CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Today was a little busy as I finalised the edits on two books, one as my alter ego, Carlie Simonsen, and one as me, C.M. Simpson. I also designed the covers and uploaded them to Smashwords,  AmazonKindle and CreateSpace, so they'll hit distribution soon. Tag Man One as Carlie Simonsen: When Jerry sees something flash on a hill overlooking the air base where his brother works, he thinks it might be a bottle reflecting the sun. His brother takes a different view, and reports it to base security. They have not had time to investigate before the base is attacked, and Jerry must do his best to get his brother out alive. Tag Man One is the first chapter book in the Air Ace Adventures series. Set on an imaginary air base, it tells part of the story of two brothers, who share a love of flying and look out for each other. Tag Man One is available from Smashwords , Amazon-Kindle and CreateSpace and will be distributed from Nook, Kobo, Barnes and Noble and iTunes . Go

Here is the first chapter for Rocky to the Rescue . When Rocky wakes up one morning, he discovers his house is deserted. With his mother, father and little sister nowhere to be found in-doors, he goes outside and discovers the animals are missing, too. When aliens arrive, Rocky realises that something has gone horribly wrong. Stowing away in the alien skimmer, Rocky sets out on his first and most important rescue mission, ever. Carlie Simonsen’s Rocky to the Rescue is set on a station in the Australian outback, where help is often a long, long way away and the people must rely on themselves and each other. Twelve-year-old Rocky must either track down his family and take on alien invaders, or travel fifty miles to ask a neighbor for help. Well, what would any twelve-year-old do if they were in his shoes? Rocky to the Rescue is available from Smashwords , and will soon be available from Amazon-Kindle, CreateSpace, Kobo, iTunes, and Nook. Rocky to the Rescue Fir
