Today’s the day!  It begins.  Preorders for my next novel After Man have begun as has the Geek and Sundry Hard Science contest!  I find it amusing and small worldish that this novel is appearing in this contest because of my experience meeting Geek and Sundry’s founder at Dragoncon in 2012.  Maybe I’ll share it in a future update.  I doubt she remembers it.

Sometime here over the coming few days, I’m going to start posting Casey Adler’s personal logs from her investigations.  These will contain clues that will be revealed later in the story as she investigates the epidemic of violent crime you see being hinted at in Chapter One.  I’ll also be posting case files and other pertinent records to help you, the reader sleuths see if you can solve the mysteries to come.  (Spoiler: there’s a suspected murder coming!)

As followers of Rise, I’ll let you in on a recruiter bonus I’m offering to people who bring in the most people to preorder After Man.  The top two recruiters will each be given an opportunity to help craft part of this story.  Number One will get to help create a character who plays a pivotal role in the sequel and who makes an appearing in the denouement of this book.  They also will get to have an exclusive interview with myself and my awesome wife who helped me form this idea into a story.  Any questions allowed, spoilers abound.  Number Two will get to help create the setting for the final sequence of this book.  I’ll give you a few pointers on what is going to happen and you get to help create the setting.

So, what are you waiting for?  Get your copy preordered then get that referral link and get going!
