Big Announcement!

Cat out of the bag time... almost literally! My big announcement on the podcast: As of this coming Saturday, September 1st, I'll be releasing my new novel Alibi Jones and the Sunrise of Hur chapter by chapter on my Glow-in-the-Dark Radio podcast!

Mediator for the Solar Alliance Alibi Jones searches for a stolen Dakhur artifact, a golden tiara with a blood red gem – The Sunrise of Hur – a cultural treasure, property and pride of the Dakhur race. But Alibi isn't even supposed to land on the planet he most wants to investigate – Kismet, home of the crime lord Rene Laveillur, who's claimed Alibi's on-and-off girlfriend Katerina Ramsey as his own property. Alibi's been warned – if he lands on Kismet, he's a dead man!

I narrate my own audio books in serial form week by week on my show, available free on iTunes, through http://glowinthedarkradio.com and at http://comicrelated.com – it's a part of the Comic Related Podcasting Network.

Alibi Jones and the Sunrise of Hur will be released as an ebook and in paperback in mid-September through all the usual online outlets. Until then, the only place it can be found is on Glow-in-the-Dark Radio!
