A look inside "Crystalline Space"

I've been talking about my new Dark Stars trilogy for some time, and I wanted to share the opening chapter from Crystalline Space with you.

Dark Stars - Book 1: Crystalline Space

You can read the excerpt on my website here: www.amyduboff.com/blog

I hope you enjoy it!

The Cadicle Series is Complete!

Scions of Change, the seventh volume in the Cadicle space opera series, is now live on Amazon! Though this completes the seven-book arc of the Cadicle series I had planned, there are still many more stories I want to tell in this story universe and with these characters.

I began working on this series in the late-1990s as a pet project, never expecting it to see the light of day. At the time, self-publishing was far from an accepted avenue for books, and I never would have considered it. Wow, have things changed! This has been the perfect venue for me, because it’s allowed me to tell the story I wanted to tell. The initial books are too short for a traditional publisher to continue, but through the self-publishing platform, I was able to present the story I envisioned.

It’s still difficult for me to believe that I’ve published seven books in just over two years’ time. What’s even more surreal is that I’ve been working on a book series for twenty years and I can finally call it “complete”. While I wholly intend to write more in this story universe, this main Cadicle story arc is wrapped in the way I originally planned. I hope you enjoyed the ride (and that you will want to come back for more)!

RELEASE DAY! Path of Justice (Cadicle #6)

Release day, finally! The sixth volume in the Cadicle space opera series is now live on Amazon. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Justice-C...

It's hard to believe I've released six novels in less than two years. I've been working on this pet project for about twenty years now, so it's super cool to have this series out there in the world.

I hope you enjoy this installment!

Happy New Year!

There are big things ahead in 2017. First, the core Cadicle series will be complete by this summer (I'm targeting a July release for Volume 7). Afterward, I'll be diving into writing a new series that will be release late this year or early next year.

In other news, the audiobooks of the Cadicle series being produced by Podium Publishing are underway. The narrator had to be recast due to scheduling conflicts, and Josh Bloomberg has stepped up. An omnibus of the first three volumes in the Cadicle series will be ready for release in March. I'll provide details on an exact date once it's set by Podium.

Wishing you great things in the coming year. Happy reading!

RELEASE DATE: Crossroads of Fate (Cadicle #5)

"Crossroads of Fate," the fifth volume in the Cadicle series, will be released on September 2nd!

I got some great feedback from my beta readers and have finished the substantive revisions to the manuscript. It's currently a little shy of 96,000 words, which makes it the longest book in the series by a good margin. I pleased with how it came out, and I hope you like it!

I will not be posting a pre-order for the book this time around, but I'll send out another message when it's live on Amazon. Just three weeks left to wait!

Cadicle series signed by Podium Publishing!

Exciting news! The Cadicle series will soon be available as an audio book bundle from Podium Publishing. Podium has produced numerous award-winning audio books, including The Martian. I'm thrilled to be working with them!

This message been a long time coming, but I wanted to wait to share the news until I had a few more details. The audio books are currently in pre-production, and Todd Haberkorn has been cast as the narrator; he has an impressive resume of voice work spanning audio books, anime, and video games.

I don't yet have a release time frame, but I will share additional information as it becomes available.

COVER REVEAL: Crossroads of Fate (Cadicle #5)

While I unfortunately can't state a firm release date yet, I did want to share the book cover. The illustration is by Tom Edwards, like the previous covers. Since we're finally to the big showdown in the war, and I wanted to reflect that in the cover. I think Tom did a great job capturing one of the battle scenes between the TSS and Bakzen. I hope you like it!

I'll be at Norwescon 39, March 24th to 27th

Norwescon is just two weeks away!

Norwescon is the Pacific Northwest's premier science fiction and fantasy convention and one of the largest regional science fiction and fantasy conventions in the United States. It'll be my first year attending and I'm super excited! I'll have a table in Writer's Row, so if you're in the area, stop by and say hello :-).

I'm happy to answer questions about the Cadicle series, talk about general sci-fi/fantasy nerdom, and sign books or bookmarks. I'll have paperback editions of all four released books available at special con pricing.

Hope to see you there!
