Battlespace is now available

It's sad to say but the Sci-Fi anthology has been delayed until July 10th.  The publishers say they ran into some snags but are working to fix them.  They have however picked a cover for the book.  It's pretty cool although I think the girl looks like something from G.I. Joe but that is kind of the theme of the book so who am I to judge? 

Anyway, here's the cover.  Hope you guys like it.

Update:  Battlespace is now available.  Go to:  https://www.createspace.com/3924989 and order yours today.

About Warrior Cry

Warrior Cry is a group of volunteers who work with wounded soldiers in the Washington, DC, metro area. It provides the soldiers with musical instruments and then teaches them to play. Music is a great form of physical and mental therapy. Working closely with therapists to create a positive educational and therapeutic music program, Warrior Cry gives wounded soldiers something positive to work toward and helps to get their minds off of their injuries. Music also helps get our wounded soldiers out of their shell and interested in socializing with others.
