Updates and a bunch of free books

Hello again, I hope you're all well.
First I'll get the news and updates out of the way, then I'll let you know about some cool offers going on.
January was a bit of a quiet month for me, writing-wise. I finished editing and published the third book in my Asian rom-sus series, meaning I could dust my hands off and get back to my spec fic after my little genre excursion.
First up for Feb, I'm hoping to get some serious progress on my epic fantasy done. I won't say "finish", because its been in progress since last June already and is well into that old school long-time-to-write-a-book situation that sometimes I actually miss. It's currently a little under 140,000 words, and there's no end in sight. One thing, though. It's awesome. You're going to love it.
Once that's out of the way, I really want to finish up my YA fantasy series. I've got two books written, they just need to be edited. Still, I'm trying to focus on one project at a time this year, rather than multitasking.
Anyway, that's about it for progress updates. Now I'd like to share with you a couple of awesome promotions going on that I'm involved with.

There's a big one going on here at www.lincolncole.net. I'm a bit slow to the draw on the sci-fi one (babies and jobs tend to do that ...!) but most of those books will still be available and there is another one on there about to start, if romance is your thing.
Another cool sci-fi one is going on on Katherine Hayton's website right here. Check it out for some cool post-apoc books. She's got something cool going on with the covers too, must ask how she does that!
If you're into mysteries and thrillers, you can grab some free books on www.perfectingthecraft.net, run by James Craft. You can grab one of my rom-sus books over there if you haven't read it already. It's awesome, trust me haha.
Finally, there are a ton of free books over at The Prolific Reader, run by Melanie Tomlin. They are organised by genre, so take a look around. You'll see a couple of my books on there too.

Finally, I just finished another book review which you can view on my website. The book is After the Pretty Pox: The Attic by August Ansel and I thought it was fantastic. If you like post-apoc / survivalist fiction it'll be right up your street. I wasn't sure what to expect because the cover was a bit basic, but the title kind of intrigued me and once I started reading I was hooked. Trust me, that's rare for me. I put aside a Pulitizer Prize-winning book to read this one (I'll be reviewing that soon because it too is pretty awesome).
Anyway, that's all for now. Have a nice week and speak to you soon.
Kind regards,
Chris
