beaconIV_300pxI’m thrilled to bring you Beacon – Part IV, the latest installment in the Beacon Saga. This one’s even longer than Part III, packing in sixteen thousand words of prose for your enjoyment. I do hope you like it. If you want to skip the rest of my sales pitch, just head right here to find links to the installment on your choice of platforms (with my thanks). And if you want to use one of the “like” or “share” buttons in this post, that would help, too. Remember, if you’re sitting on the sidelines, that you can grab Part I absolutely free (where available).

Still here? Then have a gander at the blurb:

They thought they were safe. Instead, they’re targets. Part IV of the Beacon Saga.

What should have been a triumphant homecoming becomes utter chaos. Abandoned by their friends, and assaulted by unknown forces, the scouts must play a dangerous cat and mouse game through Beacon’s mysterious third layer. They will uncover many secrets. But the most shocking will be what’s happened in orbit while they’ve been gone.

A serial installment of sixteen thousand words. Part V coming soon.

And yes, Part V will be coming soon. Then VI, then VII, and however many it takes until the Saga is wrapped-up. When I make a commitment to my readers, I stick with it.

Speaking of, none of this would be possible without those of you out there that are supporting me and spreading the word about my fiction.

You rock.

Well, don’t let me keep you any longer. You’ve got a book to read. And remember, too–your honest feedback helps me improve, so whether you want to leave it on one of the vendor sites, Facebook, Twitter, or just email it to me–I would be honored to have it.

Stay tuned.
