Trading for War

 Well, it's finally done. On the last day of my promised deadline. So, not sure if that is a "well done!" for me, or a "you just scraped by, next time do better".

Trading for War now available on Amazon -- exclusively for the next 90 days, which means you can read it in Kindle Unlimited.

This summer has flown by -- mostly in my own home due to you know what. My next book "Ghost in the Game" has progressed slightly, now at 48,000 words -- about 150-160 pages. It is a break from the Yrdens and will be a stand-alone novel, not part of any series.

Gault McGirr, a detective in a slightly dystopian near-future American city, gets a visit from an old girlfriend, Connie -- whom his best friend took away from him. Connie calls in an old promise he made her and asks him to find his ex-best friend, John, for her; he had disappeared. To find John, and finally exorcise this old ghost from his past, Gault discovers that he will have to go into "The Game" a virtual reality game where one can "do anything you can do in real life -- only better",something he has sworn never to do.

Once inside FantasyWorld, fighting orcs, goblins and even the odd elf or human, Gault discovers that this is more than just finding a missing person. He's caught in a web of conflicting emotions and ideologies, and no matter what he does, what side he chooses, he can't win.

So, now that Trading for War is live, I'm hoping I can focus on "Ghost in the Game" and get it out before the end of the year.

Stay safe, everyone. 

And if you've a few hours you don't know what to do with, consider picking up a copy of Trading for War.
