Actionopolis is Back!

[singlepic id=186 w=320 h=240 float=right]This has been ramping up all summer, but the announcement officially came down today: Actionopolis is back!

Actionopolis is the book like featuring high-octane, high-adventure prose fiction by a myriad of talented writers from comics, film, video games and the like. The company initially published seven well-received books, including my Heir to Fire: Gila Flats novel, which was illustrated by Mike Dubisch.

Now they’re back with a new wave of 16 new books for the Amazon Kindle platform. The new books include my long-awaited Legend of Tigerfist: Enter the Tiger as well as the sequel Heir to Fire: Zephyr Mesa.

You might be saying, “b-bu-but I love Actionopolis books, but I don’t have an Amazon Kindle reader.”

Well, did you know that Kindle books can now be read on your Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Blackberry or Android device as well as the Kindle reader? Just download the right app for your device!

Broken Frontier (and other sites) has the complete scoop.

‘Serenity’ star recommends ‘Heir to Fire’

I found out last week that ‘Serenity’/'Firefly’ star Nathan Fillion has kinda sorta recommended my book ‘Heir to Fire’ as a good chapter book for reluctant readers.

Here’s the scoop: Fillion and his friend, novelist P.J. Haarsma have a non-profit concern going called Kids Need to Read (KNTR) which is committed to donating books to libraries with the goal of engaging kids.

Heir to Fire

The organization has placed ‘Heir to Fire’ and the other six Actionopolis books on their official list of worthy books for 2008.

That’s not all. KNTR is setting up shop at the Phoenix Cactus Comicon this weekend.

They’ll have a discussion panel on Saturday, January 26 at 12:00 PM with PJ Haarsma and their website states: “members of our audience who ask us a question will receive a free book (while quantities last).

Listed among the free books is ‘Heir to Fire’ along with the other six Actionopolis titles, as well as many other fine books.
