CODE NAME: INTREPID CLASSIFIED VOLUME 3 NOW AVAILABLE

 IT'S HERE!

I've talked about it from the start of writing my contribution through the submission and editing process and now at last everyone can read it for themselves!

CODE NAME: INTREPID CLASSIFIED VOLUME 3

HAS BEEN RELEASED ON AMAZON!

Cover art by Jeffery Hayes of Plasma Fire Graphics

And check out this amazing line up!

The anthology opens with Intrepid bracing against a “Storm Front” by series creator Robert J. Mendenhall.

Then John L. French has the team facing an enemy they never confronted before in “Operation Wayback” .

After that, Brian K. Lowe reveals something mysterious happening in “The Alpine Affair”.

Next comes my contribution to the anthology: “Operation Colossus”.

The sky's not the limit in Brian K. Morris'  “Heavenly Unbound”, before the anthology concludes with James Palmer revealing a  “Feat of Clay”.

And for those hopefully few out there sadly unaware of who Code Name: Intrepid is, in Robert J. Mendenhall's own words...

"The team is comprised of highly-trained individuals from the Army and Navy, as well as exceptional professionals from the civilian community. INTREPID’s sole function is to investigate incidents and situations which threaten the security of the United States that are OUTSIDE THE REALM OF NORMAL OCCURRENCE. Since these “incidents” are of extraordinary or UNNATURAL order, team leader Lieutenant Colonel Rick Justice of the  U.S. Army Air Corps and INTREPID will receive top priority.

"This also leads to Intrepid encountering on a regular basis the Sonderstaffel: a shadow unit “special squadron” of the Nazi Party under the direct control of Adolf Hitler. Their mission is to exploit the occult and supernatural with the aim of creating new superweapons or finding ancient or mythological weapons that could help Germany and its allies win the impending Second World War."

The stakes are high. The risks great, and failure is NOT an option!

Exciting Thrills! Chills! Action! Adventure! Espionage! Drama and more await in the pages of CODE NAME: INTREPID CLASSIFIED VOLUME THREE, now available from Amazon in both print and e-book formats!

HAPPY READING!

KIRI'S QUEST NOW AVAILABLE

Okay, same old same old on the Writing Front right now concerning the SCIENCE FICTION PROJECT I'm working on, so thought I'd talk about something else today instead.

A DETERMINED DRAGON ON A DANGEROUS QUEST

‘COMPANION DRAGONS TALES VOLUME SIX: KIRI’S QUEST’ DEBUTS!

A very powerful magical tool has been stolen. In the wrong hands, it could be used to conquer the Otherworld realms so it must be recovered at all cost. Only one special companion dragon has the experience and skills to take on this covert quest to bring it back.

Young Pulp! and Pro Se Productions proudly announce the release of COMPANION DRAGONS TALES VOLUME SIX: KIRI’S QUEST by Nancy A. Hansen and Lee Houston, Junior, now available in print and digital formats.

Under the cover of darkness, ruby scaled Kiri travels to Castle Umbra, the monster guarded and foreboding stronghold of Grewsum–a wicked wizard, wretched writer, and shoddy speller now turned thief. Kiri is determined to retrieve what was stolen before it can be used for evil purposes—providing she survives that long!

The journey to Grewsum’s fortress is fraught with dangerous perils and Kiri has nothing but her wits and unique dragon abilities to aid her. One misstep could not only end her quest, but alert Grewsum to the fact that his opponents on the side of keeping the Otherworlds free have invaded his private island. That would amount to a declaration of war.

Yet even if Kiri safely makes it all the way to where the magical item is hidden, she might still have to face Grewsum himself. How can one small dragon outwit such a power hungry fiend?

Book Six in one of the most imaginative young reader for all ages series ever-COMPANION DRAGONS TALES-KIRI’S QUEST by Nancy A. Hansen and Lee Houston, Junior. From Young Pulp! and Pro Se Productions.

Featuring an exciting cover by Larry Nadolsky and cover design and print formatting by Antonino lo Iacono and Marcia Marina, COMPANION DRAGONS TALES VOLUME SIX: KIRI’S QUEST is available in print and e-book formats at Amazon.com.

Also available to Kindle Unlimited members for free.

Truthfully I had a lot of fun writing this adventure, with Nancy mostly serving as My Friendly Neighborhood Beta-Proofreader and Companion Dragon Universe Continuity Coordinator.

Someday I will definitely have to post a list of all the Easter Eggs I put into the story.

The only thing it lacks is the kitchen sink, and that's only because I couldn't figure out how to squeeze it in!

I can guarantee you that you'll never think of what composes a BLT the same way ever again.😉

In any event I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

PROJECT ALPHA: PROVING GROUND NOW AVAILABLE!

The following is the major announcement I promised everyone at the end of yesterday's Progress Report.

Cover by Michael Hegedus

JUST RELEASED by Pro Se Press is Book Two in my superhero series: PROJECT ALPHA: PROVING GROUND!

Nothing comes easy when you're a super-powered cosmic orphan without a home.
After having failed miserably to prevent the destruction of the planet Shambala at the hands of his unwanted arch-nemesis Conalaric in his debut (Project Alpha), the fledgling champion Alpha searches for a chance to become the hero he was destined to be.
Thinking the blue-green planet before him might present that opportunity, Alpha struggles to prove himself or be doomed to be misunderstood and hunted down as a potential threat to all life, including the world known as Earth.

With a cover by Michael Hegedus, PROJECT ALPHA: PROVING GROUND is now available in both print and e-book formats from Amazon, with all links active in that last sentence.

While there must be some suspension of disbelief when reading any work of fiction, I strove for a high degree of believability with this novel. It was a labor of love and I hope all my readers and fans enjoy it immensely.
