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...
