Happy Summer everyone!
I’m so glad we are past those cool spring days and now we are into the sun and the heat.
What are you reading this summer?
This summer has not been as much of a literary time as I would have hoped. I haven’t had as much time to read as I hoped I did but I have been reading some interesting client work which will become SOOP releases over the next several months.
I do want to remind everyone that our next anthology, Fantastic Worlds is coming out in the early fall and my next book, America’s Lost Generation is also coming around the same time.
Fantastic Worlds brings together the worlds of fantasy and science fiction into one fascinating collection that even includes a novel excerpt! Both I and the curator are excited about the project.
My next book, America’s Lost Generation is about Millennials and the story of how the largest and most educated generation in history never quite found its stride and why it really sucks to be under 45 these days.
Written through the pandemic and the years afterwards, I have watched some of the things I read and wrote about come to life. I even had to do some edits to include how things are affecting Gen Z! From housing and dating to NEETs and more, my book explores why young people are struggling with real numbers and real life interviews. Look out for that soon!
If you have not checked out our latest release, About Not Losing, I encourage you to do so! It is a wonderful legal thriller and perfect for summer reading or into the fall.
Medicine and law face off in a contentious malpractice case and we get to explore the lives of the people involved on the ground in Denver in the early 1990s. You can pick it up today in the SOOP Bookstore.
I also want to let you know about my new buddy podcast that I’ve launched with a couple friends of mine. The Living Joke brings three guys together to talk about trending topics, gaming, movies, TV and more. Come hang out with Connor, Will and myself as we talk about the stuff we are into. If you enjoy watching streaming gaming content, Connor and Will are streaming regularly and you might find me streaming some games too. Please do follow us right here on Substack (thelivingjoke.substack.com) and follow our journey! We have three episodes out right now and the guys just did a ranking of Gen one Pokemon that is tons of fun!
Alright, that’s all from me this month. See you in August!
