Lambs Hide, Tigers Seek cover

fiction

a tale in noir—NOT Sci-Fi

$2.50 - the complete novel

In 2001, heiress Ellen Levinson vanished from a downtown Washington hotel under mysterious circumstances. Five years later, a series of blackmail letters lead investigator Alain Guest to Nashville, and into the local Goth and bondage scene, in search of the missing girl. Will he find Ellen alive... manage to avoid the blackmailers... or will his own fractured psyche finally shatter under the onslaught of such extreme and sexual lifestyles? *

My first non-Sci-Fi novel, a noir-style psychological drama with a little mystery thrown in.

"Great, great, GREAT book. Excellent story, really enjoyable characters, and the way you throw in things that us geeks enjoy, like gps, pdas, ebooks etc is really cool. Oh, and i actually cracked up a few times."

speculative fiction

$2.50 - the complete novel

Glen Jansen is seeking to improve his work and prospects when he purchases bleeding edge personal computer technology. But when the tech gives him unexpected access to strange parts of the net, and seemingly to other people's very thoughts, he finds himself on the run from the government, the mob, and a bunch of ersatz terrorist/patriots, all while trying to find out who's really controlling the country's networks! *

Worldfarm One cover

Worldfarm One

based on existing science

$2.50 - the complete novel

All Keith Maryland wants to do is leave the collapsed United States and start a new life in the U.N.'s ambitious Worldfarm project. But with American prejudice directed at him, demeaning office politics forced upon him, the distrust of his colleagues, and the unwanted attention of local drug smugglers—not to mention a mysterious past that he hopes to leave far behind—he soon wonders whether this was the best, or the worst decision of his life. *

Want to know what it's like being an immigrant in a country that doesn't like you? Neither does Keith Maryland. Sometimes, being a foreigner can suck.

Sol cover

Sol

fantasy fiction

$2.50 - the complete novel

The Solars are the grunts of the Union... unappreciated and maligned. Even the creation of a new drive engine, capable of taking the Union on an unprecedented trip to the Inner Arm, earns them no respect. But when the Solars discover that an alien race is on its way to take over their ancient homeworld, no race in the Union can stand in their way. *

A good old-fashioned space opera, with humans as the underdogs, lots of aliens, exploring other star systems, and an unexpected visit to the homeworld to save it from an impending invasion! Can't beat that with a blaster butt!

"...Once again Steve Jordan has produced a riveting read, part mystery, part sci-fi. And whilst you always know the good guys are going to win in the end there are still plenty of twists to keep you reading breathlessly till the final words. 9/10."

6 of One...
(half dozen of the pandas)

FREE to download!

Too much late night watching of The Prisoner and Animal Planet could do a writer serious damage...

The short story that was written as a lark for the less-than-serious side of the MobileRead e-book site, and swiftly took on a life of its own! This was written on-the-fly, and contributions from other MR members helped to mold it into the unutterably silly story that came out.

Tolja there was going to be incomprehesible dialogue! -pshrynk

Ok, which of your books should I buy to get more of this kind of humor? -Nekokami


I am amazed at your talent! ...Oh baby, the climax was thrilling! -DixieGal

Shush, don't put him off. -LazyScot

You must select the file and wait for it to render to your browser screen (mostly as gobblygook text). Then find the downloaded file in your handheld's browser cache, and save it to a Documents folder in your handheld's drive. Yes, this can take awhile, and is unfortunately pretty involved... not for the squeamish.

Another option is to install on your handheld a program called ftxPBrowser. ftxPBrowser can do the "Save As..." function of full browsers on your handheld.

The Onuissance Cells

based on existing science

FREE to download!

Onus \n (ca.1640): Obligation; Responsibility.

Onuissance \ onn-uh-sonns\ n (ca.2280): Historic period known as The Age of Responsibility.

A series of short stories following the daily lives of the men and women of Midland City, Jewel of Namerica. Primarily centered around the complement of Peacekeepers assigned to the station, led by Commander Thomas Beak, each story is a window upon the new era known as the Age of Responsibility, or Onuissance, and the people who will define that era.

"...worthy of being compared to the Lord of the Rings... This book was brilliant and I would recommend it to any-one who likes sci-fi or human interest stories. I was gripped by both the characters and the environment they lived in, and was left wanting more. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!   8/10"
