The Weirkey Chronicles 1: Soulhome released!
My newest series is launching today! Please check it out here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P7TYG41/
Description: The Nine Worlds span dimensions filled with wonder and adventure, but for Theo they mean bitter tragedy. For years he resented the betrayal that killed his friends, sent him back to Earth, and made him question everything he thought he knew.
But now, after a lifetime of struggle, he's found a way back to the Nine Worlds. An old man reborn in a new body, he has a second chance to rebuild what he lost and unravel a mystery that spans dimensions.Though Theo arrives in the safe world of Tatian, demons are crawling from the darkness between realms and he isn't the only inter-dimensional traveler. There's no time to carefully prepare himself: he needs to find allies among the lost just to survive long enough to make use of what he knows.

Street Cultivation 3 Released!
The third book is out! I think by the third book in the series, you know whether or not you're interested, so I'll get straight to the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NFJWWBF
Description:
In the modern world, qi is money.
The days of traveling martial artists and mountaintop masters are over. Power is controlled by corporations, modernized martial arts sects, and governments. Those at the bottom of society struggle as second class citizens in a world in which power is a commodity.
Rick has attempted to separate himself from the world of cutthroat killers, but is drawn in by a chance to participate in a contest at the highest levels. The resulting trials will take him across the world against many different opponents, but he knows that his sponsors ultimately just want to use him for their own profit. In the end, he'll need to decide what it is that he really wants...
Meanwhile, if you want to check out the work of an author friend, take a look at JC Kang's rereleased book with a fancy new cover: https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B08K7LKHJ3/

Audiobooks and Serials!
First up... for those who haven't been following along, Podium picked up The Brightest Shadow and the audiobook is coming soon! Feel free to check it out via this country-specific link, or directly at Audible.com.
They also created this animated cover, which I certainly couldn't have made! At 33+ hours, I think TBS is a good value for your Audible credit, so please take a look if you're interested. There will be more about it on the release date, of course. ^-^
Second, I have a new serialized story! Like Street Cultivation, it's available on Patreon, but also for free here:
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35660/the-weirkey-chronicles
The response has been positive so far, with a solid average rating and trending on the front page. Please take a look if you're interested in getting some of my work for free, but you can expect the finished book to come to Amazon like all of my stories. Look forward to it!

Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086Q8ZGTDOfficial Description:

New Game Minus: Complete Set
New Game Minus was the first series I published as Sarah Lin, and now it's back for the lowest price ever:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085LMS2MS/
That boxset is the entire trilogy, plus a bonus never-before-scene chapter from Izzy's POV! It takes place between the second and third books, but I also wrote it as one more moment between the characters of this trilogy. If you enjoyed NGM, please check out this definitive edition!
Official Description:
All three books of the trilogy in one volume, plus a brand new chapter bridging the books!
Bloodwraith thought of himself as an effective villain, until a single adventurer destroyed his entire lair. With his last breath, he switched bodies with the adventurer and discovered that his world was built on lies. Alien beings from another dimension were using his world as a game... and now he was one of them.
The problem is, Bloodwraith has no experience being an adventurer. He was a mage, but his new body is only good at hitting things. He relied on undead minions, but now he has no choice but to depend on other people. And worst of all, strange boxes are constantly appearing in his vision, describing the world in unfamiliar, nonsensical terms.
Taking over the world is off the table, because the alien gods might be watching. To survive, Bloodwraith will need to learn the truth about himself and his world. And that means acting like an adventurer, at least for now.

The Brightest Shadow!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0856ZMG9Z/
Official Description:
The arrival of the Hero was worse than anyone could have imagined.
To take her place as a full warrior of her tribe, Tani must travel across the vast grasslands of the Chorhan Expanse. But she has her sights set higher than a mere ritual journey: she wants to uncover a solution to the impending war that threatens her people. Her world has never been peaceful, torn between the many cultures that meet on the Chorhan Expanse, but the greatest threat is an expansionist army of monstrous non-humans who call themselves the mansthein.
Legends tell of monsters who will attempt to conquer the world, but are the mansthein those monsters? Tani believes that peace may be possible, but there are others on both sides who believe in the legends with zealous devotion. All around her, warriors have their eyes on a glorious victory with no concern for the piles of bodies they'll create on the way.
Tani will be joined by a killer pretending to be a healer, a mansthein commander struggling with his orders, a thief who pawned her heart of gold, and a strategist exiled from a foreign land.
But none of them are the Hero. It doesn't matter how many shades of gray might exist, some people see only in black and white. And the terrifying truth is that the stories they tell might not be just legends.
