To celebrate completion of the Thunderstrike Diaries series I've reduced the ebook of System Failure to 99p/99c.

If you fancy a story of a sapient conscientious objector warship
and a bioengineered lion fighting galaxy-wide presidential corruption, give it a try.

underdrawinf for concept art for cover of new fantasy book series.

Perspective and scale all wrong, as usual.

Good job the cover designer's only going to use it for reference.
