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.

More news about RELATIVITY's upcoming release:

• I'm giving away FIVE COPIES of the RELATIVITY paperback over on Goodreads. The contest ends Dec. 15th (just before release), so head over to the contest page and enter today (U.S. only; apologies to my international readers).

• 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!
