The Most Epic of Audiobook Sales, & A Huge Thank You

Behind the scenes, I’ve been splicing together and uploading all the omnibus collections as audiobooks. And now, to celebrate the upcoming release of the Chaotica audiobook (it will be here very, very soon, I promise) - and the fact that I actually finished this project (with lots of help from Mr. Jennsen) - I am running a frankly ridiculous sale on the collection audiobooks for the entire month of July.

If you’ve ever been curious about the audiobooks and what all the fuss over Pyper Down is about, this is a price you absolutely cannot beat: 15 novels + 3 short stories for less than $20. Or just start with Aurora Rising for only $1.99 - and if you love it, come back before the end of the month for the rest of them!

This sale is available only Chirp and Apple (Audible simply does not let me set the price, though the collections are up there).

More news: You guys did it! Chaotica has been named the Best Sci-Fi Book of 2022 (So Far) by readers! See the final results here.

I am floored. Blown away. Gobsmacked. Other thesaurus-y words. I mean, I love this book; subjectively, I feel it might well be the best book I've ever written. But what matters is what YOU think, and now you've told the world.

I know I don't have as many readers as John Scalzi or Adrian Tchaikovsky or David Weber - but what I do have are readers that are enthusiastic, engaged and who love this universe and its characters as much as I do. Thank you all so, so much.

...now to go make DUALITY even better.

CHAOTICA Cover Reveal, Plus an Exciting Announcement & Free Sci-Fi Books

CHAOTICA is almost ready! I’ll have a release date announcement and more news in a couple of weeks, but today, I am beyond thrilled to share with you the cover art for Chaotica. It might be my new favorite. See the cover.

Remember, you can pre-order Chaotica from your favorite retailer today (or a paperback or hardback from me). PRE-ORDER

So what’s that exciting announcement? I’m launching a new way to share fun extras with readers who want more from the Amaranthe universe. Over at Buy Me A Coffee (think Patreon, but less evil overlordish; also, coffee), I'll be sharing monthly live streams (with chat) where I answer your questions, talk about my current writing and other space/sci-fi related topics, and read an excerpt from the current WIP. ** Important ** - If you sign up, you’ll be gaining access to new goodies, but if you choose not to participate, you won’t be losing anything. You’ll still get a steady offering of books, free short stories, musings on space news, art shares and more from me, just like always.

I made a short video introducing the program; if you’re not able to watch it, you can read all the details and see all the rewards that come with each membership tier in this Welcome post.

Also, I’ve got an epic - and I do mean epic - collection of over 50 FREE science fiction ebooks, plus a bunch of fantasy, horror and superhero titles. The promotion ends on the 16th, so grab them today!

STARLIGHT EXPRESS Short Story - Now FREE in Ebook & Audiobook

STARLIGHT EXPRESS Short Story - Now FREE in Ebook & Audiobook

The STARLIGHT EXPRESS short story - originally published in the fantastic Beyond the Stars: Across the Universe anthology - is now available as a stand-alone ebook, FREE at all online retailers. And it’s also available on release day in audiobook! You can listen to the audio FREE here on the website, or grab it for $0.99-$1.99 at these audiobook retailers. (Note: the audiobook will be available at Audible soon, hopefully in the next 1-2 weeks.)

** OBLIGATORY SPOILER WARNING **

If you’re still making your way through the Aurora Rhapsody novels, Starlight Express contains major spoilers for the end of Requiem. In fact, even the summary below contains spoilers. So grab it now (did I mention it’s free?) and stash it to the side. Once you finish Requiem, I think you will find this story an absolute delight to read. :)

*

The Starlight Express has a reputation as the wildest, most exotic alien bar in two dozen galaxies. So when Noah and Caleb want to kick back for a few hours the night before Noah’s nuptials, it’s the obvious choice. And the wrong one.

See, aliens tend to be the quirky sort, and humans haven’t quite gotten the hang of them yet, which is why no one should be surprised when a friendly disagreement over one too many drinks goes sideways. Now, a jailbreak, a police chase across seven galaxies and an exploding ship have to get them out of this mess, or else Noah’s last night of freedom will end up being his last night, period.

CHAOTICA update! I finished the Official First Draft 2 weeks ago, and it sailed right through that 120K word goal. I'll be honest - I don't think I've ever loved a book so much this early in the process as I do this one. I LOVE IT. I am so frigging excited to share it with you all! After a lot more work....

Did you know you can pre-order Chaotica in ebook, paperback & hardback today? Because you can: Pre-Order Chaotica. Stay tuned for a cover reveal, release date and more.

In other fun news, last week I had the immense pleasure of appearing on the Blasters & Blades podcast for an evening of geeking out about scifi, space and the Amaranthe universe. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOYOWfmsgCw

What did we talk about? Well...

  • doors to Narnia & time machines

  • the first SpecFic story I ever wrote

  • my most embarrassing reader interactions

  • why space battles and torturing characters are awesome

  • why Miriam is also awesome

  • subgenre rules and why they're dumb

  • **What's next for the Amaranthe universe after Riven Worlds

  • and much, much more

By the way, #MrJennsen says this is the best interview I've ever given.️ I'll let you judge for yourself.

Many thanks to JR Handley, Doc Cisca and Ranger Nick for letting me hang out with them for a little while. You can check out all episodes of the Blasters & Blades podcast on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgMOEeToeis4pjiheGa_kwA or on Anchor.Fm at https://anchor.fm/blasters-and-blades/.
