If folks remember, back at JoeCon in April, Hasbro announced that they would be producing a new figure next year based on a character from one of the Kindle Worlds novels that are on Amazon.com. This obviously excited me quite a bit, since I have a few of those novels posted myself.
Well, tonight at the New York ComicCon ‘Twas the Night Before party, Hasbro revealed fantastic artwork of four of these characters who will be included in a “Fan Vote” to decide which character gets the new figure next year!
This is very exciting news for me personally…as a diehard action figure fan and G.I. Joe collector for 30+ years, the possibility of a character I created getting made into an actual G.I. Joe figure has me almost giddy. It’s a fantastic feeling! The artwork Hasbro had done to represent my character (Whisper) is spectacular.
That being said, all four characters are new characters, which is very cool, and while I have my own skin in the game, it will be great to get a new character on the G.I. Joe or Cobra roster regardless of who created them.
Check out the images below, and if you need a refresher on Whisper, check out my Price of Peace trilogy on Amazon. She plays a REALLY big role in that series of novels.

Hasbro unveiled their new “Hasbro Pulse” fan conduit website a short while ago and it’s already proven to be a source of some great information.
As of October 1st, however, it clearly jumped the shark, because they featured an interview with yours truly to talk about Kindle Worlds, the Wolf Squad, and other related G.I. Joe topics.
In all seriousness, I was quite honored to be asked to speak about my experiences with Kindle Worlds and how fun it was to explore Wolf Squad, and you can check out that interview right here.
While you’re there, be sure to check out all the great intel from Hasbro related to NYCC reveals for Transformers, Star Wars, My Little Pony and other excitement!
Hasbro Pulse looks to be a great conduit of some fandom information straight from the source. Big thanks to the fine folks at Hasbro for talking with me and letting me share my experiences!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has bought Welcome to Wolf Squad available at the Kindle Worlds store. The reaction has been fantastic! I am humbled and thankful to everyone, truly.
Anyone who has purchased and read the novella, please consider writing a quick review if you would. Good reviews help would-be readers find the book and provide good feedback to me as well.
When I wrote Welcome to Wolf Squad over ten days last week I never anticipated the positive response I would get, and the reaction has inspired me to dive whole hog into more G.I. Joe fiction. I hope to have some exciting news in that regard in a little while.
Until then, though, if enjoy Welcome to Wolf Squad as well as The Price of Peace trilogy please consider writing a few reviews and thank you all!

I’ll admit, I geeked out just a little bit during the GeneralsJoes Q & A when designer John Violette mentioned the Wolf Squad. I geeked out so much I immediately started writing a new G.I. Joe Novella, my first fan fiction since my Dio-Story universe ended!
Fans who are familiar with the line up for the upcoming 50th Anniversary assortment in 2015 will find a lot in common here. Using the mentioned “Wolf Squad” as an inspiration, I crafted an exciting story pitting Joes against Cobras with the characters and vehicles from this upcoming line.
It’s a Novella and it’s available on Kindle Worlds now! Check it out!
!
Any reference to Wolf Squad here is my own take on the idea, nothing endorsed by Hasbro…and this is a “stand alone” story, though may end up being somewhat of a spring board into something…we’ll see. 🙂
Enjoy!

Amazon.com has launched a sale on many of their Kindle Worlds offerings, including a couple of my own books.
Normally $3.99 they have been marked at sale prices of $1.99, which makes it a perfect time to get caught up on my G.I. Joe universe. For folks who have been enjoying my dio-stories over the years, that universe began with my “Price of Peace” books, all of which are currently on the Kindle Worlds platform.
Check out the following links below to take advantage of this great sale!
There are scores of offerings from other great writers, too, so take this opportunity to do some G.I. Joe reading!
