The New England Speculative Writers group has launched a new promotion for its newsletter, and you can get not one but two free books out of the deal!

Simply click on this link and sign up for the newsletter, and you’ll receive e-book versions of the two collections pictured here, featuring novel samples from NESW members. The fantasy collection includes the first two chapters of The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – Scratching a Lich.

And if that’s not enough, the NESW is also sponsoring a special newsletter subscription promotion for its individual members. Get free short stories, collections, novel excerpts, and full novels just for signing up for an author’s newsletter.

WRITING PROJECTS

Well-Behaved Women: The photo shoot for the covers was last weekend, and it was even better than I’d hoped. I can’t heap enough praise on my models, Jennifer MacPherson (who doubled as makeup artist), Kateri Chambers, and Renee Sutherland, my photographer Lauren Dubois, my graphic artist Tricia Lupien, my wife/costumer/hair stylist/photographic assistant Veronica, and Beatrix and Bowie for being the day’s set dogs. If you want to check out my behind-the-scenes photos, go to my Instagram page!

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – book four: First draft in progress.

Action Figures – Issue Eight: Crawling from the Wreckage: Fourth draft written.

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Rough plotting in progress.

Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins (audiobook): Review completed, final editing in progress.
