Why do I add so many visuals to my thrillers?

In the wake (see what I did there?) of the discovery that The Savage Deeps was actually a Semi-Finalist in the 2022 Kindle Book Awards, I just discovered that The War Beneath was also a Semi-Finalist, three years earlier!
On Saturday, I drove up to Indigo Guelph in Guelph, Ontario. Indigo — especially this store — has been so welcoming to me since the The War Beneath came out in 2018.
The trilogy appeared on Kindle and iBooks a couple of weeks ago; the first three books in the series are now also on Kobo.
When I was a teenager, I read a lot of 1950s Science Fiction. It was the tail end of the “Golden Age of Science Fiction.” Asimov, Pohl, Heinlein, del Rey and more. I fell in love with the genre because of those books. They sparked my imagination and took me to fascinating locations in futuristic settings. The stakes were always huge. It’s those books that really taught me how important YA Science Fiction is. Readers get hooked on the genre early; it’s what happened to me.
I’m thrilled to announce this to you today.
I will be at Indigo Guelph from 6:00 – 9:00 PM on Friday, November 12, 2021 to sign copies of Fatal Depth, The War Beneath, and The Savage Deeps!
I haven’t been able to do in-person signings due to Covid restrictions in Ontario, but we’ve now moved into reopening retail, and recently I was able to visit some stores and sign copies of my brand new Sci-Fi / TechnoThriller Fatal Depth, just out from Fitzhenry & Whiteside, Ltd.
Last Saturday evening, I watched via Zoom as The Savage Deeps achieved First in Category in the 2020 CYGNUS Awards. I want to express my gratitude to the judges, organizers, my readers, fans, family, and friends.
The Savage Deeps has made the shortlist for the 2020 CYGNUS Science Fiction Award.
