EVERYTHING* IS FREE!

 

 

To celebrate my 50th birthday, I'm giving away my books.

Yes, Lords of Kobol and Colonies of Kobol are free (as is Caprica), but now my other scifi/horror ebooks are, too.  No longer will you have to shell out the princely sum of 99¢ to read these monoliths of modern literature.

DISPLACED: A Baltimore police officer awakens in his car, sitting atop a chunk of road in the middle of a cornfield. For the next several hours, he fights his way through strange creatures, meets up with odd companions and comes under siege by terrifying beasts. Displaced is an action-packed, sci-fi mystery that will keep you turning the page until the very end.  

DIARY OF A SECOND LIFE: Three hundred years after the end of the world as we know it, young Wess Marin feels compelled to leave his insular community and strike out in hopeful desperation on his own. He aims to stop the menace that still ravages mankind, but on his way, he will encounter terror, both from the living and the dead. Wess finds a gleaming city, but will they help him realize his goal?

8 DAYS: Imagine the end of the world is coming in eight days. What will you do in the time left to you? Now, imagine that the world doesn't end after all. How do you feel about what you've done? Follow the stories of several people and the world as they tackle these questions in the near-apocalypse novel 8 Days.

THE ART OF DEATH: An evil art museum curator has found a Babylonian artifact and performs a ceremony in the light of a Blood Moon to gain eternal life. He needs sacrifices, lots of sacrifices, and he gathers monsters from the world's folklore to do his bidding. Follow his victims as they fight for their lives in one hellish night at the museum. Vampires, werewolves, mummies, and more await you in The Art of Death!

Check out the Scifi/Horror tab on my website for links!  Enjoy!  And be sure you leave a glowing review, too!

* - Not everything is free.  My sexy adult books are not.  Neither are my shirts and posters and stuff on Etsy.  But the other books are.  Feel free to wish me a happy birthday by buying a poster or something.

Free Books for Halloween

Just because I'm a good guy, I wanted to hand out some treats for Halloween.  In this case, my pair of "scary" books.  These will be free and all I ask in return is that you rate and review them.  And maybe share them with people you think will like them.  OK?

First up, my "teen road trip zombie novel":

Three hundred years after the end of the world as we know it, young Wess Marin feels compelled to leave his insular community and strike out in hopeful desperation on his own. He aims to stop the menace that still ravages mankind, but on his way, he will encounter terror, both from the living and the dead. Wess finds a gleaming city, but will they help him realize his goal?

Join this young adult on an adventure of self discovery. Armed only with a blade and his wits, Wess must traverse many wild miles to bring about an end to the Darkness.

The persistence of hope, the triumph of will over adversity, the denial of superstition ... to achieve these things, Wess must fight the inhumanity of some, the horror of others and his own doubts.

Find it HERE and use code "SU98T" to get it for FREE.



Next, my "balls-out monster bash":

Dr. Mason Karlow is a distinguished art museum director and curator with decades of experience around the globe. He's entering his twilight years as he prepares to open his latest and greatest facility. He's also quite evil.

In a bid for eternal life, Karlow has found a Babylonian artifact and must perform an ancient ceremony in the light of a Blood Moon. He needs sacrifices, lots of sacrifices, and he gathers monsters from the world's folklore to do his bidding.

Follow Karlow's victims as they fight for their lives in one hellish night at the museum. Vampires, werewolves, mummies, and more await you in The Art of Death!

Thanks again.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Did you get a new Kindle, Nook, iPad, Fintoozler, or other device?  Fill it up with my books.

My Lords of Kobol books are always FREE.  Download them in a host of different file formats for your device's needs HERE.

Displaced is a scifi, time travel action piece.  A Baltimore cop wakes up on a farm in Georgia ... along with cavemen, dinosaurs, a robot, and more.  Sounds crazy, but it's fun.

Get it for 99¢ at Smashwords here.  Also available at B&N, Kobo, iTunes, and Amazon.

Diary of a Second Life is a post-post-apocalyptic zombie story.  It's not like any zombie thing you've seen.  This is set centuries after the end of the world we know and it follows one teen as he breaks out of his insular community to try and understand himself and the world.  Crassly, I call it a "teen zombie road trip novel," but it's deeper than that.

Get it for just 99¢ at Smashwords here.  Also available at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

Whereas Diary takes place after the end of the world, 8 Days takes place in a world that almost ended.  Imagine what it would be like to discover that an asteroid was only a week away from destroying all life on the planet?  What would you do with your remaining time?  Now ... imagine that the asteroid missed.  How do you feel about what you've done?  Those are the basic questions posed to all humanity in 8 Days, my "near apocalypse" novel.

Get it for just 99¢ at Smashwords here.  Also available at Amazon, B&N, and iTunes.

The Art of Death is a horror action novel that follows an evil old man, an art museum director.  He's designed a new museum, found a Babylonian artifact, and gathered monsters from the world's folklore for one purpose: to kill a lot of people so he can live forever.  Vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, zombies, and a whole lot more populate this supernatural Die Hard of a story.

Get it for just 99¢ at Smashwords here.  Also available at Amazon, B&N, and iTunes.



Maybe you want something more ADULT?  Yes, I've written some erotica, too.

Sexcalation is a semi-autobiographical story about a married couple who end up having "fun" (shall we say) with another couple next door.  It started off as a sex-filled romance novel with little-to-no romance, but it ended up as a bit more than that.

If you get Sexcalation HERE at Smashwords, use coupon code BP27Z to get it for just $2.99.

The Red Kick is written like a comic book series.  The action (both in the bedroom and not) is written with POW, BANG, BIFF punch-ups.  It follows the titular character, a stripper who uses her seedy nightlife for intel on the criminal underbelly of her city.  When her time on the pole is done, she puts on her mask and becomes a vigilante who prowls the streets and puts a stop to nefarious deeds.  In this series, she uncovers a plot that could destroy her city and kill thousands.

You can download the first "issue" HERE for FREE in multiple formats.

If you like that and want all five "issues," you can get it HERE at Smashwords for just $2.99 if you use the coupon code NT23S.

Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

Welcome!

First thing's first: my name is Trey and I'm a dork.

A few years ago after watching the end of Battlestar Galactica, I knew there were some things I wished had been explored further.  Though I enjoyed the end very much, I understood that the producers and writers didn't necessarily want to answer every question posed.  So ...

I decided to explore the ancient history of the show.  Since I like mythology, that era had some of my biggest questions.  I pondered it for a couple of months and then I thought I would undertake the writing of that history.  Fast forward a couple of years, I've got three books on the matter, spanning more than five thousand years ... the end of which is set some two thousand years before the show and yet inextricably tied.

First, let me say that if you haven't seen all of Battlestar Galactica, perhaps this isn't for you.  (Caprica isn't as necessary to see for these books.)  Skip down to Displaced and read that non-BSG scifi book.

Next, check out this "video" I posted which sort of sets up the books.  After you've read the books, please know that you can hang out here on the blog and check out all sorts of "bonus materials," almost like a DVD. Pictures, maps, commentary and much more.


"But wait," you're saying, "how do I know these don't suck?"  Well, I appreciate your candor.  Feel free to read this collection of reviews to assuage your concerns.

Lords of Kobol - Book One: Apotheosis can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for FREE at Smashwords here.  Also available at iTunes, Kobo, and B&N.  All for free.

Basic synopsis: introduces you to the gods at the height of their power, as well as the creation and later exodus of the Thirteenth Tribe.

For Book One, here's the post detailing the map in the book, along with a larger version.

Lords of Kobol - Book Two: Descent can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for FREE at Smashwords here.  Also available at iTunes, Kobo, and B&N.  All for free.

Basic synopsis: primarily a flashback to the gods' descent from Mt. Olympus and the beginning of their reign over mankind, strife between Prometheus and Zeus, etc.

For Book Two, here's a post on the map I made for that book and here's one about asteroid impacts.

Lords of Kobol - Book Three: The Final Exodus can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for FREE at Smashwords here.  Also available at iTunes, Kobo, and B&N.  All for free.

Basic synopsis: the end of the Lords' dominion, rise of Cylons, the "Blaze," Tomb of Athena and the exodus of man.

For Book Three, here are a few maps (including the City of the Gods), propaganda of the gods and details on the Book of Pythia.

Trilogy-wise (all with major spoilers), here's a post of deleted scenes, a glossary of terms and, finally, an article to address the questions of how I tied the books to the show.  Here's that huge post on the theology of the show and my books.  It includes Book Four spoilers, so beware of that.

That's the trilogy.  But wait, there's more ...

Lords of Kobol - Book Four: Tales From Ancient Days can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for FREE at Smashwords here.  Also available at iTunes, Kobo, and B&N.  All for free.

Basic synopsis: this is tough.  Essentially, I wanted to explore some things I couldn't in the original trilogy.  This is a completely different version of the story and told in a Tolkien-esque fashion.  There's more mysticism, mythology and so on.

For Book Four, here's the map for this book and here's an article addressing how I tackled certain show-related questions in this volume.

*** For all of the Lords of Kobol books, here's a huge post that outlines the theology of the two TV shows and the four novels.  Please, only read that after you've read the books.  And seen the show.  It's in-depth and addresses many questions.  Very important. ***

Lords of Kobol - Book Five: Of Gods and Titans can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for FREE at Smashwords here.  Also available at iTunes, Kobo, and B&N.  All for free.

Basic synopsis: we go back to the trilogy with this prequel that details the creation of the Titans and how Zeus and his Olympians overthrew them.

For Book Five, here are the maps, designing the Caesar's seal, the look of Cylons, world-building with language, mythology, real-world theology & history, and a glossary of terms.

ALSO (and trilogy-wide stuff is discussed), there's the prequel trap, the problem with BSG, my workspace, BSG theology 1, BSG theology 2, and a finale Q&A.



BUT WAIT; THERE'S MORE.

Not only have I written these four BSG-related books (free to download, I remind you), but I'm in the process of publishing non-BSG works, too.

Displaced can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for $2.99 at Smashwords here.  Also available at B&N, Kobo, iTunes, and Amazon.

Basic synopsis: Baltimore cop wakes up in his car on a farm far from home.  Lots of weirdness happens after that.  (Prehistoric animals, robots ... you get the idea.)  Sci-fi, action packed, kind of a mystery.  Think Lost but set on a farm and with a more solid ending.

For Displaced, here's a post with a map of the farm and here's one with another spoilery map and a size comparison chart for the various animals.

Diary of a Second Life can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for $2.99 at Smashwords here.  Also available at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

Basic synopsis: three centuries after an apocalypse wrought by the undead (yes, zombies), a teen named Wess Marin decides he must leave his insular community in order to survive.  This book details his attempts to leave the past behind and maybe even cure the evil that has destroyed the world.

For Diary of a Second Life, here's post number one on the illustrations, post number two on the illustrations, the original outline and plan for the novel, an article explaining the science of my zombies compared to other fictional zombies and a post on the real-world geography in the book.

Sexcalation, my very adult erotica novel, can be downloaded in just about every imaginable format for $3.99 at Smashwords.  Also available at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes & Noble.

Basic synopsis: semi-autobiographical account of a guy getting laid, getting married, trying to get laid with his wife and then the couple becoming involved with the sexy couple who moves in nearby.

(Read the Sexcalation blog, the porn-laden Sexcalation Tumblr and Sexcalation Twitter, all of which are basically inactive at this point.)

The Red Kick, my superhero erotica series, can be downloaded in one compilation for $3.99 from Amazon, Smashwords, iTunes, and Barnes & Noble.

Issue #1 is FREE and can be downloaded from Smashwords.

Basic synopsis: a masked citizen works as a stripper to learn the evil plans of her city's ne'er-do-wells and then gears up to fight them.  Fun "Batman"-style "BIFF! POW! BANG!" narrative both for the fighting action and the bedroom action.
