"His knees gave out and he slid from the saddle of his clydesdale. Lay there on the wet ground, the enormity of the coming moments sweeping through his body like fever. 
Cuddy looked down at him. 
For a man who’s not a soft touch or an idiot, Cuddy said, you sure seem to have a mess of feelings going on. You need a sip of sheep’s milk, settle your hysteria?"

The third Project Tempest book, 1862, is alive and kicking and available now. In this tale we go back to 19th century frontier New Zealand, whee a troubled stranger has been sent to investigate a mysterious shipwreck. There's a love story waiting for him, but also more than a touch of H.P. Lovecraft...

You can get your copy of 1862 at all digital stores now, including:
Amazon (kindle)
Google Play
Smashwords (epub)
Project Tempest website

Thanks so much to every one of you who' s been a part of shaping this thing with me so far. The books are selling, the community's growing, and I'm getting clearer on what Project Tempest is all about (in a nutshell, people trying to connect with each other in a world going mad). I've especially enjoyed getting into some really fun email threads: it's always a blast to connect with people from so many different backgrounds, and please do feel free to drop me a line on hello@manonfire.org.

Cheers
