Author Event in St. Louis

To my friends and contacts in the St. Louis area and nearby regions:

I will be at a homeschool expo in St. Louis April 11 through 13. I know this is short notice, but I hope some of you might be able to come anyway.

The event is free Thursday evening, and I will be at an exhibitor’s booth selling and signing booths. If you want to come, I would love to see you, and I will be glad to sign books you already own.

I will speak Friday on the topic of fantasy and its effects on readers, and I will speak Saturday on my journey to publication. I will also be at the booth during both of those days. The expo charges admission for Friday and Saturday.

For more information, here is a link for the expo: http://www.service-life.com/mo/stlhomeschoolexpo/

If you have any questions, please let me know. If you know anyone in the area who might be interested in coming, please pass along the information.

I hope to see you there!

A New Stargate Game

You might be wondering why I am providing news about a game related to a television show. First, I contributed to the game's storyline. Since the game's producer is my friend, he invited me to inject a few ideas. Second, the game's producer is also the producer for a potential Raising Dragons movie. If this game launch is successful, he will be in a much better position to secure funding for the movie.

The game launches on March 14 for Apple iOS systems (iPhone and iPad), and the company will add Android systems next week. The game will expand to other platforms during the next couple of months.

Here is a link to the company's website - http://www.arkalisinteractive.com/

The game app costs only $4.99. I hope you will do what you can to support the effort and share the news with your friends.

Prepare for Exodus Rising

Many readers of my books have yet to try my Tales of Starlight series. I think they're missing out on some of my best stories, especially if they like a bit of wholesome romance mixed in with the daring adventures.

In order to make ready for the release of book #3 in the series, Exodus Rising, I am offering the first two books for only $18 for the combo. That's five dollars off retail for each book.

Buy them now, and you'll have time to read them in time for the release of Exodus Rising. Here is the purchase link - http://www.daviscrossing.com/TalesComboTwo.html

You can also pre-order Exodus Rising from me here - http://www.daviscrossing.com/ExodusRising.htm

 Even those who have read the Dragons of Starlight books, including Liberator, do not yet know the rest of the story. Exodus Rising reveals several mysteries that the Dragons of Starlight series never explained. Where will the dragons get pheterone after the final battle? What happened to the disembodied spirits in Alaph's castle? What horrific danger did Jason and Elyssa meet when they returned to their home world? And much more.

If you want to enjoy both series, here is my recommended reading order:

1. Starlighter (Dragons of Starlight book #1)
2. Masters & Slayers (Tales of Starlight book #1)
3. Warrior (Dragons of Starlight book #2)
4. Third Starlighter (Tales of Starlight book #2)
5. Diviner (Dragons of Starlight book #3)
6. Liberator (Dragons of Starlight book #4)
7. Exodus Rising (Tales of Starlight book #3)

You may switch the reading order for entries 1 and 2 without any problem, and you may also switch the order for entries 4 and 5.

This is the final book in this story world, so don't miss out on how the entire adventure comes to a close.
