TWO pieces of news for you today, folks.

First, Blue Ink reviews- that great big professional review service- just posted a review of “Maldene II: Mysteries Of Olde”. to pull a line from it, “Tierno’s investment in his world can be infectious.” If you want to read the rest then just go to https://www.blueinkreview.com/book-reviews/maldene-ii-mysteries-of-olde/

Then we have the next piece of news. Not just another book, but another series. A little something that I’ve been sitting on for quite some time and finally decided to go about releasing it. A mix of cyberpunk, magical fantasy, and biblical-level conspiracies, I bring you CYBERDAWN! The page is up right now at http://www.maldene.com/cyberdawn with a Facebook page soon to come. You’ll find a little bit of info as well as a teaser to read. Just enough to keep you drooling until the book comes out. No release dates or purchase links yet so you’lll just have to stay tuned.

To take from the back of the book…

“Earth is entering a new age of peace. No weapons, countries ready to put down their armies, every home benefiting from megacorp generosity, but if you’re Black Jack Hannigan this sounds a bit like fattening up the calf before the slaughter.

He’s seen them, creatures straight out of mythology. Winged tigers, ghouls, werewolves, they all exist; all part of the same millennia-old conspiracy. The “People” are manipulating our society, readying us for sacrifice to their Masters unless Black Jack and his friends can bring their schemes to light.

It will take a new generation of weapons being developed by the icy Dr. Rebecca Winter to protect a defenseless world against these creatures, and even then it’s a race. For once the People have opened the Eye of the Apocalypse it’s all over. The Masters will consume our world, just as they have countless others before us.”
