First Novel, Second Post

It's been over six months since I published Outsider, which is hard to believe! It was pretty exciting to see it show up on Amazon for the first time. This was followed by several firsts: my first sale, my first Kindle offering, my first book signing.

Book Signing at Hastings store in Pittsburg, KS - March 2013

This is my first novel in the Penumbra series; there should be about five novels in all. They follow the adventures of Captain Ben Lamont and his crew, who travel through a wormhole near Earth's atmosphere to patrol the colonies beyond, troubleshooting where needed ... and there's a lot of trouble and shooting involved!

The first novel features Sean Foster, a college student who's been sentenced to twenty years in a colonial prison far from Earth. If that's not bad enough, it turns out that his transport has been targeted for destruction by unknown attackers. It's up to the crew of Outsider to rescue Sean and discover why he received such a lengthy prison sentence, as well as why his ship was destroyed.

The sequel will pick up a few months after Outsider ended. In my next post, I'll update you on its progress. Stay tuned!

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my site! I'm new to blogging so please bear with me while I figure out what I'm doing. (I already managed to delete my first post, which tells me I have a long way to go.)

My name is Diane McCallum and my first novel, Outsider, was published this year. It's available on amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle formats (you can find a link to buy it to the right). This blog will try to keep you updated on the progress of the subsequent novels, all part of the Penumbra series, and give you some insights into a few of the characters.  I plan to update it once a week, usually on the weekend, so I hope you'll come back to see how things are going (especially to see if this first post survives this time).
