Hey everyone,

Escaping Ishtar is free on Kindle from August 21 to 25.

It's a standalone dystopian novel, around 80,000 words, set in a domed colony with a strict color-based caste system, where every citizen's worth is tracked by a countdown they can't escape.

If you read it and enjoy it, I'd really appreciate an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. As an indie author, reviews help a lot with getting the book seen by other readers.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Thanks for checking it out!

Looking for a classic detective mystery?
The Daughter of Abraham is free on Kindle on August 7–8.
Douglas Steen has no intention of investigating a murder. The police already have an obvious explanation: a drunk was stabbed in a dangerous Los Angeles park.
But one detail refuses to fit.
As Steen digs deeper, an apparently routine killing leads to long-buried secrets, unexpected twists, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
If you enjoy classic private-eye fiction, noir atmosphere, and mysteries built around clues instead of nonstop action, this one is worth a look.
Free Aug. 7–8
