On Canon V, the colonists live underground—those
that can, anyway. Those that are born unable, I help guide to the surface, and
then I try to warn them of the creatures that come from beyond the rifts. Some
listen. Most run away screaming. With the creatures coming more often, now, the
last thing any of us expected was for corporate intervention. Now, we just have
to work out if they’re offering a deal worth taking, or if we’d be better off
in the caves.

JUST RELEASED: Freeman's Choice by C.M. Simpson
C.M. Simpson's latest novel, Freeman's Choice, is now available as an ebook from Amazon and Smashwords, as a PDF from DriveThruFiction, as a print-on-demand, large-print trade paperback from the CreateSpace store. This science-fiction-fantasy blend is about journeys, the journey to freedom and safety of a couple fleeing a life of slavery, and the journey into a new era of the long-hidden folk of legend, the dragons, and the hidden alien Ancients.
When Lorellan Cartwright finds buying back the
woman he loves an impossible task, he promptly steals her away, but escaping
from the criminally minded third duke of Aristoc and reaching a place of safety
are two very different things. And stealing from the duke embroils Lorellan and
Megan in the politics of crime lords, long forgotten races of fantasy, aliens
and interstellar law enforcement. Can they escape the tangled webs woven by
others and find refuge? Or will they join the ranks of those who tried before
and failed?

Pre-Order Available: The Starman’s Arrival by C.M. Simpson
Wednesday, saw the pre-order go live for C.M. Simpson's first-contact science-fiction tale called The Starman's Arrival. It is available from Smashwords, Amazon, and via Draft2Digital distribution in e-book form. It will also be available from DriveThruFiction as a PDF. The official release date is September 8, 2017.
Knocking over those crates of beer was a
death sentence. I did it on purpose, in front of everyone, and then I did the
only thing I could—I ran. I think I saved the starman. Now, the only way I’ll
know, is if the supply ship comes in time to drive the raiders away—and I get
back out of Blacklegs’ Forest alive. Wish me luck, okay? I’m gonna need it.
