We are done!  The last of the polls are finished, and you have helped me create the clan that will star in Alien Redemption (Clan of Kalquor 6).  Thanks so much for participating.  It was amazing to see how you wanted Dramok Erybet, Nobek Sletran, and Imdiko Conyod to be presented.  The majority of the time, you selected options I didn’t expect.  Those choices will definitely help shape the story.  So let’s see what manner of men you have made.

  2. They sound intriguing and very yummy looking....and when does this book come out? Also is there a way to pre-order Alien Interludes?

  3. I don't have a release date on Alien Redemption, as I haven't finished the outline yet. Definitely not before August, probably even later. And I won't be able to offer pre-order on Alien Interludes...I'll be happy just to get it online by the 27th, lol! For a sci-fi writer and enthusiast, I am remarkably tech-challenged.
