A Punch and a Fall #summerofsfr

During the time when I wasn’t writing more Project Enterprise books, I tried my hand with a new series. It was a bringing together of my mystery series, The Big Uneasy and Project Enterprise. I called the series An Uneasy Future. It is set in future New Orleans, after Earth has had first contact and it blends scifi romance and mystery. 

I released it in two parts: Core Punch and Sucker Punch, two short novels that I eventually combined into One Two Punch. The thing about a series, it takes at 5 to 6 books for an author to tell if a series is going to take off. And I was getting a clamor from my readers for more Project Enterprise, so I set this series aside for now. The sad truth is, I’ll need some clamor to continue this one, too. 

You can read about the story behind the story for Core Punch and Sucker Punch, and here is blurb and buy information. 

Moving on to my author recommendation for this week: Kyndra Hatch. She’s not only a delightful person, but she wrote this fun story for Pets in Space. I hope you’ll take a look at it. I think you might enjoy it as much as I did. Here’s the blurb, cover and where to buy it:

The Invaders took everything worth living for. Can an Invader show him how to live again?

A’ryk Chiste of Korth marooned himself on an uninhabited world for a reason. He doesn’t want to be reminded of a galaxy where his people lost the war, taken over by the merciless Invaders who changed his life forever. A galaxy where he failed at the one thing he was born for, to protect worlds. He wants no part of the shaky forced ‘peace.’ So when an Invader crashes onto his planet, the simple solution is to let her die. But his furry companions have other ideas.

Lyra Merrick is a surveyor for the Earth Council of Habitable Worlds. She searches for and reports planets that can be terraformed for human survival, comfort and stability. It is business as usual when she finds another planet in a little known section of the galaxy. A routine mission turns into a fight for survival when her ship has a malfunction and she crashes to the icy, unrelenting world. When she comes to, she hears a voice in her head. Confused, she wonders if the lonely existence of a surveyor finally made her crazy. Not only is she hearing things, her eyes are deceiving her too, because she’s in the domicile of the sexiest man she’s ever seen.

This book was previously published in the USA Today bestselling anthology “Pets in Space 3: Embrace the Passion.”
