Strange Medicine marks the completion of my urban fantasy/post-apocalyptic/dystopian/fantasy series. Finishing the series with two self-published books was an adventure. Thankfully I had access to awesome cover design by Kris Norris, good Beta readers, and editing by Caroline Miller. These factors helped ensure my final products were professional and up to industry standards. I even managed to publish the eBook and print version of book 2 (Strange Omens) from the road while visiting our son in Austin. WiFi in the motorcoach proved sufficient for research and publishing. Even getting print proofs delivered worked out okay.
I hope you'll give the series a try and let your friends know. Watch for all 3 books on Amazon at my author page. The "look inside" feature lets you get a sample of each.To celebrate completion, each ebook will go through limited time special pricing of 99¢ during June. The perfect storm will be 4-8 June when book discounts will overlap and the entire series can be bought for just $3 ! Books 2 & 3 are also available for free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers.If you take a chance on reading my work, I could really use a short honest review on Amazon. Good or bad, these are critical to gain social proof and help inform readers so they know if the story may interest them (or not). Thanks in advance and happy reading.

P.S: For a change of pace, I'm finishing up a light SciFi novel with target publication this fall before getting back to fantasy novels.
Jim Stein couldn’t get enough SciFi and Fantasy growing up. Libraries, drugstores, and the bookstore at the mall were favorite haunts to hunt for exciting covers and fantastic stories. He rarely found himself “between books,” and still loves to let his imagination soar with a good read.
Tangled type bars and stubborn ribbon on his dad’s Royal typewriter gave rise to Jim’s first ill-conceived attempts at high fantasy.
After two degrees in computer science and three decades as a naval officer, Jim is back at it—albeit this time on a laptop with wireless keyboard and a 39-inch monitor.
