In a fit of anti-oligarchy rancor a couple of months ago, I unpublished all three volumes of my Recall Chronicles from KDP (Amazon). Why? These were the first books I ever self-published, and in my naivety I eagerly took advantage of the “free ISBN” offered by CreateSpace (now KDP). I didn’t realize that this restricted me to distribution ONLY via Amazon. My plan is to republish all three books, but in a new format: Books 1 and 2 will come out in July as a single volume, with book 3 coming a bit later paired with the as yet unpublished book 4. All of these will publish under my own ISBN numbers so that they can be ordered and stocked by bookstores and libraries.

The Recall Chronicles are very political novels, and I had thought I might need to revise them some in light of what has happened over the past ten years. Instead, I found them to be even more pertinent today than they were ten years ago when the first book came out. A government dominated by plutocrats (aka oligarchs)? Check. A global pandemic? Check. Concern over altered images and manipulated social media? Check. Obsession with fertility and longevity? Check. A coalition of dissidents? Maybe?

Way of the Serpent pairs with Shadow of the Hare in a single volume titled The Resistance, which tells you a little about who the two main characters—Jenda Swain and Malia Poole—are. If you haven’t read the Recall Chronicles yet, get ready for a satisfying dive into a political world a hundred years hence that feels all too believable. Get ready for The Resistance! 

Cover reveal coming soon!
