Wow.
Seriously, wow.
On January 1st, I did not expect to have 500 Twitter followers by the end of the year, much less by March 6th! But as of @svnsxvi Thank you all for your follows and for your attention.
And, in thanks, I’m offering everyone a present.
I’m giving away free copies of my Kindle short, “Hull Down”, from now until Thursday. All you need to do is head to Amazon, search for “R. Jean Mathieu” and grab your free Kindle edition.
(While you’re there, you could even follow me on Amazon!)
So what’s it about? I’ll tell you:
“The room pulsed around him, its fetid breath almost palpable even through the helmet. The bodies of Commander Wu Suzhen and Major Sam Harris were woven into the wall, a superimposed lovers’ embrace developed in resin and red light. Their shapes were fuzzy; the inside of Matt’s helmet sticky with condensation like his hair was sticky with sweat. His inner ear couldn’t find north or down, his eyes stung and he could taste something salty, but whether blood, sweat or tears, he couldn’t tell.
From “Hull Down”
Why did you live?”
Pvt. Matthew LeWald is surprised when a Navy officer leads his Marines on the Search and Rescue operation. He’s even more surprised to be the only survivor of a mission gone disastrously wrong, when better men than him died left and right. Why did he live? But there are stranger things afoot than war, things like love and things like enlightenment.
The reviewers are saying it’s “not your Dad’s military SF” and calling it “strange [and] haunting.”
Whether you’ve known me for years or just followed me yesterday, this is for you, and you have all the way until Thursday, March 12th to claim it.
Thank you again for the follows. Here’s to 500 more.
PS – If you still can’t get enough of my work (and yay!), there’s still time to become mon patron in time to see the teaser for “Doña Ana Lucía Serrano y la Caja de Venuswood (Lady Ana Lucía Serrano and the Venuswood Box)!” Just head over to Patreon and sign up for the price of a cup of coffee per month.
