0.99 Promo!
My Amazon bestselling sci-fi novel will be on 0.99 promotion from September 12 to September 16. Here is a taste (This is from the first human-alien battle):
Another Alien Prank
The aliens in my novel are a race of pranksters. This is another example of their weird sense of humor (and mine).
The First Prank
The aliens in my book are a race of pranksters. This is the first time they meet our human heroes, who in the previous scene were standing in front of a firing squad.
The First Space Battle
Everyone seems to like The Crimson Deathbringer because of its humor, but there are several battle scenes. This is the first on in Chapter 2:
Firing Squad
This is when our heroes find themselves in front of a firing squad at the end of chapter 3.
Final Battle (and Game of Thrones Reference)

The Beginning
The Crimson Deathbringer has just hit the No. bestseller spot both in Amazon US and Amazon UK. To celebrate, I am going to share how the story starts. This is when Jim and Liz go home and find Kurt there.
Mind Control
This is one of my favorite scenes in the book. Tarq, who is an alien, has used a mind-control machine called MICI to control his human allies.
The First Space Battle
One week after her release, The Crimson Deathbringer was No. 1 on Amazon Hot New Releases list, ahead of two Star Wars novels. She kept trading places with them as either No 1 or No 2 for the entire first month of her life, finishing strongly on top spot for the last five days of the official 30-day “new release” period, a fact about which I constantly bragged on social media. My “I’ve been asked to write the script for the new Star Wars movie because of this” tweet went viral, and apparently a lot of people took it seriously because I received several “really?” and “congratulations!” messages. I bet my other tweets (“Eat dirt, Star Wars! No, Don’t. Seriously. I still love you.” And “Yes we can!!”) made more than a few people laugh too. As a Star Wars fan myself, I’m going to proud of the fact that my little indie novel competed against (and won) not one but two Star Wars books until I die. It’s been an honor. I'm going o share the first space battle in the book. Enjoy:)
Fighting the Devil
My book has just hit No.1 in Amazon's Hot New Releases List. To celebrate this, I am going to share a small sample of the final battle. Major spoiler alert! Maada is the bad guy, obviously.

Execution!
This is when our heroes and up in front of a firing squad at the end of chapter 3.

My Favorite Scene
This is one of my favorite scenes early in the book. Tarq, an alien prankster, has used MICI (Memories, Information and Capabilities Implanter) to make humans follow his orders without question, and out heroes are fighting back. Major, major spoiler here:)
Martin Luther King
I love the Martin Luther King reference here:) Tarq is an alien, and MICI is short for Memories, Information and Capabilities Implanter, a machine in charge of assigning ranks and duties in the fleet.
