Spoiler/Preview Post: the PMF 7 Pitch! (Patreon)

Normally one of the toughest parts of writing a book comes with writing the cover pitch. Most writers I know struggle with this. As a kid, I got real good at writing book summaries for school, but as a writer working on my own stuff it's usually a terrible chore. I can fuss and struggle with it for half a day or longer. It's hours and hours on a couple hundred words.

Last week, while out running errands, the cover pitch for Poor Man's Fight 7 hit me all at once. I stopped the car, pulled out my phone to write a sentence or three in my Notes app, and sat right down once I got home to finish it. This may get some tweaks before I publish, but if you wonder where our next book is going:

HERO. WAR CRIMINAL.

FRESHMAN DORM RESIDENT ADVISOR.

Even the best schools have their problem students. Fremantle University has a bumper crop this year, turning the seventh floor of the north dorm into a vortex of delinquents, drama, and space age mad science. For Tanner Malone, it’s a breath of fresh air. Anything is better than interstellar war and genocidal aliens.

Those ugly threats haunt Tanner again when an adorable alien refugee comes to him for help. The Runners have barely survived extinction and captivity, only to fall under the mercy of a greedy corporate overlord. Worse yet, the menace that nearly wiped them out still threatens them all. Tanner can’t call in the Archangel Navy for help this time—but college life may have already given him exactly the allies he needs.
