I’d like to thank, and welcome, all the contestants at C.L. Cannon’s Spring Fantasy & Sci-fi BookBub Giveaway. I’ll be doing a summary of what the hell’s going in this newsletter in May when the contest finally ends. For anyone else wishing to join the contest, you’ll need to create a free BOOKBUB account and then CLICK HERE and follow the easy instructions. There are hundreds of free or discounted books available. There are also numerous ways to win a variety of prizes. Simply scroll to the bottom of the contest page to see them all. SPLICE: HIT BIT TECHNOLOGY is listed under “Genetic Manipulation.” For those who are new, SPLICE was voted the Best Science Fiction Novel of 2020 by the Critters’ Readers’ Poll. The Critters’ Poll was created by one of the people who developed the Nebula Award. +++++ SPLICE is a non-stop thrill ride, taking the reader on an edge-of-your-seat experience through the worlds of the military and organized crime. Bill McCormick absolutely captures the senses of the military and combat from sight, to sound, to smell, and leaves you only wanting more at the turn of every page. This book gets it right and keeps it coming! Cpt. Josh Grenard (ret) / U.S. Army Combat Vet More below. I was recently interviewed by Cody Johnson of Comic Chat Authority and we talked exclusively about the comics I write. The result was a deep dive into my creative process, the thinking behind the brain bending plots, and an honest look at why I tend to write comics for adults. CLICK HERE to watch the whole thing. It really was a lot of fun. Comic Chat Authority is a weekly show created and hosted by Cody, often along with his wife Kari, that features creators from all over the world. I have discovered creators there I might have, otherwise, missed. If you dig comics, and you dig me so the odds are in favor of that, make sure to check it out. More below.
