Got a new novella dropping live, next month. On the 18th. Light Up the Night. You can preorder now, if it looks interesting:
Dane Crockford is tired. Tired of the green energy crapping out
and leaving his wife Rose gasping for breath when their air conditioning
dies, tired of trying to hide his use of his own solar panels from the
nationalized electrical company, and tired of worrying about his
daughter and son-in-law, trapped in an abusive indenture program to pay
off their student loans. He’s not the only one, either. Everyone in his
home town is in a similar situation, many of them with their children
doing dangerous jobs without pay to offset crippling student debt. So
when his grandson Toby accidentally discovers an energy generation
method that isn’t wholly owned by the federal government, he jumps on
the possibility of building something that works, in spite of and around
the federal monopoly.
But what the monopoly doesn’t realize is
that their grip on Dane, and on his home town, is far less secure than
they think. When they disconnect his house from the power grid, they
have nothing to hold over him, to force him to work for small rebates on
his monthly bill. The utility has unleashed the power of a cranky old
man with a rare skill, and they’ve got no idea that they’ve tossed the
pebble that starts an avalanche.
When it drops live, it'll be available to borrow Kindle Unlimited.
There will be more announced in coming weeks, too. Cheers!
