Busy week here in the empire of Serving Worlds! I’ve been planning my IndieGoGo campaign to crowdfund ENEMY LINES in print & ebook for a while now. It launched this past week. I’m off to a good start, but I need your help! Please check out the campaign & contribute.
One of my plans to generate buzz for the campaign? A free kindle ebook. I waited the campaign on this, & I’m glad I did. Harlan’s Wake Hit #50 on the SF Best Sellers ‘Free 100′! That felt good…but I guarantee it won’t by my last time on the list! Happy Holidays, all!

Twenty years after the American civil war, former slave Marcus Riggs fights for his life in a British harbor, in a world where Invaders came to enslave all of humanity.
The first volume in the War Between Worlds series, ASUNDER is now available for $1.99 on Kindle.
Marcus watched, skin crawling as the ship drew near. He remembered a sky clogged with dark shapes, as the alien sky-ship approached with a building whine. It closed again on the harbor, and lightning crackled from barrels beneath the wings. There was a flash and a roar, and balls of white crackling energy hammered the wood and iron-clad ships in the harbor.
He saw Burns stand, steady as a rock, and fire his single shot rifle into the sky.
His aim was true, flaring through the force wall defending the alien craft… Marcus was impressed to see a spark on the nose of the ship. Alas, to little effect, save for scratching the black paint covering the nose with a crude skull and crossbones.
Explore a different past, when Queen Victoria’s England stood against an onslaught of Invaders… and a war between worlds. ASUNDER. Available now for $2.99 on Kindle!

On a mountaintop, by the light of the full moon, the challenge between wolf… and Dragon… will be decided.
A short story first released in the Serving Worlds, podcast audio anthology, Mountain Challenge is now available for .99c on Kindle.
Fire.
Preserving Instinct backed Aleyku up against a jutting rock when the horrible scent filled his nostrils. When he met the rock he stopped, and thought of following the elk back down the trail.
No.
He waited, ears twitching in vain for sound, but refused to slink back off the mountain. All that matters is reaching the top. When he was satisfied that nothing moved around him save swaying branches, he continued on. In part he was frightened how easy it had become to override life-preserving reflexes, but another part was eager to face whatever came. Stupid, looking for challenge like this.
Both relief and sadness tugged at him as he completely abandoned the cry of his Instincts for the first time in his life. Aleyku was saddened by the thought he might be running his last race, but also eager to see what lay at the end. He stooped to chew long, cool grass to settle his nervous stomache and stoke his courage.
He caught it again, the strange firescent. Sure enough it was close now, wafting down the only pass leading upwards. Baring his teeth, Aleyku cantered ahead.
Stupid, but exciting!
A stowaway on a train, running from something horrible, falls into the hands of evil men. Soon, innocent lives will be lost as human monsters will face something ancient, powerful… and hungry.
A short story first released in the Serving Worlds podcast audio anthology, Marked Men is now available for .99c on Kindle.
Rough hands yanked Daniel from his hiding place behind a crate of buffalo pelts bound for the east. Half asleep, he was thrown from the train car into prairie and scrub brush.
He tried to break his fall, and his hands were slashed on the rock bed of the tracks. He screamed and came all the way awake. He wanted to run but could only cradle his hands to his chest, gasping at the pain. A tall man jumped down after him, kicking him in the ribs before tying his wrists together. “Y’all picked the wrong train,” the man drawled.
Now FREE from iBooks & Smashwords and Kindle.
A novelette set in the backwoods home of an AWOL soldier, in a near-future where alien intelligences steer the bodies of the deceased.
Tyler’s life is dedicated to the Silvers, but when word arrives that his alien-hating father is dying he races home to make peace. Will he make it? Family and duty collide in HARLAN’S WAKE.

Here’s a sneak peek of my upcoming dip into eBooks. I designed the cover myself, completely on iPhone and iPad using Photogene, Juxtaposer and FotoBrush Pro.
‘Last Man Home’ is a novella that appeared on the ‘Serving Worlds’ podcast last year. My next podcast is a more traditional SF, so I thought I’d launch my first ebook with something in the same vein.
More to come soon!
Serving Worlds is JOHN MIERAU, science fiction & fantasy author, storyteller.
