The third book and more

srzasa — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:52:52 +0000

Pre-order time is over!

Come on over to Marcher Lord Press to get Broken Sight, my newest novel. It takes place two years after the conclusion of The Word Reclaimed and The Word Unleashed.

There’s also four new releases that look excellent. You can get them at http://marcherlordpress.com/news/october11_sale_release.html.

Here’s the teaser for Broken Sight:

The dark days are over.

The secret religious police, Kesek, no longer hold sway over the Realm of Five. Freedom of belief is returned. Now Lieutenant Commander Brian Gaudette of Rescue Operations doesn’t have to hide his own beliefs – and he can read his Bible in peace.

Too bad he doesn’t even want to look at it most days.

He has a new, state-of-the-art starship ready for its maiden cruise – but the first officer is an ex-pirate and the crew fight over suddenly legal religious differences. The Crown Marshals want their people aboard to hunt down Kesek’s remnants. His wife has taken his daughter away for fear of his beliefs.

And Brian has to wonder whether his God — who never seems to be around — will ever give him a straight answer.

When he answers a distress call on a remote planet, Brian will find his faith and duty challenged in ways for which he thinks he is unprepared.

Because Kesek is not gone. They are biding their time. And they have found a weapon that can threaten the balance of power in the galaxy …

Hey, all.

To celebrate the upcoming release of my third novel from Marcher Lord Press (Broken Sight, October 2011), I’ve got autographed copies of The Word Reclaimed available. For $15 I’ll sign whatever personal message you’d like and mail one (or however many) out to you. Send me an email at srzasa@yahoo.com — that’s also my PayPal account for payments.

The first 10 people to take advantage of this will get a signed copy of “Rescued,” my short story from 2009 that introduced the main character for “Broken Sight,” Brian Gaudette.

This is wonderful new science fiction from the creative minds at Marcher Lord Press. It’s seven original tales at the intersection of greed, courage, and faith. And for $3.99, what’s not to love? You can get them on your Kindle here and your Nook here.

Don’t despair — if you don’t have either reader, you can go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble to download the free reader software for your PC.

New Stuff — “They’re for sale if you want them.”

srzasa — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 03:49:00 +0000

Ok, I did this just for kicks a while back — I made a T-shirt of the Kesek secret police baddies from my two books (The Word Reclaimed and The Word Unleashed). I also made a photosculpt plastic cutout of the good guys’ starship, Natalia Zoja. They were both fun and once I got them, I decided to put them up for sale on Zazzle.com. So, in the immortal words of Obi-wan Kenobi from Star Wars, “They’re for sale if you want them.”

Here’s the links to Zazzle, and a pic of the ship. Way cool! I have on on my bookshelf.
