Sale: Codename Salamander and Bullet of Revenge



My publisher Melange Books decided to have a sale of two of my books.
#Codename Salamander and #Bullet of Revenge are on sale right now for $2.99.
Codename Salamander is the first book in a new Science Fiction series I started. Operation Stargate is a sub-series in the ‘umbrella series’ The Spider Wars.
It all started with #Outpost Epsilon. I always wanted to write a story about an outpost on an alien planet. I’ve always liked dinosaur and I decided to populate this new planet with dinosaurs. That’s how Outpost Epsilon was born. I liked the premise so much and wrote another story about 15 years in the future of that first story. It became too long to be published as an eBook, so I made it into a trilogy, featuring three different characters.
One of the characters, Terrex Stonewall, a Scout with the Solar Union, fascinated me, so I brought him back in Codename Salamander, but he is not the main character in that story, even though he does play an important role.
If you want to find out more buy the book. In fact, start with Outpost Epsilon. You may also fall in love with that universe and the variety of alien species in it.
Right now, I’m working on another novel in that same universe I created with Outpost Epsilon. The working title is ‘Outpost Savanna’, but that may change when I’m done.

Even though I love Science Fiction, I also love Thrillers and detective stories. I also love Westerns. Perhaps some day I will take a crack at writing a Western. Perhaps. There are so many stories I still would love to write, but I only have so much time. I hope I live long enough to write at least a few of them.

#Bullet of Revenge is a Thriller/Mystery, featuring PI Frank Hummer.
Here is the blurb from the back of the book:

When PI Frank Hummer takes on a new case to help a woman in distress, he soon finds himself in a web of lies and deception. Ghosts from the past reach out toward him, demanding atonement for the things he committed a decade ago, things he tried hard to forget.

Perhaps it wet your appetite to find out what it’s all about. Here is your chance. For only $2.99 you can spend a few hours to live in a world of mystery and suspense.
