NEW: The Curator

My writer's group, The Hourlings, has a new anthology that includes my story: SALVAGE MISSION

===

And why is the Curator's body in a high-tech cargo container filled with priceless works of art?

When a salvage ship stumbles on the debris sphere of a long-lost colony transport, they're not expecting to find much. Spotting an intact cargo container within the debris, they're surprised. Especially when they discover it's still got power. Inside, a skeleton in a spacesuit immediately dubbed "The Curator." And hundreds of lost, priceless paintings. All maintained at safe temperatures by an onboard fusion generator.

Who is the Curator? How did the Curator survive the explosion that destroyed the transport? Knowing that rescue was impossible, why did the Curator spend the last few months of dwindling life support writing stories about the paintings?

In this unique anthology, nine writers take inspiration from real paintings, included in this volume, to explore the life and final days of...the Curator.

Now Available: Virtues of the Vicious

I am pleased to announce the release of: Virtues of the Vicious

This book is a stand alone novel that takes place in the Solstice universe in the year 2636.

Here is the description from the back cover:

“It has been difficult to determine when the first shots were fired in the AI Wars. Some historians argue that the opening salvos were subtle economic assassinations to ensure monopolies continued. This historian believes it began at midnight on September 21, 2636. That shot was fired by Elizabeth Cruze.”

What a Year!

One year ago today my first novel, STILL FALLING was published.

It was a Bucket List goal kind of thing. It was so much fun to write, I never stopped. Since then, all in the last year, I have written two more novels and a pile of short stories. I have produced two audio books and helped many Indie Authors get their titles out there.

Next year is also exciting! I have a fifteen page outline for my next project. I wrote Chapter One yesterday! I'm working on a collection of ghost stories and a screenplay. More ideas than time!

Looking back, that was a lot of action adventure for one year!

--I want to thank all my friends, family and readers for you support!

Coming Soon!

The audio version of Still Falling will be available in Amazon, Audible and iTunes in about two weeks!

I got to listen to the entire thing while I was on vacation. Andrew Tell did an excellent job with the audio-book.

For some reason I am really excited about the Audio version.

On the heels of the audio version, Book 2: The Broken Cage is scheduled for release in September!

I have set up a notification list. Email info@baytirus.com to be added to the list.

--Stay tuned!
