February 6th, 2013My first adult science fiction novel in ten years is coming in March
from Mythic Island Press LLC
THE RED: FIRST LIGHT
A near-future science fiction thriller
“There Needs To Be A War Going On Somewhere”
Lieutenant James Shelley commands a high-tech squad of soldiers in a rural district within the African Sahel. They hunt insurgents each night on a harrowing patrol, guided by three simple goals: protect civilians, kill the enemy, and stay alive—because in a for-profit war manufactured by the defense industry there can be no cause worth dying for. To keep his soldiers safe, Shelley uses every high-tech asset available to him—but his best weapon is a flawless sense of imminent danger…as if God is with him, whispering warnings in his ear. (Hazard Notice: contains military grade profanity.)

Looking forward to it, and believe me, I am very familiar with “military grade profanity.”

Yeah…I put that in the description because some reviewer on Goodreads gave one of my books a 1-star rating because I use “such terrible language.” The characters had just fucked up their whole lives and were stressed enough to use the word “fuck” a few times. Imagine that! I actually did a search and found seven instances of “fuck” in the entire novel. So yeah, I was fairly annoyed, and hope to stop such readers before ever they get started, because this book has a lot more. 🙂
