RUBICON Is Live, & Aurora Rhapsody On Sale

RUBICON Is Live, & Aurora Rhapsody On Sale

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

Rubicon is a very special book for me, and I hope it will be for you as well. It's a war novel, but because of its flashy space battles (which do happen). It conveys the personal cost of war, and the question of what is truly required to win one. It tackles the morality of hard choices made and the consequences they wreak. It embraces hope, family, forgiveness and the power that comes from believing nothing is impossible - then acting on that belief. It also brings to culmination the second most important story arc of the series and delivers more than one dramatic revelation. So enjoy!

* To celebrate the Rubicon release, ALL THE AURORA RHAPSODY BOOKS ARE ON SALE FOR $0.99 through Monday: Starshine, Vertigo, Transcendence, Sidespace, Dissonance, Abysm and Relativity.

* You can find them all in one place on the Amazon Aurora Rhapsody series page.

I want to thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm, for your messages, reviews and social media shares. Thank you for coming along for the ride on this epic, occasionally insane journey :).

RUBICON Release Date, Blurb & More

RUBICON, Book Two of Aurora Resonant, the final trilogy in the Aurora Rhapsody saga, will be released FRIDAY, JUNE 9th in ebook and paperback (audiobook to follow in July).

You'll be able to enjoy it by the pool, at the beach - or if you live in Australia, next to a cozy fire. Really, anywhere works :). Today, I'm thrilled to present the final Rubicon cover and blurb: (view).

Also, here's your first quote from RUBICON. Look for more quotes in coming days on social media (Twitter, Facebook, G+, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr) and on the website here.

RUBICON 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.

I'll have a bit more to say about the book at release time, but suffice it to say this story means the world to me, and I cannot wait to share it with all of you.

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.

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'.

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.
