Dear FRIAM friends, colleagues, and acquaintances (you all can envision the Venn diagram that places you in your particular state-space):
Please join me in celebrating the fact that today I published my first book.
Second Cousins is a science fiction novel, set in the current day. From the "Dust Jacket":
Preface
24,000 years ago during the last ice age, what is now White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico was then a 1,600 square mile lake which geologists have named Lake Otero. Gradually the weather became drier and warmer as the ice age retreated, and the gypsum that had been dissolved in the lake deposited out as the lake dried up, leaving the modern-day pure white dunes of gypsum sand.
At the southern end of this range of dunes on what is now part of the White Sands Missile Range, the sands have drifted, exposing something that should not have been there.

Second Cousins is available as a Kindel e-book for the ridiculously affordable price of $0.99. Here's the link to it:
Don't have a Kindle? No problem. If you really want to splurge the 99 cents, Amazon has free Kindle apps for practically any device. Check it out:
The first 100 people who request one will also receive a free signed copy of the book cover. The cover art was done by the marvelous Jenica Cruz, graphic artist extrordinaire!
Cheers!
