It’s been more than a little while since I last did an update on the Tomorrow’s Edge series, and it feels great to get to take a beat to share some things with you. I’ve been in an extra intense writing mode pretty much since the start of the year and by the Lord’s grace and help got both of the novels due out this year to the publisher. So, things are still on track for the next and final entry in the Tomorrow’s Edge Trilogy, Silent Stars, to release September 26th of this year!
It’s been such a long road getting here and some of you have been with me from the very start six years ago when Day Moon first released. You’ve been super patient with me over those years, and I hope you find Silent Stars worth the wait.
THE COVER
But that’s all things I’ve said before, so onto what’s new. So, here is the cover and a quick intro the story of Silent Stars, plus an invitation to do something I’ve not done with a book before: I’m going to provide a sign up for anyone who is interested in being on the book’s launch team. Some of you may be wondering what is a launch team? More on that in a bit.
THE STORY
AD 2040: Barely eighteen, things have become much harder for Elliott. Reeling from the losses during the confrontation that brought Project Alexandria to a halt, Elliott feverishly hunts for the original files needed to finish it off. Finding only dead ends, he instead stumbles upon something dire: messages about the Babel Initiative. Conceived as a successor that would make Project Alexandria’s manipulations seem tame, this new threat once again forces Elliott into alliances with morally grey programmers known as Siegers. Beset by continual setbacks and defeats, many Siegers abandon the cause and go underground to survive the dangers ahead. The bleak reality that Elliott and those closest to him are almost certain to die in the fight against Dr. Almundson begins to set in. But Elliott isn’t ready to give up. He knows the cost of such a silent surrender will be humanity itself.
LAUNCH TEAM
Since you’re still reading, I hope that means you’re both curious and excited to find out more about the launch team for Silent Stars. Some people call them street teams, but you don’t actually have to get out on the pavement to be a part of this, so I’m going with launch team. There are a few things a launch team member needs to do:
1. Read Silent Stars
2. Leave an honest review (anywhere is appreciated though Amazon and GoodReads are of course the major ones)
3. Share about the book’s release on release day
4. Have some fun 🙂
Understandably, you might wonder what you get in return. Here are some of the benefits of joining the team:
1. A free copy of Silent Stars in advance or release day.
2. Entry to win a$25 Amazon gift card.
3. An invite to a Zoom “Ask the Author” call where you can ask any questions you have about the series, the characters, the settings, and the tech of the books and share anything you wanted to see in the series and anything you wish you hadn’t.
4. A special digital poster commemorating Silent Stars that won’t be sent to anyone else.
You’ll also receive an invite and guaranteed slot on future book’s launch teams (including Quest of Fire‘s next book releasing in December). If you’re still reading and still interested, here’s the link for the sign up:

This is a huge milestone for me as a writer and for the series, so I really want to make it special. I’m looking forward to sharing more about Silent Stars as we close in on release day!
