One of the many things I’ve been working on behind the scenes around here is a distribution agreement for our books with a site called Libboo. What is Libboo? In their own words:
Libboo is a publishing startup, with partners and supporters ranging from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to the National Literacy Trust and the BBC. Libboo aims to help authors (whether they have a traditional publishing deal or have self-published) increase their chance of success by pairing their books with the correct “buzzers”. A buzzer is someone who has influence in their personal community and who, most importantly, is passionate about sharing the books they love. Libboo believes that a key part of making an author successful is to pair them with others who will share their work and help expose it to a wider audience.
It’s an exciting prospect, and working with Libboo has been a pleasure. They started their pilot program on Monday, and my novel Pariah is one of the first books published through their site. The Libboo pilot program will continue for the next three months, and over those months, Libboo will also be publishing editions of Paul’s novel, The Sol-Bect War, Part 1, and our latest anthology, Scribings Vol 2: Lost Civilizations.
If you love reading and this is the first time you’ve heard of Libboo, please check out their site. I’ll make additional posts when our other books become available on their site.

Fireteam Zulu has reached the iTunes and Sony Reader ebook stores. If you’ve been waiting for it to arrive in your favorite stores, the wait is now over… Fireteam Zulu is now in all of the major ebook stores we distribute to!
The year is 2254. Humanity has expanded into our solar system – colonizing the moon, Mars, Phobos, Deimos, and several asteroids. We have space stations and secret military bases. But we’ve spread too far, too fast, and the military cannot adequately police the solar system. Many hopeful colonists are preyed upon by pirates who take what they can with little opposition.
Fireteam Zulu is a group of ex-marines who band together to help those people, hunting down pirates wherever they can find them. Then one day they discover that they are being hunted.
