Gods of Smoke and Stars: A Seeds of Chaos Adventure

Gods of Smoke and Stars is live on Amazon, and has been sent to all the people on my newsletter list. I’m setting it up so that future signups will get the free download link automatically, so you’re not out of luck if you haven’t already signed up for it.

While I was creating the cover this time, I took some screenshots of the process. This was the fastest I’ve ever created a cover, at about ten unbroken hours of work. Of course, I regretted that afterward when I realized I hadn’t eaten that...

Gods of Myth and Midnight Ebook Available

Gods of Myth and Midnight has been released, and is available for purchase on Amazon, or to borrow through Kindle Unlimited.

It’s the longest book I’ve ever written, coming in at over 600 pages (184,000 words). You can see the size of the printed manuscript below. In my opinion, it’s also the best book I’ve written so far. (Sorry for the poor image quality–my phone is ancient and so is its camera.)

 

Despite its length, it’s taken me less time than the previous two books to write, which mean...

Audiobook-Gods of Blood and Bone

Over the last few months, I’ve been working with Natalie Duke, a talented voice actress, to produce Gods of Blood and Bone in audio. We’re finished, now, and the audiobook is available. For people who like listening to their stories, the audio brings the characters to life in a whole new way, and I’m very pleased with it. I’ve read Gods of Blood and Bone probably over a dozen times, and since I wrote it before that, by now the last think I want to do is read the 500-page book once again. When...

Gods of Myth and Midnight First Draft Complete

As the title of this post says, I’ve finished the first draft of GOMM, and I’m pretty excited about it. I stayed up till 4 o’clock in the morning a few days ago finishing and then printing out the manuscript. Here it is.

I get a sense of satisfaction seeing the physical manifestation of all the hundreds of hours of work I’ve put into the book so far, especially since the stack of paper is pleasingly hefty.

I’ve still got a few hundred hours more work to do in Revision, and then more again to...

Gods of Rust and Ruin Paperbacks

I’ve had a few questions about the paperbacks for Gods of Rust and Ruin, so I just wanted to—belatedly—do a quick post to let you all know that they are available on Amazon. I announced it to the mailing list, then got busy writing, and forgot to post it to the blog as well. I got a couple boxes of books in, and took a picture of some on my desk.

I’ll be doing signed giveaways of these in the next few months, probably after I’ve finished the first draft of Book 3, Gods of Myth and Midnight....

Seeds of Chaos Book 3: Gods of Myth and Midnight

First, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who did an advance read, purchased, or reviewed Gods of Rust and Ruin. The launch did quite well, and the series managed to break through the top 2,000 books in the Amazon kindle bookstore, and reach the hands of a lot of enthusiastic readers. This is literally all thanks to you guys, my readers.

For those of you interested in a paperback of GORR, it’s on its way. Literally, the final proof from the printer is in the mail coming my way now, and as...

Gods of Rust and Ruin is Available

Thank you to everyone who’s been waiting so eagerly for the second book in the series. It’s available now in ebook format, and free through Kindle Unlimited. I hope you enjoy it!

Cover Reveal: Gods of Rust and Ruin

My name is Eve Redding. They call me the godkiller.

I was dying. Slowly being destroyed by the power I had worked so hard to obtain. My team and I were trapped within NIX’s web of lies and manipulation, and even my allies couldn’t be trusted.

Deep below, the alien called out to me like a beacon, and I decided to forge an alliance. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This cover took me many hours to make, but I’m pretty pleased with it. The full piece is much bigger, which means...

Release Date: Gods of Rust and Ruin

August 4, 2017.

It will be available in the Amazon store on that date. If you want a reminder when it comes out, sign up to my newsletter.

In other news, the poster giveaway is over. Congratulations to the winners! I’ll be doing more giveaways of a similar nature, so if you didn’t win this time around, don’t despair.

This is just a quick post for now, but I’ll be back on August 1st with the cover reveal.

Gods of Blood and Bone Poster Giveaway

Last week, the people on my newsletter got a chance to get one of these posters. They get first chance at things like this, but I did save a couple for the rest of you. I’m giving away two more Gods of Blood and Bone posters, as a thank you to everyone who’s been waiting so long for Seeds of Chaos Book II: Gods of Rust and Ruin.

They’re printed on beautiful metallic paper, and they almost shimmer in the light. They are 10 inches tall, and 23 inches wide.

I’ll be giving them away randomly to...
