RELATIVITY Audiobook Now Available

RELATIVITY Audiobook Now Available

The RELATIVITY audiobook is here! Grab it on Amazon, Audible and iTunes. Haven't been listening, but are interested in starting now? Send me an email - the first five people to respond will get a code to download the audiobook of their choice from Audible for free.

  • Pyper Down has been a fantastic narrator from the start, but she has truly outdone herself this time. Six new POV voices and 18 new speakers - 12 of them from 6 new alien species - and she handled them all flawlessly.
  • Eren, Felzeor and the rest of the new cast are brought to life with wonderful uniqueness and personality, and I couldn't be happier (you can probably tell). So give it a listen :).

 

Amazon recently launched Prime Reading, a curated selection of quality books that Prime members can download and read for free (learn more about the program here). I'm honored to announce that STARSHINE is one of 44 science fiction novels currently selected for the program. Until the end of March, Amazon Prime members can read Starshine for FREE.

The first draft of RUBICON is complete. Only two more drafts and five rounds of editing to go ;). You can read a little more about it in my recent Facebook post. Keep track of Rubicon's progress with the word count and (soon) editing meter in the right-hand column of the website homepage, under Works in Progress.

Holiday Wishes & A Holiday Sale

Holiday Wishes & A Holiday Sale

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holidays! I won't take much of your time, so you can get back to the eggnog and leftover cookies:

  • The response to RELATIVITY has been absolutely tremendous. I love that you love Eren, Felzeor, and the wondrous and dangerous universe of Amaranthe as much as I do. If you've had the chance to finish reading Relativity, consider posting a quick review on Amazon or sharing the book on social media - you have my thanks!
  • In an overabundance of holiday spirit, I've put both Aurora Rising and Aurora Renegades: The Complete Collections on sale for $0.99 (or currency equivalent) on Amazon WORLDWIDE. The sale runs until the calendar flips to the new year, so tell your friends they have something to spend a tiny fraction of their Christmas gift cards on :).

Thank you all for an amazing year, and I look forward to sharing more of Alex and Caleb's incredible story with you all in the next one.

RELATIVITY Is Live

RELATIVITY Is Live

RELATIVITY: Aurora Resonant Book One is now available in ebook and paperback on Amazon worldwide. The ebook is available at a special release price of $0.99 for one week, so grab it before it moves to its regular price - the sooner the better, as release-day sales matter a great deal.

  • Reviews are the greatest gift you can give, but posts on Twitter, Facebook or other social media sites, your own blogs, and forums are also most welcome. If Relativity moves you, tell others about it.
  • Pyper Down will start recording in the next few days, and we hope to have the audiobook in your ears in February.

Relativity pulls back the curtain on a whole new universe of places, aliens and wonders - and things are hopping back in Aurora, too ;). If you missed my recent blog post on the new Resonant trilogy, give it a glance today: Resonant, Relativity, Re/Genesis and Other Musings on the Letter 'R'.

  • On that note, if you haven't read Re/Genesis yet, you can pick it up for FREE on Amazon worldwide, Nook, Google Play and Wattpad, as well as download it directly from the website or even read it on the website: get your links here. It's best read before Relativity, but no time is the wrong time.
     

To celebrate the Relativity release, ALL THE AURORA RHAPSODY BOOKS ARE ON SALE FOR $0.99 for the next week: Starshine, Vertigo, Transcendence, Sidespace, Dissonance and Abysm. You can find them all in one place on the Amazon Aurora Rhapsody series page.

* This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who's interested in reading the series to jump in, so spread the word.

* With the exception of Relativity, this sale is US/UK only; if you live in other locales, I've got a sale coming your way Christmas Day.

I hope everyone enjoys a wonderful Christmas season filled with friends and loved ones, many gifts and much frivolity, and that Relativity brings an added touch of joy to your holidays :).

RE/GENESIS Now Available (Free), RELATIVITY Paperback Giveaway & More

RE/GENESIS, an Aurora Rhapsody short story that appeared this fall in the anthology Beyond the Stars: At Galaxy's Edge, is now available as a standalone story - and it joins all my other short stories as FREE on Amazon (in the U.S., possibly elsewhere), Nook, Google Play and Wattpad. In addition, you can download it directly (.mobi, .epub or PDF) or read it right here on the website.

  • If you've already read Re/Genesis, consider taking a moment and leaving a quick review. It's a short story, and a similarly short review is all I ask. Thanks in advance!
  • Why have I made it this drop-dead easy for you to read Re/Genesis? Because it serves as a bridge between Abysm and Relativity, and the events it portrays will play a vital role in the unfolding story of Aurora Resonant. So read it before Relativity gets here - you won't regret it.

  • A year and a half ago, I said in a blog post: "Aurora Resonant will mark a return to epic space opera in the grandest sense. I plan, hope and intend it to be the true culmination of everything that has come before it, and the ultimate in high stakes choices and consequences." I've worked hard (and joyfully) to make sure RELATIVITY lives up to this promise. Bringing the universe of Amaranthe to life has been an amazing journey and a tremendously rewarding challenge, and I cannot wait to share this epic new adventure with you very, very soon!
