Last week we held a drawing for several copies of Walking On The Sea of Clouds<\/em> — we organized a fun little “Facebook Live” event where three friends drew names out of an actual hat — and I announced the winners in my newsletter.* The prize packages will be on their way very soon, and here’s a look at everything in the Grand Prize:<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

If you didn’t win, you can of course pick up the novel on Amazon as an e-book<\/a> or as a trade paperback<\/a>. In addition to Amazon, it’s also available on the Barnes & Noble website<\/a>, on Kobo<\/a>, on Smashwords<\/a>, and a few other places as well.<\/p>\n

You may prefer to support your local bookseller, and you can certainly get them to order a copy for you. Fair warning, though, whether ordering online or at a bookstore: the paperback is a bit pricey — turns out it’s a pretty thick book!<\/p>\n

If you like realistic science fiction, Walking On The Sea of Clouds<\/em> might fit the bill for you — but don’t just take my word for it! Among other testimonials I’ve posted now and then, these get the point across quite succinctly:<\/p>\n

Everything about Walking on the Sea of Clouds feels amazingly authentic.
\n— Edmund R. Schubert<\/p>\n

This is meat and potatoes for the hard science fiction fan.
\n— Martin L. Shoemaker<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope you’ll give it a try, and that something in it resonates with you! Let me know what you think — and if you like it, tell your friends!<\/p>\n

\n*I try to share different things in my newsletter than I do here on the blog or over social media, so if you’re not already getting it, I’d be pleased if you would sign up on my mailing list<\/a>. At the very least, I think you’ll find it to be more personal, and more conversational, than the blog. Plus, you get a free nonfiction e-book for signing up!<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>by <\/span>\"feather\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
