November 2021

Coming Up Next:

John Lars Shoberg's next title, And the Meek Shall Inherit..., is now open for pre-order at $12.00 for the paperback version. We are shooting for a publication date of November 30, but the cover is not quite ready, it's still getting a few tweaks. As soon as that is done, the cover will appear on our website, on Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads. Not to mention Smashwords and Amazon. You won't be able to pre-order the e-book version until we get that cover uploaded, but you can pre-order the paperback from MoonPhaze.com now, sight unseen, as it were. If you want to pre-order the e-book, start looking at your favorite book store around Nov 15th. If they have the cover, you can pre-order for $3.99. Once it is published, the price will go to $4.99. So make a note to order it early!

The Earth's military has sent a warship to the planet Lankmere to study how the inhabitants manage to not have wars, or even an army. Shortly after the humans arrive, another set of humanoids suddenly appear from nowhere, wearing red environmental suits with clear helmets and bearing laser rifles. They attack without warning, killing all the intelligent species on the planet. The humans waste no time in shooting back and making plans for protecting the Lankmerans. But where did these humanoids come from, and what do they want? It's hard to fight a war when you have no intelligence about the other side. But if the humans don't figure things out, the entire populace will be eradicated.

Linda NMI Joy's novelette, The Secret in Morris Valley, is also being tweaked, getting ready for its 2nd release. We expect it to go on pre-order around November 15, and to be released about December 15.

Ondrea has been sent by her college professor to Morris Valley to study the local wolves, who are reported to be 'unusual'. But Barry Morris won't allow her out of the house without a heavily armed escort. Having met her, Barry has plans for Ondrea.

So do the wolves.

We thank you for your continued support of our efforts, and apologize for our plans being rather nebulous at this point. We don't think it should take 2 or 3 years to get a book published, so we try to get it done in 6 months. Or less. Sometimes, that leaves us scrambling a little to get everything done.

Because we are 'racing against the clock' on these last 2 projects of the year, we will probably issue a 2nd newsletter in the middle of the month to let you know how we are doing.

It's November already! Where does the time go? Did you finish reading your free book, The Stone Ship , by John Lars Shoberg? Don't forget, you can get a free copy of the series starter, The Stone Builders by going to www.smashwords.com. Search either for the title or the author's name, and it should come up. If you like John Lars Shoberg's work, you could try another of his titles, De-Evolution . It looked like the perfect planet to colonize, so the generational ship landed. A year later, 2 children go missing, and are apparently being lead away by a Jabberwocky, a local animal the colonists don't know much about. When the search team finally tracks them down, they find the jabberwockies are the equivalent of late stone age humans, but they once had a thriving civilization. Something is messing with evolution on this planet, and the humans must find what it is and how to deal with it before they also regress to cavemen. You can find De-Evolution at https://M...

MoonPhrazes - July 23, 2022

  At Long Last...   My 15-year-old CPU (computer) went on the fritz last weekend and spent the week in the shop. So even though the new MoonPhaze website went live on Monday or Tuesday, I could not make an announcement. That's one draw-back of having your computer remember all your passwords for you. I am announcing now that the new website is live. You can look it over at MoonPhazeBooks.com . You should be able to buy and download any of the 4 sf novels by John Lars Shoberg that I've got listed. This site sells only ebooks. Also, I have just re-published these same 4 books on Smashwords.com. On Smashwords, John's first book, The Stone Builders , can be downloaded for free. Yes, FREE ! That price may take as long as a week to work its way to your local bookstore, but it will get there. If you enjoy The Stone Builders, you will find it possible to download the sequel, The Stone Ship , for free by following the instructions in The Stone Builders. This is our way o...
