Landscape has received another 5 Star review. The gentleman is himself an author of pulp space opera so the review is even more meaningful. He’s posted the review on Amazon and on his blog, Pulp Den. Here’s an excerpt… “Right out of the pulp magazines of the 1930s & ‘40s, the author spins her tale […]

The physical book launched as a soft-cover through Amazon today, January 15, 2018. It will also be out as an eBook […]
