"The Legion’s going to change the whole world! With powers like these, who wouldn’t? You saw Pitch in action. They can take on an army."
—Sons of Thunder: A young adult Christian superhero story. #VSS365 #action

"Well, you have two options. For one thing, you might develop powers of your own. We’re still studying this. We don’t know exactly how it works, but we’ve definitely seen it happen."

Sons of Thunder has a new cover! It's also getting a minor editing touchup. Because it's in the same genre as Seer's Blade, I intend to use it in the launch campaign, and it's got to look ready!

Demons are real. To fight them you need a Sword of the Spirit. But the blade is not for the faint of heart. Coming December 4! Sign up for the Books by Bowen Greenwood email list to be notified when it comes out. subscribepage.io/bowengreenwood

After years under tyranny, no one remembers what it's like to be born with the quantum sense—until Mercy Hail's begins to manifest. Now both sides in an interstellar war want her for their own purposes. Start the Exile War series with Mercy Rising at www.ExileWar.com

A young woman running away through a sci-fi city

Lately, odd was the least of it. Strange and unsettling things had been happening—things neither she nor science could predict or explain, things that might harm the people she cared about.

Deeper Secrets, New Thriller - Books by Bowen Greenwood Books reviewed or written by Bowen Greenwood, author of the bestselling political thriller Death of Secrets.

Deeper Secrets is the conclusion of my very first series of books. I went to college among the Catholics, and my alma mater features prominently in this book, and in many of my other DC-based political thrillers. Check out the book here. www.bowengreenwood.com/deeper-secre...

Opposite the chapel was mighty old Healy Hall, the stone centerpiece of the campus, featured prominently in all the marketing #literature designed to entice fresh-faced high school seniors. That was the building that interested Weston.

The voice was an earthquake, rattling my bones. “She is mine. Mine by right, and I will have her.”

Naomi replied, “The law is ancient, spawn of hell, and it has not changed. No one is worthless, and no one is lost until they die. No one.”

—Seer's Blade, forthcoming. #VSS365 #law

He had had well over a month to study the difference between Exile Archons and Earth Archons. The linguistic changes had been predicted. It was not surprising that a people apart for so long had developed a #language apart.

Just as I’m starting to write the sequel, The Deepest Cut snagged another review. Thank you, kind reader!

“What is wrong with you?” Kotov asked. “We are almost out.”

Clara shot back, “Run if you want.”

“He is merely bourgeois! Not worth your life.”

“They’ll torture him. They’re #famous for it. You ought to know, you fund them.”

All the educational materials about plane crashes said to remain near the wreckage.

Miri wasn’t thinking about that. A giant fireball had just ripped through the air. Rescue workers might be too busy wherever it hit to hunt for her.

He’d gotten married since the war, and to avoid #domestic strife, his ship’s voice was now significantly less sultry than it used to be.

“This appears to work, General. I calculate a roughly 92 percent probability of success."

The #creature of smoke and flame flowed toward me, and the cold flowed with it. Still it chanted its poisonous lullaby, “Take me home, protect me,” but its voice now screeched like a carrion bird.

She blended in with a simple black dress, neither too daring nor too boring. It had one big flaw, as far as Clara Verona was concerned.

It had nowhere to conceal a gun.

I started work on The Hardest Drug this morning, sequel to The Deepest Cut. Another Cold War spy thriller.

A foreign presence shoved open the doors to her mind, rooting like a child digging through a toy box. Greedy, grasping quantum entanglements twisted as Acre pulled out what he wanted like pulling the innards out of a #Halloween pumpkin.

Seer's Blade has gone to the editor!

I stuck with self publishing instead of trying to find an agent. There are just so many indie things I want to do: take a run at a bestseller list, enter the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off, take another stab at recording my own audiobook.

Demons, though? That was the part I couldn’t credit.

More likely, they were something more rational. A new kind of AI robot. I found it a lot easier to believe in a government #experiment. Even aliens were more likely than demons.

The sidewalk seemed so different in the fading light. Gone were the looming shadows. Gone was the sense of menace and the creepy chill. It was just an ordinary Georgetown sidewalk.

The true purpose of getting a box from Amazon.

Can't push paper all day . . .

"On a subatomic level, everything is entangled to everything else. Scientists call it quantum entanglement. Molecules and atoms and smaller things still are tied to other particles. What happens to one affects the other."

Smog and flame loomed like a mountain. Flecked with orange, the roiling cloud of #ash and black almost had to bend its neck to fit. Reality bent instead. The space seemed to grow to accommodate the demon.
