SpecOps is publishing now!

Yup, I got it in and here we go!

SpecOps is a series of 10 short stories in the Reborn Federation time period. Rangers, Delta, SEALs, even the Cadre are visited.

Ahem:

   "For thousands of years military forces of many species had an elite unit of some sort. Terrans had many branches of elite units that served a special purpose or mission type that regular units would have been hard pressed to perform.

   When the Federation was formed the Terrans became the model for many things, including the Special Forces units. Some became legends in short order. Others were quite secretive, preferring to do their work in the shadows without being noticed or acknowledged. During the Xeno war they fought the Xenos hard and worked to pass whatever intelligence they could back to command.

   In the Reborn Federation, Admiral Irons passed an order to begin training these elite units once more. The Marines started the process with the Force Recon Marines. The process was carried up to the greatest of all, the Federation Cadre.

                                                  Here are some of their stories."

Diplomacy Cover

  So, while we're still waiting for SpecOps from the formatter (she's super busy) I thought I'd post the cover to Diplomacy that I've been working on.

  It was a little bit of a pain to render, the lighting kept washing everything out. Now it is a bit darker than I'd intended, but at least it's not a white wash.
I also did character renders. I'm going to see if we can put those up on the Wiki sometime soon.

  I'm trying to take some time off to decompress but I'm jumping around, adding scene bits to Shelby 4 and the next book up, Sparks. Oh, and free writing nonsense too. I did get my haircut this morning finally! Six months is waaay too long a wait! I feel sooo much better!

Anyway, that's it for now!
