In the year 2020
humanity found out it was, indeed, not alone in the universe. They appeared without
warning above the capitals of all major nations. Huge, menacing, and completely
unresponsive space ships dominated the skies and sent the media into a complete
tailspin.
First contact came
within hours of the sightings. The question of what these aliens wanted
prompted emergency closed-door meetings at NATO. The name of their planet
was Ta’Nar—and it was dying. Originally, the Ta’Narians were a dual-sexed
warrior race. Chemical warfare had essentially rendered them sterile.
The Ta’Narians required
DNA for their harvesting program. Since we couldn’t duplicate their technology,
those males who were to participate had to be transported to their world.
Here in the United
States a lottery system was set up, and each young man between the ages of twenty-three
and twenty-eight was assigned a number.
Once a year, for the next
five years, numbers would be drawn and a new set of one thousand males would be
collected. The media coined the expression
‘The Harvest’ for the time when the Ta’Narians returned to collect these young
men. I was seventeen when the aliens first appeared. My parents assumed I
was safe since the final collection would be done before I turned twenty-three.
I didn’t fall within the established guidelines. I thought I had nothing to
fear.
I was wrong.
My name is Dale. Are
you ready for The Harvest? I hope so, because it’s coming to Storm Moon Press in late October.

That's right, it's coming, guys. Are you ready? The Harvest:Taken will be released by Storm Moon press late October. And... they contracted the second book too. YAYAYAYAY!!! And... lol, they're interested in the young stories.
I've set up a FB page for The Harvest. https://www.facebook.com/#!/theharvest00 Dale and the gang will be there if y'all want to talk to them, check in, or ask questions. If you stop by, give Dale and rest some love since it's a new page. P-pppppppplease?
Dale will also have his own Twitter too... just as soon as I get it set up, lol. It took forever for me to get their FB page done, lol.
It's been a long time coming, and now that it's here... *laugh* I'm still in shock, I think. So, there we are! We have about 6 more months then it'll be out. I'll update on edits, covers, and stuff. Can't wait to see a cover!
Get ready for The Harvest!
