happen to be in the area, stop on by!

Cuz, you know, it would be awfully awkward if no one showed up.

Once again, that’s Tuesday, July 26th, at 7:00 pm.

Hope to see you there!
