Pleased to announce the audiobook release of Skywave and UMO
I am pleased to announce today’s release of Skywave and UMO in audiobook format. Both books from my Rorschach Explorer Missions scifi series are initially available through Audible.com, Amazon.com and iTunes.
Magwave, another book in the series, will soon follow. I’m in the midst of proofing the final production this week. From there, Magwave will be in Audible’s quality review process for a few weeks before it is released (Audible apparently has quite a backlog of audiobooks in their quality review queue).
The narrator of all three books is Chris Abernathy. I chose Chris for his engaging voice, relaxed style, experience narrating scifi stories and his ability to bring written words and characters to life. If you are an audiobook fan, I hope you will consider listening to the sample snippets for each book available on each of the retailers. I’ve embedded links to Skywave’s and UMO’s audiobook pages on Amazon in the opening paragraph of this message.
This news will undoubtedly raise questions about when audio versions of the Anlon Cully series will be available. Given what I learned from the production process of the Rorschach series, I’d say to look for audio versions of the Anlon Cully series in the mid-to-late fall. I will likely choose a different narrator so as to create a distinctive voice for each series and I know high quality narrators like Chris are often booked months in advance.
Lastly, I have a new novel coming out in mid-to-late August! It’s a futuristic thriller set in the year 2137. The book is titled The GODD Chip.
As is the case with all of my stories, this cautionary tale about the perils of messing around with our DNA is filled with lots of twists and plenty of treachery. Plus, this one has androids! Some of them I hope you will come to love as characters

Pleased to announce the release of Priestess of Paracas
Hello friends and fans,
I am pleased to announce the official release of my latest novel, Priestess of Paracas, Book 4 in my archaeology adventure series, the Anlon Cully Chronicles!
I should mention that even though Priestess of Paracas
is the fourth book in the series, I wrote it as a stand-alone mystery with all
the necessary background from Books 1-3. So, if it has been a while since you
read Book 3, or you are a new reader to the series, you’ll be able to enjoy the
story just as much as those who’ve recently read the earlier books.
Priestess of Paracas is available as an eBook in Amazon’s Kindle format and is available to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. It is also available in paperback and hardcover on Amazon and other major online book retailers.
Finally, to celebrate the release of Priestess of Paracas, I am discounting Books 1 and 2 in the Anlon Cully series, Shadows of the Stone Benders and Race for the Flash Stone, to $0.99 through December 22. So, if you’re new to the series, here’s an excellent chance to dive in right at the beginning of the series and receive a bargain at the same time!
To all readers, I wish you a happy holiday season and an
awesome New Year!
Warmest Regards,
K. Patrick Donoghue

Skywave Kindle edition on sale for $0.99 July 26-31
Hello friends and fans! Just a reminder if you missed my earlier post from a couple of weeks ago. The Kindle edition of Skywave goes on sale tonight (shortly after midnight ET) for $0.99 (sale ends at the end of the day on July 31, the same day that my new book, Magwave, is released!). Pass the word to readers who like science fiction with a thriller type feel. And as another reminder for fans of the Anlon Cully series, three characters from the series (Anlon, Pebbles and Antonio) make cameo appearances in 2 chapters of Skywave and four characters (Anlon, Pebbles, Jennifer and Antonio) make lengthy appearances in 7 chapters of Magwave. So if you’re waiting impatiently for me to finish writing Priestess of Paracas, there’s a short-term fix days ahead.
