Signed Copies

Hey, y’all! 😁 H.P. here!

I’m about to ship A BUNCH of signed bookplates and super shiny pre-order swag to Uncle Hugo’s Science Fiction Bookstore – which is to say, if you like signed books and shiny bookmarks, Uncle Hugo’s is one more place to pre-order Freelancers of Neptune!

Can you believe release day’s just two weeks away? 😮 Don’t forget, through October 1st, all readers who pre-order Freelancers of Neptune will receive an exclusive double-sided foil bookmark, complete with fancy plastic slipcase and tassel!

Readers who order the hardback specifically, though, will get that and a little something extra. 😉

Readers who order from Uncle Hugo’s and Fiction Addiction will automatically receive their perks. For everyone else, I need to know where to send your stuff, so be sure to fill out this form once you’ve pre-ordered: 😁

What’s this mischievous catgirl up to? What’s our heroic captain shooting at? What even is “Flesh and metal for the wound?”

Find out next month in the space opera adventure Freelancers of Neptune (Sol Blazers #1)! 🚀

Freelancers of Neptune

Sol Blazers #1

All he wanted was a simple job to make ends meet. What he got was a mysterious cat girl, a shot at a hoard of treasure, and a whole lot of trouble.

The Solar System ain’t what it used to be!

In the far distant future, Saturn’s rings are gone, Mercury is a gas giant, and Earth is remembered only as a unit of measure. Nearly godlike AIs reshaped the Solar System in eons past, but they too are now nothing more than a fading memory.

Captain Nathaniel Kade cares for none of that. He’s but a simple freelancer from the orbital ring of Neptune, struggling to make ends meet and to keep his understaffed spaceship from falling apart. All he wants is a decent, uneventful job to help put his finances back in order.

What he receives instead is Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful cat girl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. Vessani’s in over her head and is clearly more trouble than she’s worth, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen.

Nathan pulls her butt out of the fire, and together they begin to assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. But other interested parties have their eyes on the same prize; the Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he’d like a few words with Nathan and his new crewmember.
