CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

The third instalment in the Strays of Lunar One series is half-way through being written, and is not yet available for pre-order. It has a tentative release date, which I'll share once I know it's solid. This book finds Oliver and Lewis with the tables turned as Aylin Starshadow shows them exactly how well a human can integrate into lupari society...even as she seeks to aid the pack trying to retrieve her, and eliminate them, without allowing either of those two things to happen. In the meantime, here is it's cover, created by Jake at JCaleb Design .

The second edition of Mack 'n' Me: Origins released on January 6, and is now available once more. What's changed? Story-wise, not a lot. The book has had a re-edit and received a new cover (courtesy of Moonchild Ljilja at Fantasy Book Design ) and new front and back matter, ensuring it gives a solid base for the stories that follow. 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...
