Greetings,
Welcome to the bi-weekly newsletter of Science Fiction and Fantasy Author, Greg Sorber. If you’re receiving this newsletter, it means you signed up to download a copy of Duel of Destiny from a promotion or after reading Pax Machina. No matter how you found your way to my newsletter, WELCOME!
Although I’d love for you to stay subscribed to receive news about my forthcoming books, you are free to unsubscribe at any time.
We’ve already slipped past the middle of September and the year marches on. Here in Southern California, I’ve noticed the mornings have started to cool off. This means it isn’t hot the second you step outside. The mornings feel refreshing now. It’s a nice change of pace. In some areas, the leaves may start changing colors soon, but most of that action doesn’t happen until December for us!
In Southern California we really have four seasons, Less Summer (Autumn), Not Summer (Winter), Almost Summer (Spring), and Summer (Summer). Less Summer and Not Summer are my favorite times of the year. You can go outside without breaking a sweat and walk the dogs without them getting too hot. More importantly for this newsletter, I find it an inspiring time of year to write! This year I’ll working on releasing Mechs and Machinations (Mechhaven Book Two) and writing Mechhaven Book Three. More on both of those below.
What about you? Do you have any strange or more realistic names for the seasons based on where you live? If so, let me know!
Mechhaven Missives
- Edits for Mechs and Machinations are coming along nicely. My editor sent me a message a few days ago saying he was about halfway through and expected to be done soon (any day now at the time of this letter). Once he sends those to me, I’ll have about a month to go through and apply any of his suggested edits and prepare the manuscript for release. It’s going to be a busy month, but I can’t wait to share Mechs and Machinations with you.
- I should receive the files for the cover of Mechhaven Book 3 back from the artist any day as well. I’ll be revealing the title and cover for Book 3 about the time I release Mechs and Machinations. It’s a striking cover to go along with a striking story.
- Since the last newsletter, I have officially started writing Mechhaven Book 3. I’m 15,000 words in and have hit or exceeded my daily word target goals. So far I’m pleased with the story and am thrilled with the progress. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, I plan on wrapping up the first draft by the end of the year.
- Questions??? If you have any general, non-spoilery type questions regarding any of the Mechhaven books or novellas, send them my way. I’d love to include some questions and answers in the upcoming newsletters.
Reminder
I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be participating in my first “live” signing event in Las Vegas on November 12, 2021. If you live in the area or feel like traveling, below is just a small sample of the authors of all genres that will be taking part.
My books will be displayed at a table with newer authors, so I don’t have a set schedule. If you’re interested in meeting me or getting a book signed, please let me know and we can make arrangements to meet. I’ll keep you posted on additional details in the next few newsletters.
For more information, you can join the Vegas Author Signing 2021Facebook Group.

Featured Promotion
This week’s Featured Promotion comes from author, Dayne Edmondson.
Ghost Ranger (The Seven Stars Universe Book 1)
My name is Rachel. I died and rose again.
I was an ordinary high school girl when a viral plague spread across my planet. Those that died rose again as mindless zombies. Fortunately, science came to the rescue and gave me back my mind. As a conscious zombie, I gained exceptional powers – speed, strength and more. That, plus a secret heritage, changed my life forever.
The outside world didn’t accept my kind, however, and soon I decided to join the military. I trained to become an Army Ranger.
Now, as an elite undead killing machine, I must make a choice. Allegiance to my kind or to the Federation. Choose wrong and I could die…for good.
Another installment in the Seven Stars Universe by Dayne Edmondson, this is a young adult space opera adventure novel set a few years before his space opera novel “Emergence” and featuring a major character from the third book, “Ruin.”
Buy now to jump into the adventure.
