First item:
Sometime March 20, midnight Amazon time, my latest novel L4 Station will be released.
While an adventure story (with a young protagonist) it is also a near future, hard science fiction novel. It is in my Remembered Earth universe and builds on the Lunar Series of short stories and novellas (though it is completely standalone).
As I say in the blurb:
The first crew replacement ship to the L4 point of the Earth-Moon system carried the new personnel needed to continue mining the asteroids found there.
It also carried thirteen-year-old Raymond Jones and his younger brother Roger, along with others their age.
Raymond is a bookworm and also from the Moon which makes him a two-time loser to some of the other kids.
But he is determined to not let the bullies, the dangers of space, or his lowly status defeat him.
And others are starting to notice his determination, especially Cindy.
