On the 5th of this month the fourth book in my
series, The Unborn Galaxy, will be released. Number four, still very exciting.
I hope the thrill of a new release never gets old.
This forth book will take those who have been following the
many adventures spawned on JILL, the Joint International Lunar laboratory, far,
far from the Earth's solitary satellite.
A distant world in orbit around a binary red star set,
light years away, holds the promise of humanity’s future. It also contains a
deadly secret that unleashes the worst of all greed and the unthinkable—those
who would kill for blood.
When Lieutenant Colonel Kathy Selina is offered the
choice to relocate to the Antyllus colony, she hardly has a choice. The
military has not only training and time invested in her, but she’s also been
given a new SUB body to defeat the deadly disease that would have killed her,
as a human. Kathy, along with her executive officer, Major Dave Mitchel,
a handful of SUBs, and the members of the Colony Defense Force, must pit their
skills and abilities against the most malevolent enemy the universe has ever
faced.
Failure will mean a terrible end for the planet’s
native inhabitants, those who’ve come to colonize Antyllus, and certain death
for the small cadre of defenders, as well. In a deadly game of cat-and-mouse,
how can Kathy, Dave, and their band of soldiers defend an entire world against
THE VAMPIRES OF ANTYLLUS?
“Mike, where do you come up with this sh― ah…stuff?” Friends
frequently ask me. Well, there are many sources of inspiration. My dog is one
of them.
We are a Doberman family. Our dog, Sarge, is a dark
chocolate color, he a flop eared and he is a beloved member of our family.
Dobermans get a bad rap as vicious. This would only be true
of our Sarge if he thought someone were threatening or hurting a member of his
pack.
With us and our friends he’s a real sweetheart. And we just
love him.
A month or so ago I wanted to start a new story could not
think of anything to write.
I had been watching Sarge play “ring” with Max, our son
(Sarge’s brother), then watched him sleep on Max’s lap. Later he came into the
den to keep me company.
The TV was on and I noted that with certain sounds emanating
from the set he would alert. Doorbells, dogs barking, and gun shots.
I smiled at him and thought to myself, My hero.
It was then that my imagination kicked in, and I began to
visualize Sarge as a superhero.
That made me laugh.
Then I started to see him in many guises. As a soldier I saw
him, rifle in hand, prepared to do battle with Zombie dogs! He is victorious
and returns home an American Hero!
As an Astronaut he journeys into deepest space seeking out
new worlds and new life, boldly going where no Doberman has gone before!
Perhaps on another planet he discovers alien Dobies!
And has
to deploy robotic drones to keep them at bay!
Well, I never incorporated any of those daydreams into a
story, but he sure helps stir up the creative juices. Perhaps the world is
ready for a superhero dog? Ah, now I think about it, it’s been done. Of course,
not with a Doberman!
The one thing I can say for sure…he is a lover.
Doberman Pinschers eat a lot. They are a large breed dog. If
you love dogs as much as I do you’d hate to see one go hungry, so please purchase
a copy of my new novel, “The Vampires of Antyllus,” a story he did donate a
little inspiration too.
Thanks, ya’ll.
