Assorted

It appears I fell off the blogging horse for a few days. Things have been a bit hectic lately. Aside from some Valentine’s Day activities, I recently was offered a new day job and accepted and so that took up a decent amount of my time. The new job proves to make my life at least a little easier, so I do have that to look forward to.

Just a few things to remark on, noneĀ  of them connected:

  • I went to Red Rooster in Harlem on Saturday with N. It’s a really nice place and the food is terrific. I’d been to Marcus Samuelsson’s other restaurants before – Riingo, and Aquavit – but Red Rooster just seems to have something, maybe it’s just a warmth and welcoming atmosphere, that those other places lacked. It’s definitely worth a trip to Harlem for. The meals were great as were the drinks and dessert as well.
  • I have, with the help of friends Torie and Jeff, discovered the game Munchkin. I played a couple of rounds this past weekend discovering not only Munchkin Cthulhu, but Munchkin Impossible, their spy-flavored version. It’s a fun game, though I am itching to try a mixed-game with multiple genres.
  • Tonight and tomorrow night I got to see one of my favorite bands, The Church. I’ve mentioned them here before. This concert is a special one where they’re playing three of their albums in their entirety – the most recent, the amazing Untitled #23, Priest = Aura, and Starfish. While I love all three albums, I’m mostly looking forward to Priest = Aura because they typically don’t play much from that one.

That’s all I have to report for now. And because a computer crash ate my last attempt to post this, I’m sending it off now.

Raining Fire – Out now!

Raining Fire, the third and final book in the Ben Gold series, was released on July 18, 2017. This book concludes the story begun in Falling Sky and Rising Tide. Publisher’s Weekly said, “Khanna wraps up his postapocalyptic adventure series with a capable page-turner…the airships, slavers, cannibalistic Ferals, and visceral action scenes make this a worthy culmination to the series.”

Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble now.

Rising Tide -Out now!


Rising Tide, the sequel to Falling Sky, was released on October 6, 2015. Publisher's Weekly said, "Khanna crafts a terrifyingly dismal picture of the future, raising the stakes by gradually stripping Ben of friends and support while throwing him into increasingly dire situations. His worldbuilding remains solid and unsettling, and he never loses sight of the human element. The cliffhanger ending is sure to leave readers on the edges of their seats, panting for resolution."

Falling Sky – Out now!


Falling Sky, my first novel, came out October 7, 2014 from Pyr. It's an adventure story set in a post-apocalyptic future with airships. Publisher's Weekly called it a "solid and memorable debut" while Library Journal gave it a starred review and named it Debut of the Month. For more information, please click here.
