We the People Cover

First up, Sitrep:
Yes that is me in the Astromech.net forums. Nuff said there for the moment. :)

In other news, I am working on The Gaia Project. I am down to the last 7 chapters after finishing 8 today. I'm a bit button punchy and I've been fighting a headache all day.

Okay, let me back up. The next book is We the People. It is a Founding of the Federation book. I had intended to write a short story with it, The Gaia Project. It was supposed to be tucked away in the last Founding stories book at the end of this year. One thing led to another and it sorta grew into a short novel.
Novella? Not sure.
Anyway, I decided I want to knock out the Founding series this year, much to some of the Beta's dismay. (hence the poll in the FB group) There have been complaints about the number of series I have running. I decided to knock this one out before opening up the Ragnarok (aka Gottenberg/ Xeno War) trilogy. (Is it a trilogy if there are 2-3 short story books too?)

Anyway, I'm on track to finish The Gaia Project. Not bad since I started it 3 weeks ago.

Oh, We the People:
The last 2 Betas should be getting me their take on the book soon. Hopefully early this week. We shall see. It is... well, I'll get into that later. (Headache is getting worse)

Here is the cover:
You may have noticed I did my own spin on a famous painting of the American Constitutional Convention/signing. I had fun with all the different aliens. Some are placeholders, some you might recognize. Some still need a bit of improvement.

Have fun figuring them all out. Maybe one of the Betas should open up a contest on the FB group? :)

Anyway, I'll start posting snippets as soon as I finish with The Gaia Project.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Blockade is publishing now!

Sitrep:
I finished the rough draft of the cover to We the People yesterday and sent it off to Wayne. I'm going to pitch it to the other Betas later today. (If I remember!)

Also, I received the manuscripts back from Goodlifeguide.com after a bit of a mix-up yesterday afternoon. I decided to publish this morning. :)


Since Fleet Admiral Irons woke from stasis he has been focused on rebuilding and restoring the Federation.

He has fought internal politics as well as assassins and strife within his own reborn navy. But above it all 1 force has stood in the way of restoring peace and civilization to the galaxy, the pirate empire of Horath.

For years the navy has fought a see-saw battle across multiple star systems. They have gotten the upperhand and have steadily pushed the pirates back to their home star system.

But, the pirates aren't willing to surrender tamely. They have thousands of ships and millions of tons of battle fortresses waiting in Horath, all set to turn it into a cauldron of death and destruction.

Admiral Irons only recourse is a...

Covers and AI

 Sitrep: So, I finished a fourth book and it is in the hands of the first of the Betas. If anyone of the Betas wants to input anything on th...
