Read a sample of Echoes from the Deep

Do you have a few minutes? How about taking that time to read a sample of my latest novel, Echoes from the Deep. Go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0CSQHQQH5&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_DF5WNGMGT9YSMNABEVXH&tag=jerwine20-20 and take a look today.

The first human and dolphin colony team has arrived on Epsilon Eridani 2, a planet that was once inhabited by a highly advanced species that has gone extinct.
On this exciting new world, the humans have brought all of their typical problems with them, while the dolphins adjust quite easily to their new home.
All of this changes when bizarre events begin to happen to the colonists. Is the stress of a new colony causing unknown neuroses and psychoses to suddenly surface? Is there something in the atmosphere that the colonists didn’t know about? Or is there something else behind the bizarre occurrences?

Goatherds & Gods will soon be unleashed upon the world

I've started the final revisions of Goatherds & Gods. This is a novel that was originally written by James Baker, the founder of ProMart Publishing, and my very first editor. When he passed away, I got the rights to all of his works, and this is one book that I've never re-released. I've always loved the story that this novel tells, but I never thought the writing was quite where it needed to be.

Over the years, I've toyed with the idea of rewriting the book and working out some of the problems, and I've finally done it. I have one more revision to go, and then I hope that this will be a book with not only a great story, but with great execution as well.

Look for Goatherds & Gods by James B. Baker and J Alan Erwine later this year from Nomadic Delirium Press.

The screenplay is the Deal of the Day

My new science fiction screenplay based on my novel A Problem in Translation is currently the Deal of the Day at DriveThruFiction. You can download it for just $2.00 by going to https://www.drivethrufiction.com/product/477635/

Originally available as a novel, now you can read A Problem in Translation in the format that many have said it should have been written in...a screenplay.
Humanity's first contact with an alien species, the Lemec, is complicated by the fact that the aliens don't use an entirely verbal language...not only that, but the other aliens in their "domain" seem to worship the Lemec as some type of gods, and as they seem to anticipate every move that Captain Shiro Takahashi and his crew make, humanity begins to think that maybe the other aliens know something that they don't.
