  1. I'm currently reading "Priestess of the Eggstone" and hadn't realized it was the 2nd book. I'm too far in now, so will finish it, but just went and bought "Nexus Point" so I could read it, too. Dace is a hoot! Now I'll have to track down a bunch of your books, so thanks for adding to my TBR pile... *grin*

  3. I just finished the Smashwords edition of Nexus Point & really liked it. Please release the rest of the series in epub format. Paper is more expensive, clumsily, and, more importantly, a waste of natural resources.

    My epub reader (Moon+ Reader Pro) has tts capability, so I can read the story, and, if I'm driving, continue the story by listening to it.

  4. They are out in ebook formats - this site has more options linked - http://www.altairanempire.com Click on the publisher link for books 2 and 3.
    Or here's the direct link for Priestess of the Eggstone - book 2 - http://journal-store.com/bookstore/priestess-of-the-eggstone/
    Books 4-6 are only out for the Kindle at this point, but they should be available through Smashwords in all formats sometime in December of this year.

    Thanks for your comment. I appreciate hearing it.

  7. I saw that. Thanks!

    Poisoned Pawn is through the same publisher as Priestess of the Eggstone so you should be able to find it on their site. The rest of the series is self-published and I've been experimenting with Kindle Select. The rest of the series will be published on Smashwords in the next couple of months when that contract expires.

  8. Stan, this blog is just a placeholder until I get a real website up. I blog weekly at The Far Edge of Normal on Blogger. You can follow that blog or look up Altairan Empire series on Facebook. The blog feeds post through there and on Google+. Or just follow me on Google+.
