Screwing Up Time Book Three Teaser

Now that the short story, "Screwing Up Mongolia" is available. Click here. I thought I'd start telling you all a little bit about book three in the Screwing Up Time series.

Here's a color engraving of one of the settings book three. Yes, one of the settings means that Henry and Miranda travel to more than one time. I'd love to show you more pictures, but most of the images are subject to copyright laws. This old image is done by Martin van Heemskerck. (I love those Dutch artists. He also did an engraving of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.)



So, readers, what place/time do you think this is? Leave me a message in the comments.

Screwing Up Mongolia Release

After a few more gray hairs that I gathered from formatting issues, I'm thrilled to announce that "Screwing Up Mongolia" is live on Amazon. "Screwing Up Mongolia" is a short story set between Screwing Up Babylon and book three. (It was originally published in the Winter Wonders anthology.) And it's available for 99 cents, Amazon's lowest price.Click here.

Here's the blurb.

As if being a teen guy isn’t hard enough, Henry is also a time traveler with a job to do. And a horde of Mongols who don’t want it done.

It should’ve been easy. All Henry and his girlfriend Miranda needed to do was time travel into a Mongolian caravan, steal some mammoth tusk, and get out. But thanks to a peacock, the Khan’s warriors attack them with scimitars swinging. Only Henry’s Granddad can help, and he doesn't know who they are.

Screwing Up Mongolia

I had hoped to have "Screwing Up Mongolia" available by today. But I ended up spending most of the week helping a friend who was in the hospital. But my goal for this week is to get the story properly formatted and uploaded to Amazon.

After that, I want to finish editing book three in the Screwing Up Time series. I'm so close, less than thirty pages before I send the novel off for editing crit.

Thanks, everyone, for being patient.

Here's the SUM cover in case you missed it last week.

UPDATE: "Screwing Up Mongolia" is now live at Amazon. Click here.

Screwing Up Mongolia, Cover Reveal




A special thanks to Tara Rimondi for her amazing cover art. Here's a link to her website.

Here's the blurb.

As if being a teen guy isn’t hard enough, Henry is also a time traveler with a job to do. And a horde of Mongols who don’t want it done.

It should’ve been easy. All Henry and his girlfriend Miranda needed to do was time travel into a Mongolian caravan, steal some mammoth tusk, and get out. But thanks to a peacock, the Khan’s warriors attack them with scimitars swinging.  Only Henry’s Granddad can help, and he doesn't know who they are.

"Screwing Up Mongolia" is a Screwing Up Times series short story and comes between Screwing Up Babylon and book three. It was originally published in Winter Wonders, an anthology published by Compass Press.

If all goes well, I hope to have "Screwing Up Mongolia" available soon. I'll definitely post a blog when it's live.
