I really enjoyed writing the Revivors series, but there is a special joy that comes with breaking ground on a completely new tale. The Burn Zone is that tale.
This afternoon I verified with my editor at Roc that The Burn Zone is a go. The contract will (I believe) include one other book and then we will kind of take it from there (this is actually quite common from what I understand…it will either sink or swim after two entries). I will be writing under a thinly disguised pen name for this series, the reasons for which I will address in a later post, but for now just know that when I or others refer to ‘James K Decker’ they (or I) am in fact referring to my new alter ego.
The Burn Zone takes place in a completely new world…still on Earth, but in a slightly farther flung future and very different from the Revivors series. It follows the character of Xiao-Xing (nicknamed ‘Ort’) who you’ll get to meet in 2012. I think you’re going to like her, and the wild ride she ends up on.
I’ll provide additional (and better) teasers as we get closer to publication.
Stay tuned…

Hey I just love the 2d book from the revivors series and wish I had gotten in on the ground floor so I could understand the world dynamics of the grind versus the “norma” non-warl society.
I pray you continue to publish your books; 1) I tend to only read a few authors, 2) I only ready 1-2 books/5 years, 3) you have an original story, & 4) it is an easy read
thanks and keep going
James
