It is my tremendous honor to bring you the conclusion to the Aurora Rising trilogy: TRANSCENDENCE.

• Transcendence is available for purchase in ebook and paperback on Amazon.com. Outside the U.S.? This link will take you to the book on your Amazon International site.
• As the paperback is added to more sites, links will be posted here. If you're on Goodreads, the Transcendence page is here.
• Don't have a Kindle? Kindle apps for your tablet or phone (iOS, Android, Windows Phone), PC, Mac and the cloud can be downloaded here: Kindle Apps. If you read ebooks on something other than a Kindle or Kindle app, please send me an email.
• I am thrilled beyond measure for everyone to finally be able to read Transcendence, and I truly hope you enjoy it. Of course if you do, don't be shy about it! Reviews are the greatest gift you can give, but tweets, posts on Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest, your own blogs, and forums are also most welcome.

I'm running a giveaway contest over on Goodreads between now and release day. Head here (or follow the link in the widget below) to enter to win 1 of 5 paperback copies of Transcendence. Winners will be announced March 23rd.

• Fun blog post today: Behind the Scenes with Transcendence. Getting a little deja vu? Behind the Scenes with Vertigo was just a few short months ago. Learn how many heads are lost in Transcendence (not merely deaths, but actual lost heads), who makes the best open-field tackle and more!
• Awesome blogger and sci-fi/fantasy author Raven Oak is hosting me on her blog for two straight Fridays. Check out my guest post from last week, Flashback Friday: Foundation, in which I confess to being a nerd as a child (shocking news, I realize) and dare to disagree with ones of the greatest science fiction writers ever, Isaac Asimov. (It was done from a place of love and admiration). Then check back tomorrow for my Flashforward Friday post.
• It was my tremendous honor to be included in another list of noted science fiction authors (who happen to be women), this one by online entertainment magazine itcher: Top Female Science Fiction Authors: From Space Opera to Cyberpunk. To be listed alongside some of my biggest heroes and inspirations (C.J. Cherryh, Lois McMaster Bujold, Ursula K. Le Guin, Catherine Asaro and more)...it's beyond words, even for a writer.

MARCH 23, 2015. It's a date - a date with Transcendence, that is. Now, a few eagle-eyed readers have noticed that March 23 happens to be the one-year anniversary of Starshine's publication. Isn't that a fine coincidence?

• In preparation for the upcoming release, the website has received a bit of an overhaul. Navigation has moved to the left and been vastly simplified - no more submenus! Each book has its own page, where you will find everything for that title - links to retailers for all formats, the blurb, reviews, links to quotes and excerpts, and share buttons. Transcendence's page is live, too.
  • Oh, and the site's red now :).
• Restless, the short story included in the Stars & Empire 2 collection is now available as a stand-alone ebook for $0.99. If you haven't read it yet, it's a great peek at Alex and Caleb 8 years before their lives were upended in Starshine. If you read it in S&E2 and enjoyed it, don't be afraid to drop a sentence or two review on its new independent Amazon page - I won't mind.
