FitzDuncan's Navy release, new look to website, and first look at the cover of "Rawlins' Redemption"

 

Just a reminder, FitzDuncan's Navy, the eighth book in the series, publishes on April 1. The FitzDuncan series was recently named a Finalist in the Chanticleer International Book Awards.

I recently had my website redesigned to give it a bit more sizzle. Feel free to check it out: johnjspearmanauthor,com.

Last but not least, here is a look at the first draft of the cover of the new series I am creating that will be published by Aethon Books. I am excited to see this book launch!

Latest Awards, FitzDuncan's Navy available for pre-order

 

I am very excited to share that TWO of my book series were selected as Finalists in the Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBA). The FitzDuncan series of novels was selected as a Finalist in CIBA's Ozma category, covering Fantasy Fiction. The Jonah Halberd series was selected in the Cygnus category, covering Science Fiction.
What does this mean? In order to reach this stage, the books in the series survived four rounds of judging. Both are eligible to be named as the First Place Winner in each category, and as the overall CIBA Grand Prize Winner. Regardless of what happens next, it is gratifying to see that independent, objective judges enjoy my work. 

Speaking of the FitzDuncan series, the eighth book, FitzDuncan's Navy, is scheduled to release on April 1. You can pre-order it now on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVN9K1KY)

The Halberd series is also available on amazon, beginning with the first book, Gallantry in Action (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0743MGN5R). I invite you to check these books out.
