SALE: Save 20% in the IJM Fan Shop for Valentines Day!

by Leave a Comment

Nothing says “I love you” to that special someone like an official ballcap for a fictional baseball team from a city of interstellar mercenaries in the 23rd century.

On the other hand, maybe you just wanna stick it to that obnoxious Rays fan in your life with a shirt that says, “Congrats! Your team bolted town and won eight World Series titles playing in a real stadium!”

Either way, get 20% off all items in the IJM Fan Shop TODAY ONLY by using the coupon code LOVE19 at checkout.

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all… and GO GENERALS!!!

Introducing Jax Generals Fan Gear!

by Leave a Comment

One of the fun things about writing “Free Bird Rising” was getting to show readers what the city of Jacksonville, Florida looks like 200 years in the future. Naturally for me, sports were a huge part of that, so much so that I gave Jax its own Major League Baseball franchise.

Enter the 8-time World Series Champion Jacksonville Generals (formerly the Tampa Bay Rays). Better yet, we’ve got our own fan gear — WITH FREE SHIPPING!!!

Today through Saturday (Feb. 2), visit the new IJM Fan Shop and click “shop now.” From there, add the items you want to your cart then use the coupon code SHIP4U19 at checkout to take advantage of this special offer.

Among the items you’ll have to choose from:

  • Jax Generals hats (including the “Gold J logo” navy blue cap worn by Taylor Van Zant in the book)
  • Men’s and Women’s t-shirts (classic, jersey style, ringer, tank, and baseball)
  • Hoodies
  • Coffee Mugs, Sports Bottles, and Drinkware
  • Duffel and tote bags

Happy shopping, gang … and GO GENERALS!!!

FREE NEW RELEASE: “Nightfall,” the short story prequel to “Colonies Lost”

by Leave a Comment

Happy Hump Day, gang!

By now, y’all know that my new book, Colonies Lost, is on the way June 12. You also know that the story focuses on a present-day US Marshal who delves into the mystery surrounding the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. What you won’t see in that story, however, are the actual events at Roanoke in 1587.

Well, ordinary readers of Colonies Lost won’t get those events. You, on the other hand, can if you sign up for my newsletter to receive the new short story, Nightfall!

Better yet, it’s FREE!

But wait! There’s more! (I so just wrote that while speaking aloud in my cheesy announcer voice)

By signing up for the email list, you’ll also get Mako: Genesis, the official prequel to my space opera trilogy, The Mako Saga. It’s all just my way of saying thanks to those who support my work.

Take care, y’all, and hope you enjoy the new short story!

Cheers… Ian

Description — Nightfall: A Roanoke Short Story

On a cold November night in 1587, 108 colonists stood starving and alone on the shores of Roanoke Island, their eyes fixed on the heavens as something magnificent and terrifying descended from above.

“Surely this is the end,” one man whispered in fright. Acting quickly, he jammed his knife into a nearby oak to scrawl out a message.

The man was wrong. It was just the beginning.

Witness the Roanoke colonists’ final moments on Earth through the eyes of those who took them in Nightfall, the short story prequel to Colonies Lost.
