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

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

cool - haven't even got Alien Interludes yet (come on 4/27) and I'm already thinking about Alien Redemption.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite...yummy!
ReplyDeleteThey sound intriguing and very yummy looking....and when does this book come out? Also is there a way to pre-order Alien Interludes?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
