• This week I talk about how it is perfectly normal to feel raw and exposed and emotionally vulnerable when you share your writing with others. It gets easier, but it takes time. I also clarify my opinion on HB2 and where I’m coming from with that subject.

    Oh, and if you have a second or two, post a review or comment on iTunes! It helps!

    Enjoy!

    From Holler To Holler
    By
    Jake Bible

    The thunder rolled across the mountains, bouncing and echoing from holler to holler, a cacophony of Nature’s fury and ultimate will.

    Tully walked the trail, one eye on the steep drop to his left, the other on the ever darkening sky.

    “We gonna make it, Papa?” Nick asked. “To the top?”

    “We’re gonna make it, son,” Tully replied, but was unsure.

    They had a strong lead, but every once in a while, between the cracks and booms, he could hear the hounds.

    “You ain’t gonna let the Devil take me, right Papa?” Nick asked.

    Tully had no answer to that.

    Cheers!

  • Howdy, y’all!

    Quick announcement about two new releases.

    First, there is my latest novel, Drop Team Zero! Set in the same universe as Salvage Merc One, this novel is part of a companion series, but isn’t a sequel to SM1. New characters and totally separate story.

    Dropteam2 With the War treaty signed, the Galactic Fleet is now on permanent stand down. But a treaty doesn’t mean an end to the violence, corruption, piracy, or tyranny in the galaxy. The Galactic Fleet’s solution is a crack team of Special Ops Marines: Drop Team Zero.

    Made up of the absolute fighting best from humans, alien races, hybrids, and even AI androids, Drop Team Zero is called on to handle the worst of the worst, missions that others would tag as pure suicide. But when Drop Team Zero arrives, the only threat of suicide is for the ones that stand in their way.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The next new release is the audiobook of Dead Team Alpha! Lots of teams happening today! I know folks have been waiting patiently for this to be in audio format, so thanks for sticking with me, y’all!

    DeadTeamAlpha-EcoverIn the post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested wasteland, there is one beacon of safety in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains: The Stronghold.

    For decades, the inhabitants have fortified and defended the Stronghold from zombie hordes, building their society and culture on military precision.

    And chosen from the best of the best is Denver Team Alpha. DTA is the elite strike force used to rescue survivors and refugees that have made it to the hellish wasteland of Denver below. But because of the unbelievable risks, and high mortality rate, DTA has come to stand for something else: Dead Team Alpha.

    Now DTA will be put to the test as something far worse than zombies comes at them out of the wasteland.

  • Howdy, y’all!

    This week I talk in depth about NC House Bill 2, called the “Bathroom Bill”, and how it is effecting local businesses and why a blanket boycott is a useless exercise and does WAY more harm than good. You’ll want to listen if you have been paying attention to this issue at all. I set a few things straight.

    I also talk about other things, including the latest HWA kerfuffle.

    Enjoy!

    Cartography, Calligraphy
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Cartography?” Millard asked. “How in the bloody hell will cartography help us survive this ordeal?”

    “Because proper penmanship is integral to spell creation,” Nardle replied. “And you can’t have spell casting without spell creation.”

    “You do realize cartography is about maps and calligraphy is about penmanship and such, right?” Millard asked.

    Nardle blinked.

    “What have you done?” Millard asked.

    “May I borrow your phone?” Nardle responded, avoiding the question. “I need to send a very important text.”

    It was already too late. Behind them a mountain began to grow, obliterating everything, and everyone in its path.

    “Oops?” Nardle said quietly.
