One of the things I’ve always enjoyed most about writing the Wings of Earth universe is that there are stories hiding between the novels.
Some of them answer questions you didn’t even know to ask. Others quietly introduce characters or events that won’t become important until much later. They’re not required reading, but they add another layer to the larger journey.
Today I’m excited to share one of those stories with you.
Shadetree Witness is a brand-new novel that takes place immediately before Echoes of Starlight. It stands on its own, but it also reveals events that tie directly into Echoes of Starlight and even set the stage for parts of the next Wings of Earth novel, No Lost Cause (which is scheduled to be released on August 25th).
As a member of this community, I’m giving you exclusive early access. For the next four weeks, Shadetree Witness is available free through my website before it releases to all the major retailers.
After that introductory period, it will become a regular release everywhere books are sold.
So, if you’ve ever wondered what happened just before Ethan Walker got to Starlight, now is your chance to discover another piece of the Wings of Earth universe before anyone else.
A lucky break isn’t always what it seems.
Sometimes at the bottom of a mine, justice goes BOOM.
Anthony Wolfe is coasting through the last posting of his long career as Manager of the MonJaro mining operations on the remote planet of Shadetree. He’s counting the days until his retirement, and then an unlikely explosion kills one of his engineers, and nothing stacks square.
His search for answers puts him in the crosshairs of corporate management. They waste no time replacing the dead man and ordering Wolfe to back off, but when the new engineer shows up with a ship full of high-tech equipment and an agenda that has nothing to do with mining, he just can’t let it go.
Now, he has a choice: turn a blind eye, or keep looking for answers and risk everything. But Wolfe has never been one to walk away. As he bores toward the truth, he uncovers a dangerous secret that someone is willing to kill to protect.
By the time he realizes what he’s stumbled into, he may have lost his last chance to escape.
Dig into Shadetree Witness today and unearth the truth in this exciting prequel to Wings of Earth: Echoes of Starlight.
I hope you enjoy the journey, and as always, thank you for being part of this incredible adventure.
