Resonant, Relativity, Re/Genesis and Other Musings On The Letter ‘R’

Re/Genesis: Schrödinger’s Cat and Sleights of Hand

Before I dive into Relativity’s secrets and grand reflections on this new trilogy, a few words on the Re/Genesis short story.

If you haven’t read Re/Genesis as part of the Beyond the Stars: At Galaxy’s Edge anthology, your excuses are now at an end. Re/Genesis is free on Amazon (in the U.S., possibly elsewhere), Nook, Google Play and Wattpad. You can also download a .mobi, .ePub or PDF version directly; you can even read the story right here on the website. It’s a quick read, yet so important. Get to it!

Much like Apogee did for Aurora Renegades, the events of Re/Genesis will play a vital role in the unfolding story of Aurora Resonant. It takes place concurrently with the end of Abysm, serving as a bridge between Abysm and Relativity in more ways than one. It zooms in to give us our first real glimpse of Amaranthe, seen through the eyes of someone who wants to blow it up (as it were).

Ah, yes, Eren. In Re/Genesis we meet Eren asi-Idoni—Anaden, anarchist and dashing rebel. He will play a huge role in Relativity and all of Resonant, and Re/Genesis provides quite the dramatic introduction for him.

RELATIVITY Release Date, Blurb & More

RELATIVITY, Book One of Aurora Resonant, the final trilogy in the Aurora Rhapsody saga, will be released Friday, December 16th in ebook and paperback (audiobook to follow in early 2017).

This makes it perfect Christmas vacation reading, no? Also perfect for Christmas gift giving and all-around sharing of the holiday spirit.

  • I'm thrilled to present the final Relativity cover and blurb: (see images in post)
  • Here's your first quote from Relativity. Look for more quotes in coming days on social media (Twitter, Facebook, G+, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr) and on the website here. (see quote in post)
  • Relativity already has its own page here on the website, and here's the Goodreads page so you can add it to your "Want to Read" shelf.
  • 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!

Aurora Renegades Collection Now Available, & A Relativity Update

AURORA RENEGADES: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION is now available on Amazon worldwide at a special release price $0.99 for one week only. AURORA RENEGADES bundles together the three novels in the Aurora Renegades trilogy (Sidespace, Dissonance, Abysm) as well as the Apogee short story in one ebook with a stunning new cover. Get it today.

  • To celebrate the release, AURORA RISING: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION is on sale for $0.99 this week as well (US and UK only). If you know anyone who might be interested in reading this series, there has truly never been a better time for them to dive in - all 6 novels + 3 short stories for $1.98. If you want to help spread the word about Aurora Rhapsody (which would make me happy), tell people about this sale!
  • Also, if you've posted reviews for any of Sidespace, Dissonance or Abysm, please consider copying them over to Aurora Renegades. If you haven't gotten around to posting a review, well, now's an excellent time to share all your thoughts on the trilogy in one place ;). It's going to take a while for new readers to get through the whole trilogy, so a couple of early reviews will help a great deal in increasing visibility for the Collection. You have my thanks.
  • It's been three months since Abysm came out, and RELATIVITY already exists in a big way. The story has crested 110K words and I'm well into the editing process. Eagle-eyed visitors to the website or my social media pages will notice I've updated the date banners on the Aurora Resonant covers - in particular, the Relativity date has been moved up from early 2017 to Winter 2016 :). Look for more news on the Relativity release soon!
