Available for Pre-Order: Mack 'n' Me: Odyssey Omnibus #1

-

 Now that all the individual titles in the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series are available for purchase or pre-order, I'm concentrating on getting the omnibus collections out for those of you who like to pick up your series in sections or all at once.

There will be three collections: one for Books 1-3 (Origins, Blaedergil's Host, and Arach), one for Books 4-6 (The Transporter's Favor, Wolves of Alpha 9, and Diplomacy 101), and one containing all 6 books. While the first two collections will be available in ebook form on all platforms, I'm still deciding whether this will be the case for the 6-book collection, which may be available on all platforms except Amazon, due to some of the restrictions in place there. I need to think on that some more.

This First Collection - What's Changed?

The first collection, Mack 'n' Me: Odyssey Omnibus #1, gathers the first three titles - Origins, Blaedergil's Host, and Arach - under one title, and is a re-release of the earlier collection. It has been given a new cover and new front and back matter, and contains the updated version of Arach. It is now available for pre-order on a number of platforms with more to come, so I have provided a universal link here: https://books2read.com/u/4EPBwE and in each mention of the title and in the cover pictured below.

What's the Series About?

I'd like to say the entire series is about persistence when everything goes wrong...and the hope that, if you continue trying, something will finally go right, but my readers tell me it reminds me of a dysfunctional Firefly - and Heaven knows that crew was dysfunctional enough! - or that its kinda like grim-dark in space - and I'm not sure it's really that dark, but I'll take their word for it.

In short, it's a dark, paramilitary, action-adventure science-fiction novel set in a far-distant, and probably alternate, future where a small mercenary company tries to navigate its way through missions that almost always turn out to be more complicated than they appear...and it's about one individual who desperately wants a home - just not this one.

And this Collection of Books? 

This collection consists of the first three titles in the series, and covers the following:

From runaway to space adventurer and retrieval specialist, Jocelyn Cutter has come a long way. This omnibus collects the first three books of the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series chronicling her journey. Taken from the human traffickers aboard the ‘Lockyer’s Transport’, Cutter finds herself an unwilling conscript for Odyssey, an unaffiliated para-military organization dedicated to protecting the spaceways and all points in between. Kicking free of them, takes her onto the ‘Shady Marie’ and its not-so-merry band of mercenaries. Now she has to discover if she’s really leapt from the frying pan to the fire, or if life aboard the Shady going to be better than she dares to hope. Join her as she finds out exactly that.

NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.

Where Can I Find It?

Mack 'n' Me: Odyssey Omnibus #1 is published across a number of platforms, and I have included a universal link each time I've mentioned the title, and in the cover picture below.

Australian Insects: An Unknown Caterpillar eating Grevillea flower buds

-

So, this little guy nearly bought it when I caught it eating the still-forming buds on my Robyn grevillea, but then I thought I might like to see which particular butterfly was responsible, so I took some pictures and decided to keep an eye on it, so I knew when it pupated. The first shot - caterpillar happily nibbling on flower buds:  Yup - definitely nibbling: And here's another view. Note the little yellow lumps near its back end. Same day, but it was one of those cloudy days with variegated light. And it kept nibbling for quite some time: Stretching out to get the more tasty tidbits, and using its hind feet to keep a firm grip on the branch. Eventually it looped back on itself... ...and headed into denser foliage. It didn't always move in a straight line... How come caterpillars have more feet than butterflies? Eventually, it got into some much thicker growth (well, for a young grevillea, anyway), meaning it was somewhat prot

PokemonGo Tips - Earning the Berry Master Medal

-

Another relatively easy one to earn, but it takes time. Main tip? Feed Them All. Well, okay, it's a bit more like this: Only the berries you feed to a pokemon in a gym count. You can only feed berries to pokemon in a gym that belongs to your team. You can feed up to a maximum of 10 berries to each pokemon. You can feed any pokemon that belongs to a team member, as well as your own. You can feed your team's pokemon from home, as long as you have a pokemon in the same gym - as last week's post showed. It's interesting, but really annoying if you accidentally feed a golden razzberry to a pokemon in a gym... just sayin'. Sometimes, not having a berry on hand to help catch a pokemon is also annoying - especially when you've just fed all yours to your team's pokemon - so think about that before you go all out stuffing their faces; the medal is pretty, but catching stuff is cool, too. Also, pokemon are little piggies when it comes to berries. And that&

An alien autumn. An unseen predator. Deadly burrowers and an oncoming winter. And bugs big enough to ride. Joaquin only wants to warn his daughter of a new danger. To keep her safe. To make her understand her mother isn’t coming back, while keeping her alive. But what if he’s wrong? What if Mariam really did survive? What if, when everything looks like it’s going wrong, it’s really going right? Autumnal Threat is Joaquin's story. It is a father's story...and the story of a husband who misses his wife, and wants to keep his daughter safe from a new threat on their frontier world. It's a story of hope, and not giving up, and of family, as well as an exploration of what an alien eco-system might look like. It was a lot of fun to write. You can find links to this newly released, stand-alone, science-fiction short story on this Books2Read page: https://books2read.com/u/mgyopK or read an earlier version in A Collection of Lost Ships and Colonies .
