Feeling thoughtful today as I make plans for new books and reflect on the fact that it's DECEMBER already. Can you believe it? This year has been so full that time seems to have flown by at 2x speed.
Yet the future is bright where there are fun new stories to read and lovable old characters to meet again. So here's what I've got planned for 2019.
Say hello to Jeff Elkins, author of urban fantasy series The Defense of Reality and founder of online fiction magazine Short Fiction Break.
Today Jeff joins me for a discussion of a 1954 sci-fi mystery novel by Isaac Asimov, The Caves of Steel.
Tomorrow, the third book in the Translocator Trilogy, The Ares Initiative, comes out, so I thought I'd give those of you who are excited about the upcoming release a chance to get started early with some snippets from the book.
I posted Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 already. Here's Chapter 3...

Hey there! This Friday, the third book in the Translocator Trilogy, The Ares Initiative, comes out, so I thought I'd give those of you who are excited about the upcoming release a chance to get started early with some snippets from the book.

Here's chapter 1...
Stoked that I got to have Steve Statham on to talk about gods in science fiction. Steve's a great guy and he writes a hell of a space opera.
Our conversation today was sparked because I read his book, Gods and the City. The topics we covered range from mythology to history to our obsession with gods in storytelling.
We also talk about the characters in Steve's book—every day people who are called upon to defend humanity—and how they rose to the challenge.
What a fun conversation. A few great book recommendations for you in there, too. Hope you enjoy it.
This is the first SFF book club interview!
I got a chance to sit down and chat with K. Gorman, author of the space opera series, The Eurynome Code.
We talk about science fiction, inspirations, humor, and the first book in her space opera series, Black Dawn, which was featured in the book club just a few weeks ago.
If you aren’t already signed up for my emails, you might not know that a few weeks ago I launched M.G. Herron’s SFF Book Club, introducing weekly book recommendations and adding a Facebook group for discussion.
I had been searching for a way to give back to my readers and fans. Since I am only able to publish 3-4 major books per year right now, this is also a way for me to offer you even more entertainment and value between my book launches, while I’m working on new stuff.
So if you sign up for my book club now, you’ll not only know when I have new books out, but you’ll also get:
I’m even planning to do host Facebook Live book club discussions, so follow me on Facebook to be notified when those happen.
Hope to see you in there!
It’s always an exciting day when I get to share artwork for a new book!
Here’s the cover for Boys & Their Monsters, a collection of post-apocalyptic adventures written over the last year and a half.
The book is publishing now and will be available sometime next week. I’m putting together some giveaways and other treats to accompany the launch, so enjoy your weekend and don’t forget to check back soon!
I’ve got a new story out today! Originally part of a science fiction anthology, Centurion is now available as a standalone ebook (for a mere 99 cents—I’d charge less but they don’t let me.)
Here’s a little bit about the story…
New planet, new problems
Josu and his father trade up for a second chance at life by emigrating from a dead Earth to the Alpha Centauri system.
But their new role as planetary pioneers presents its own challenges.
One of which is that on this wild, waterlogged world, they always have to watch each other’s backs.
How dangerous can a little fishing trip be? Josu is about to find out.

Hope you enjoy it.
This story will also be included as part of an post-apocalyptic short story collection I’m putting together to release in December called Boys and Their Monsters. It will collect all the post-apoc stories I’ve written in the last year and a half into a single volume.
It will also mark my twelfth consecutive publication. My goal this year was to publish a new book or story every month and I’ve nearly done it. The finish line is in sight. Just in time to set bigger, badder, better goals for 2018.
