Happy Book Birthday to Michael Underwood!

Please help us congratulate Michael Underwood on today’s release of THE ABSCONDED AMBASSADOR!

Michael’s website describes GENRENAUTS as, “…a science fiction series in novellas…Imagined as a TV series in prose form, Genrenauts will have six episodes per season, all building toward a larger plot.”

THE ABSCONDED AMBASSADOR is Book #2 in the GENRENAUTS series and has been called by New York Journal of Books, “a heck of a lot of fun the way Galaxy Quest is: a little goofy, a little serious but not taking itself too seriously, and filled with a fondness for the source material that gives it weight without weighing down the story.”

THE ABSCONDED AMBASSADOR Fiction is more important than you think. When stories go wrong, the Genrenauts step in to prevent the consequences from rippling into our so-called real world.

When a breach is discovered in Science Fiction World, rookie genrenaut Leah Tang gets her first taste of space flight.

A peace treaty is about to be signed on space station Ahura-3, guaranteeing the end of hostilities between some of the galaxy’s most ferocious races, but when the head architect of the treaty is unexpectedly kidnapped, it’s up to Leah and her new colleagues to save the day.

At any cost.

Book #1 was THE SHOOTOUT SOLUTION (November 2015) Book #3 will be THE CUPID RECONCILIATION (May 2016) Journey on!

Happy Book Birthday to THE SHOOTOUT SOLUTION!

Please help us celebrate with Michael R. Underwood on today’s release of THE SHOOTOUT SOLUTION: episode one of GENRENAUTS, a brilliant science fiction serial packed with humor and fun! Episode two, THE ABSCONDED AMBASSADOR, is set to release on February 23, 2016.

From Fang-tastic Fiction, “I enjoyed this book tremendously. Leah is a smart, savvy, snarky young woman whose character nicely balances the calm goodheartedness of Shirin, the experienced competency of King, and the attractive cockiness of Roman. They make a great team.”

From Exploding Spaceship Reviews, “We like nerdy Leah and were able to immediately identify with her. She should return for many more episodes!”

THE SHOOTOUT SOLUTION Leah Tang just died on stage. Well, not literally. Not yet.

Leah’s stand-up career isn’t going well. But she understands the power of fiction, and when she’s offered employment with the mysterious Genrenauts Foundation, she soon discovers that literally dying on stage is a hazard of the job!

Her first assignment takes her to a Western world. When a cowboy tale slips off its rails, and the outlaws start to win, it’s up to Leah – and the Genrenauts team – to nudge the story back on track and prevent a catastrophe on Earth.

Happy Book Birthday to HEXOMANCY!

Please help us celebrate with Michael R. Underwood whose urban fantasy phenomenon continues with today’s release of HEXOMANCY – the fourth adventure in his series about heroine Ree Reyes and her ability to use pop cultural icons to battle evil.

And, FTW…there’s a 20-sided die on the cover! ’nuff said

Joe’s Geek Fest gave HEXOMANCY this glowing review, “While the series started out as a fun, light, albeit cool, geeked-out, pop-culture fueled adventure novel, it continued to grow to a full-fledged adventure series driven as much by the characters who people the stories as the geek references. So while the impetus of the series was superpowers based on geekiness (and what geek doesn’t dream of that world), it grew into a series where world-building became more of the stage on which the characters act and their relationships wax and wane…Come for the geeky world and fun storyline, stay for the fabulous characters, relationships, and action. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series; I simply loved Hexomancy. I commend it for your reading pleasure.”

HEXOMANCY Fan-favorite urban fantasista Ree Reyes and her crew of Geekomancers—humans that derive supernatural powers from pop culture—take on their biggest foes yet in this fourth book of the Geekomancy series.

When Ree’s long time nemesis Lucretia is finally brought to trial and found guilty for the deadly attack on Grognard’s, the Geekomancer community breathes a collective sigh of relief. But Ree and her crew soon discover that Lucretia has three very angry, very dangerous sisters who won’t rest until Eastwood—a fellow Geekomancer—is killed.

What follows is an adventure packed with epic battles, a bit of romance, and enough geeky W00t moments to fill your monthly quota of adventure and fun.

Stop by Michael’s website to learn more about this amazing series: www.michaelrunderwood.com

And say hi and congrats on twitter @MikeRUnderwood

Cheers!
