Let this weekend be criminal...with Future Syndicate II for just $2.24.
Many would like to think that as our species evolves, crime will disappear, but most know this is not true. Crime has always been with us, and it always will. Future Syndicate II features stories told from the point of view of the criminals, sometimes bad people, sometimes people forced to make bad decisions, but always, in the eyes of society, criminals.

This weekend, let’s look at a possible future for the United States with The Divided States of America Volume 1…
No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of 13 nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one…sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others…sometimes too much order.

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.

This week we’re going with the longest collection of fiction we’ve ever published…Manic Musings of a Maniacal Mind by J Alan Erwine.
For more than two decades, editors have been publishing the works of J
Alan Erwine, exposing you, the reader, to the dark recesses of the
author’s mind. Now, all of those stories have been combined together
into one massive tome.
Get a glimpse into Erwine’s grim view of the future, and explore the universe from his slightly off-kilter point of view.
Visit
the planets, the stars, the scary places in the human mind, but make
sure you’re wearing a seatbelt, because you never know where Erwine
might take you next…
I've added even more titles to my Gumroad account. You can find it at https://app.gumroad.com/jalanerwine?sort=price_desc.
You can find all of my novels, all of my short story collections, and the two RPGs I've created, as well as some of the supplements for those.
I'm still debating as to whether or not I want to upload my individual short stories. It's a lot of work, and I'm not yet sure of the payoff...but my longer stuff is all available for you to start downloading and enjoying...
Many of my books are now available through Gumroad, and I will be adding more titles as time allows. Feel free to start downloading any of my books at https://jalanerwine.gumroad.com/

Disharmony of the Spheres is our book of the weekend for this weekend…
Mental illness is very common in our society, but it’s also very
misunderstood. Many view those with mental illnesses as being weak, but
there is a great deal of strength in those that must battle their own
minds on a regular basis.
Disharmony of the Spheres focuses on
characters with mental illnesses that are still able to be successful.
They may not completely overcome their illnesses, but they are able to
beat them back and succeed.
In this volume, you will find the fiction
of Ian Brazee Cannon, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, MH Bonham, David Lee
Summers, Nicole Givens Kurtz, Kate Runnels, Michael Morgan, L.J.
Bonham, Carol Hightshoe, Francis W. Alexander, and Terrie Leigh Relf.
This
book is dedicated to all of the science fiction fans and writers that
must battle their own personal demons every day, and half of all of the
profits from this book will go to The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention
Organization, a group that battles teen suicide.
