Trapped on Vkani, Book 3 of Atrapako
on Eden
Marooned on a desolate planet, joining forces with the
enemy is their only hope for escape.
Maya Pandita spent
years preparing for an expedition to the Deadlands. But her dreams of
unearthing ancient artifacts are shattered when her shuttle is buried by a
violent sandstorm, and her team is abducted by the scaled inhabitants of the
planet. Maya and her companions must try to outwit their blue captor and call
for help before they die in the toxic atmosphere.
Sa Vittaran has a
problem in his claws. Along with treasures from the ruins, he has retrieved three
smooth-skinned foreigners. He cannot leave them to die in the desert. Yet the
puny creatures have little value as workers, except perhaps for the impudent
woman who claims to be their leader. Her knowledge of the ancient script will
be an asset if she can survive the long trek to his house.
An attack by marauders
forces Maya and the Blue leader into a wary alliance. They must work together
to thwart the bandits and reunite their company. Can Maya convince Sa Vittaran
to help her team? If she fails, they are doomed to a short unpleasant life on
the desolate, war-torn planet.
Young
widow seeks true love in a Medieval romance with a touch of fantasy.
In
fourteenth century Britain, Dame Audrey cherishes her independence as the widow
of a wealthy cloth merchant. But some of the wealthier traders covet her
profitable business and she fears they will invoke the Abbot’s authority to
compel her to marry a man of their choice. Her worst nightmare is suffering
under a cruel husband like the hateful jeweler, Henry Goldsmith, who has
threatened to curb her lively spirits.
Audrey
joins a pilgrimage to Glastonbury to pray for guidance. The holy relics give
her no inspiration nor do her fellow travelers. On the homeward journey, she
aids the dying victim of a brutal robbery. She wins the stranger’s blessing and
a gold brooch with a green dragon. Back in her hometown, the faerie brooch
attracts trouble from thieves of all ranks and the attentions of a handsome
yeoman, Selwyn Drake. As her nightmare looms nearer, she
grows desperate to preserve her freedom.
Can
the magic brooch help Audrey evade the schemes to force her into wedlock or
must she submit to a husband’s will?
Fantasy adventure. Superheroes with quirky
animal sidekicks tackle murderous villains.

Secret Supers to search for a missing seven-year old girl.
These
stories bring my total output to 16 novel-length books, 2 novellas and 4 short
stories since I began publishing in 2014.

Strategic Goals
First, I’m
aiming for longer series to gain more sales from promoting the first book.
Taxyon Space will soon include four
novels and a short story. The fourth Book, Alarik, was conceived as the start of a trilogy about
the three brothers in the Flaming Comets Triad. Each book will focus on a
different brother.
Secret Supers has three novels plus
a short story.
Atrapako on Eden
comprises three novels.
Free
promos
In March,
I ran a free promotion of Grand Master’s Pawn with about 4,700 downloads plus
sales of subsequent books in the series. Pawn gained 2 new reviews of 4-5 stars.
This strategy appears successful.
You had a good year!
