Boom!

Finally! Two years in the making, Ocean is here. The sequel to Atmoshphere picks up 10 years after the events of the first book, with a second mission arriving on Chara IV, an imaginary planet circling a very real Class G star (I researched).

Funny side story: I originally cast these two books and the upcoming third as The Chara Series. Yesterday, I went on Amazon and found that some guy wrote a fantasy novel in 2016 and subtitled it "Book 1 of the Chara Series." This didn't show up when I published Atmosphere two years ago, so I have been using the title all this time. He still hasn't published a second book. I assume his series name comes from a character in his book, rather than hours of research to find a plausible location for the setting of a science fiction novel. It's annoying. Still, he had the name first, so I have changed mine to The Chara IV Series. It doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as well, but the last thing I want is someone else's book showing up in a search for mine.

That's why I chose such unique names for the three volumes in my series: Atmosphere, Ocean, and Moon. How may books could there be with those titles?

Search for any of them on Amazon: over 60,000 results.

I really am proud of this book. Both of them, actually, although I think the second is better. How could I not have learned and improved by writing the first. The third, which will probably take another two years, will hopefully be even better still. Here is a peek at its cover.



If you read Atmosphere, thank you! If you reviewed it, thank you even more! If you haven't yet, I have reduced the price in all formats on the release of Ocean (to drive sales of the second volume, of course.)

EDIT: I just changed it back to The Chara Series, since The Chara IV series matched up with a bunch of Japanese Manga.
