Exciting #writing news happening here these days. Due to the sale of #CandlemarkandGleam, the small but mighty publisher originally based in #Bennington #Vermont, my 2017 space noir novella, Piper Deez and the Case of the Winter Planet is getting re-released! The first edition is still available (ebook only) on C&G's website: https://www.candlemarkandgleam.com/shop/piper-deez-and-the-case-of-the-winter-planet/ . The new version will be out soon.

Piper Deez and the Case of the Winter Planet

Seamlessly fusing hardboiled sleuthing with interplanetary politics, Piper Deez is a neat twist on “Outland Meets Smilla’s Sense of Snow” that cries out to become a high-tension movie in Blade Runner mode.
