Today is the final day of the 99¢/99p sale of my novel PIRATES OF MARZ. I had a lot of fun writing it, expanding from a short story I'd sold to @agmmcp62.bsky.social & @dackleymcphail.bsky.social.
Sadly, it only has 10 reviews on the Zon. Please show it some love.

HEY ARTSTS!
I continue my quest to find a new cover artist for my FREELANCE COURIER series. I'm seeking someone who can come close to the feel of these first four covers, both in terms of my protag and the overall color palette.

Monday's labs checked for Multiple Myeloma in my bone marrow (the ratio of Kappa Light Chains (the cancerous ones) to Lambda Light Chains)
09/2019 my ratio was 1607:1
Monday, 1.33:1
MM is described as incurable. Not so. The cure is to get Leukemia, score a perfect transplant, and slowly recover.
