Find it in Apple's Tucson Festival of Books, I've signed a contract with epress-online for a sequel to The Aztetc Eagle. In The Crystal Desert, Enrique winds up on Plant Alpha to fight the good fight alongside his hero, Major Robinson, but someone is trying to keep him off the fast track. Is it his old nemesis Blake? Or has he acquired a new, more powerful enemy?
    The dazzling rebel leader Karma is back, along with red-haired Lyla and spooky Miriam. Enrique's psionic gift keeps the daring young pilot in the thick of things, but his synesthesia has taken on a new twist: an impression of primary colors that haunts his senses and makes him wonder if his neural implant has spawned another annoying side-effect.
  • 08/04/09 - Electronic versions of THE AZTEC EAGLE are now available from Fictionwise. So we're off and running in the brave new world of e-books! I'm curious to see which sells better, digital or paper.
