The dawn of the Xmas Shopping Season is here. Say what you want about it, but you know it's a thing and I'd be remiss if I didn't have something to say about it.
First, I'd be thrilled if you gifted copies of my book to whomever you think would enjoy it. Every copy sold makes more Star Knight more likely to come more quickly. Second, if you haven't already then get up on my fellow authors Brian Niemeier and Rawle Nyanzi to read their takes on giant robots of the not-BattleTech vein. Third, go check out Jon del Arroz's Nano Templar series of Space Opera books.
And here's a short list of fellows who have stuff you might enjoy.
- Cirsova Magazine is the best new short fiction magazine around for thrilling tales of adventure regardless of genre. Every issue is worth your time.
- Adam Smith's Deus Vult Wastelanders series starts with Gideon Ira: Knight of the Blood Cross and between this series and Nano Templar we got the solidification of what Razorfist coined "Cruci-Fiction".
- Alexander Hellene's The Swordbringer series starts with The Last Ancestor and if you're looking for Planetary Romance you'll get it here.
- The hardest working writer in the Israeli Defense Force, Yakov Merkin, has a brilliant Space Opera series in Galaxy Ascendant. You can find the first book, A Greater Duty, here and begin catching up fast.
- And if you haven't gotten on the mil-SF juggernaut that is Galaxy's Edge, by Nick Cole & Jason Anspach, you're missing out.
There's a hell of a lot more out there, so don't fret if I missed someone or didn't mention something. I didn't even mention comics or more notable authors' works (e.g. Legend of the Galactic Heroes, or other non-narrative media such as videogames and tabletop RPGs. If you want me to post more short lists, say so below.
