Readers have requested the art work of the Silver Ships series. So, I’ve created a page on my website to make the images easily available for all. On the page you’ll find a banner, the larger Kindle cover file, and a poster, suitable for printing, for each book in the series.
I hope you enjoy the creative efforts of Alisha of Damon Za. A reminder: these images are for personal use only.
“Haraken” Audiobook
I’m happy to announce that, as of July 12th, the “Haraken” audiobook is now available in an MP3 version on Amazon.
The CD version of the audiobook will be available in a few days more on Amazon, Audible, Blackstone’s site, and Blackstone’s third-party distributors.
This represents the fourth audiobook available for the Silver Ships series. I’m in the process of setting up a contract to ensure that “Sol” is also distributed in audio formats.
Days after “Sol” was released it hit #1 in two categories and #2 in a third category, boosted by the book’s advanced orders. While the position at the top of Amazon’s rankings is short-lived, it’s a delight to be appreciated by my loyal readers.
Thank you readers!
“Sol” Book Cover
“Sol”, the fifth book in the Silver Ships series, will be released on Amazon on July 1st.
For the fans out there, “Sol” concludes the story started in the fourth book, “Haraken”. Alex and company have chosen to preempt United Earth by showing up at Sol before the Earthers send their fleet to the Confederation.
To those that have asked the question, “Are more books planned for this series?” The answer is yes. At least three more novels and a short story, following “Sol” are in the planning stage.
Apologies for this slightly late announcement, but I’ve been keeping my head down to finish the first draft of Sol, the fifth book in the Silver Ships series.
Belatedly, I’m pleased to announce that the Méridien audiobook, the third audiobook in the series, is online in both MP3 and CD formats.
My sincere thanks to all the fans who have waited so patiently for the continuation of the audiobook series.
Visit Amazon.com, Audible.com, or Blackstone Audio for your copy of the Méridien audiobook, narrated by Grover Gardner and distributed by Blackstone Audio.
The Haraken Cover
First of all, the fourth book in the Silver Ships series has a new title, Haraken.
Two reasons for the change: (1) the book is more about the people, the Harakens, than the system they inhabit, Hellébore, and (2) it’s easier to insert this title into some of the listing services, which have antiquated data systems and have difficulty handling accented letters.
I’m wrapping up the editing and proofreading processes this month and will publish the eBook on March 1st.
You can visit my website, scottjucha.com, to get a preview of the first two chapters and the book’s description after the 20th of this month.
Libre Audiobook Cover
Good News! The audiobook for Libre, the second audiobook in the Silver Ships series, is finally online.
Its publishing required that I become my own audiobook producer, but the transition will enable me to keep the audiobooks published on schedule. My sincere thanks to all the fans who waited so patiently for the audiobook series to continue.
Visit Amazon.com, Audible.com, or Blackstone Audio for your copy of Libre‘s audiobook, narrated by Grover Gardner and distributed by Blackstone Audio.
Méridien, my third novel, debuted on Amazon on November 1st and within three days was listed as number one in three science fiction categories. My heartfelt thanks to my fans who keep reading my books and and following the story of Alex and company!
Author’s Wife Demonstrates Ease of Flying Model Silver Ship
— TSS News release —-
In collaboration with Melvin Industries, author S. H. Jucha commissioned the building of a model of a gravity-driven Silver Ship, otherwise known as a “dark traveler.” The above photo, shows the author’s wife demonstrating the ease with which the ship can be controlled.
Melvin Industries President, Dave Melvin was quoted as saying, “This is one of the most difficult contracts our company has ever worked on, but we were thrilled to be selected to build this first-of-a-kind drive system.” Asked when a full-scale model might be available, Mr. Melvin declined to comment saying, “It was too soon to tell.”
S. H. Jucha did admit that there were challenges to perfecting the tiny controller, but in the end the bugs were discovered and corrected. “I’m overjoyed with this proof of concept of a gravity-driven ship and can’t wait to see a full-sized shuttle, utilizing this design, in the future.”
This reporter can only say, “Watch out SpaceX! You may have competition!”
Disclaimer: This post, which is pure fiction, is meant to be a thank you to a group of very supportive readers of my novels, Dave Melvin, his wife Cindy, and his daughter Tiffany. Dave sent me the model on a whim, and I laughed saying that I had no individuals that small to fly it. Dave replied by sending me a remote controller, built with a “message in the bottle” so to speak. P.S. Dave, Peggy got a kick out of “flying” it.
