He ran uphill, meeting Summer and Monty at the point where the second car had careened off the road and imbedded itself in the jungle. The shredded back tires spun for a few moments more before coming to a stop.
The three bounty hunters surrounded the vehicle; their weapons pointed into the dark cab of the transport. Whoever interfered in the capture of their bounty was not on the acquisition list and was therefore expendable. But before they opened fire, they wanted to know why the driver had intervened. Was he a competitor, or an associate of Jroshin? They were about to find out.
Monty Pitts—a big bear of a man—ripped at the front door. He then reached in and unceremoniously pulled out the smaller occupant, throwing him to the ground. Gun barrels aimed at his head as flashlights flicked on, identifying the target.
A handsome, blue-eyed face with a stubble of a beard smiled up at them; his hands held up in surrender.
The three bounty hunters gasped.
“Hi, guys,” said Copernicus Smith. “How’s it going?”
“Copernicus! What the hell?” Summer yelled. She and Monty lowered their weapons, but not Tidus. “What are you doing here … and screwing with our bounty?”
Cautiously, Coop climbed to his feet.
“It’s a long story. Why don’t we run down to Adam’s place in Balamar and I’ll explain it to you. It’s quite an amusing tale.”

Author’s Notes
Thanks so much for reading book #2 of
The Adam Cain Chronicles,
Empires.
Next up is
Battle Plan
I want to take this opportunity to let you know what’s in store for 2020 and beyond, as well as updates about The Adam Cain Chronicles, and how it differs from its predecessor, The Human Chronicles Saga (THC).
First of all, each new book in The Adam Cain Chronicles (ACC) will come out once a month, generally around the 20th. Unlike what I did with many of the books in THC, the Adam Cain books will not be available for pre-order through Amazon. The reason: They’ll be out at the same time each month, so there’s no need. Just look for my email announcements or check on Amazon around the 20th of each month for the next Adam Cain adventure.
Another thing about the series: The books will be a little shorter than normal, generally around 40,000 to 50,000 words. Because of this, they’ll be priced lower than those in The Human Chronicles, at only $3.99 (compared to $4.98). I know, big savings! But every little bit helps, right?
This new writing/release strategy is designed so I can keep my loyal fans fed with more Adam Cain adventures, while also freeing me up to explore new series and story ideas. These new books/ideas include more volumes in my REV Warriors series, as well as the misadventures of galactic Realtor Jason King. I’ll also be introducing new series along the way, including a set of fantasy books I’ve been working on for a while (with a science fiction twist to them). They should appeal to readers of both sci-fi AND fantasy. At least that’s the plan.
In other news, I’m currently working on getting all my books into paperback. With almost 40 books on the market and only a handful of them in paperback, this isn’t a simple task. But I’m determined to get them all done by the end of the year, as well as having all the new releases for the year in paperback so I don’t fall behind—again.
Also, I currently have the last two REV Warriors books—REV: Revolution and REV: Retribution—being made into audiobooks. This takes a couple of months, so be looking for the announcements when they’re ready in your email (if you’re on my email list—which you SHOULD be!). Getting all my books into audio is another goal of mine for 2020. At the moment, I only have eight books in audio, with 30 to make up, not counting all the new releases for the year. Again, an ambitious goal, but something my readers have been asking for.
And while I have you here, I want to make another pitch for you to 1) Sign-Up for my Email List and 2) Join my private Facebook Fan Page. Both are free to join and are great ways for me to stay in touch with my fans. I love the interaction on Facebook. (And I often use the names of my Facebook fans in my books. That’s always fun.) Just click on the links provided to get things going.
And if/when you sign up for my email list, you’ll have the opportunity to get three free books as a bonus. For those who are on the list, you know I don’t spam you, only sending emails when I have something important to say, like when I have new releases out or other key information about my various series and writing projects. I encourage everyone to sign up. I don’t sell or share the list with anyone, so you won’t get inundated with emails from other writers. Again, follow the links in the Sign-Up Section to get on the list.
That’s it for now. Be looking for the next Adam Cain book coming out in February, along with all the exciting new stories I have lined up for the new year.
