Dancing with Destruction is out today from Baen Books!

Surprise! We’ve got a new short story out, this time in a sci-fi anthology! 😄

Dancing with Destruction comes from Editor Jason Cordova at Baen Books, and has a super fun origin story.

Basically, cover art was commissioned for another of Baen‘s books … but the resulting illustration ended up not fitting the vibe the publisher was looking for.

However, it was still a kickass piece of art.

So, Jason presented this art to a handful of authors – ourselves included – and said, “Hey, want to write a short story for an anthology based on this cover?” 😀

Jacob saw this art and immediately said “HECK YES! I already have the perfect Sol Blazers story in mind.” But then he looked at his packed writing schedule. 😬 Then he looked to me and said, “What if we make this a Jacob Holo + Edie Skye collaboration?” 😏

Thus we get “The Joy of the Chase,” an adventure in Jacob’s Sol Blazers universe wherein our underpaid heroes take a simple missing persons job on a deserted jungle habitat … and find it not so deserted at all. In fact, it’s a whole lot hotter than expected. 😈

Also, if you weren’t aware of my love for over-the-top 80s action movies, you will be after this short. Yes, I watched Predator for research. Yes, Jacob had to cut plenty of 80s action movie references, and YES, Jason cut more. 🤣

(This is not the version where Nathan + Aiko chase an acid-bleeding monster through simulated vents made of interwoven jungle branches, but I assure you, it’s still cool.)

Also, if you have no idea what Sol Blazers is, go check it out! It’s basically adventure space opera for people who are mad that Firefly never got a second season, with catgirls, sassy androids, and maybe a lil’ mild cosmic horror. 🤣

Monster Girl Tamer #2 (SERIES FINISHER!) is up for pre-order!

In all the vacation madness and wildly-productive writing of this summer, I totally forgot to post that … Monster Girl Tamer #2 has been up for pre-order for, like, a month. 😅

But if you’re just now finding out about it, that just means you have less time to wait. 😁 It comes out August 14th, 2025!

PRE-ORDER MONSTER GIRL TAMER #2 HERE!

I’m an Isekai Hero! Of Course I’m Fighting a Demon Lord Monster Girl Tamer #2by Edie Skye & H.P. Holo

A thicc cowgirl with a thicker accent. A bookish succubus with an absurd secret. A demon, goblin, and oni girl who’re as chaotic as they are good.And they’re going to defeat a demon lord … how?

It’s been three months since Axel Hunter Radcliff fell through a magic portal into another world of dangerous monsters.

Hailing from a family of Chosen Ones, he’s trained his whole life to be a hero. He just didn’t expect destiny to involve taming monster girls into semi-civilized adventurers. Or training them to form his tactical harem.

Or their giant robots. Or their conspicuous anime tropes. Or the geeky succubus “Sexy Wizard” who transformed them in the first place.

When a new minotaur girl shows up at his hot spring, he realizes the Sexy Wizard needs his help, too. She’s been captured by some of her own creations—but this time there’s a twist. These dragon ladies used to be two of his monster hunting friends, Jaz and Pix.

With all the isekai tropes tied up in his destiny, Axel expected a demon lord. What he didn’t expect was Demon Lord Jaspartina “Jaz” Red and her Demon Lord General Tailer “Pix” Weaver!

And, after a mere three months, he doesn’t have the stats to face his final boss.

Fortunately, his magic power grows with his romantic bonds. And he has a whole harem of devoted monster girls eager to help raise his stats.

WARNING: Monster Girl Tamer is a fun isekai LitRPG fantasy action adventure where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

Blood Knight: Throne of ShadowsBlood Knight #5

Written by Edie Skye

Performed by Jess Trepanier & Daryl Mayfield

Published by Royal Guard Publishing

***

A beautiful angel in love? A devil in need of smiting? A grand destiny to fulfill? Time for this blood knight to save the world!

With the Portal of Gold in their possession and powerful allies at their backs, Clarke and the gorgeous heroines of Broken Fang are poised to strike at the vampires who secretly rule the world. But as Broken Fang’s successes have mounted, so too has the attention they’ve drawn, and the devil Belphegor—mother of all vampires—has dispatched a squad of her most powerful minions to the city of Chester Creek. Their mission? Find whoever’s been causing her so much trouble—

—and slaughter them all.

Clarke faces his greatest challenge yet, but he isn’t about to back down now. He’s a blood knight, a master of blood magic and heir to the greatest vampire slayers in history. He will fight these bloodsuckers to the bitter end, accompanied by his four wives—Emma the succubus, Ixia the witch, Sammy the slime girl, Brooke the werewolf—along with the angel Sandalphon, better known as Ashley Smith.

With their enemies drawing near, Ashley puts forward a plan to defeat Belphegor once and for all. They must locate the Throne of Shadows, the arcane heart of Belphegor’s power, and destroy its evil forever. But the trail to finding the Throne has been cold for twenty years, and the only lead Ashley has is an old ally in hiding.

An ally who just so happens to be a vampire.

Clarke and the lovely ladies of Broken Fang soon find themselves in a race against time. Can they uncover the location of the Throne of Shadows and devise a way to destroy it? Or will Belphegor’s hunters find them first? It’s angel versus devil with the fate of humanity in the balance!

The thrilling, action-packed conclusion to the Blood Knight series has arrived!

WARNING: Blood Knight: Throne of Shadows is a fun urban fantasy adventure where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

🤖 Titan Mage Havoc #1 has started on Patreon!

Hey, y’all! 😄So, you thought you knew  Titan Mage .Magic? ✨ Check.Mechs? 🤖 Check.[ Stuff that rhymes with mechs but that I can’t put in a post ’cause it’ll trigger censorship bots ]? 🔥 Check.

But before Locke and the lovely ladies of the Blue Heron … there was Orion Havoc and the Indigo Gryphon.

Start Titan Mage Havoc #1 on Patreon Here!

Don’t panic! 😆 More Locke is coming.

But halfway through the writing of Titan Mage Ruin, the Indigo Gryphon crew sprang into my head, and they WOULD. NOT. LEAVE. They weren’t even supposed to be in Titan Mage, but they crashed their way in at the end of Titan Mage #2 and they’ve been banging around in my head ever since.

Enough that, if I didn’t give them their own series, they were just going to take over Locke’s. 😆

(Basically I wrote this series so they’d stop holding my brain hostage.)

Titan Mage Havoc is a teensy bit different from mainline Titan Mage. Oh, it’s still got the hot girls and giant robots you know and love, but it’s less harem, more … serial monogamy. Think James Bond and his Bond Girls. We’ll call these the Havoc Girls.

It’s also a love letter to big manly explosive action-adventure. Think Clive Cussler with giant robots, and then apply it to every action-adventure trope.

I’m pumped to finally set it loose into the wild, so if you’re as pumped as me:

🔥Start Titan Mage Havoc and the Frigid Flame on Patreon today!

The Prologue is up and free for everyone to read; subsequent chapters will post to the Mage Engineer($5)+ tiers on Mondays until Blood Knight #5 is finished (We’re currently on Chapter 12 there), at which point Havoc will post twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Now, why read on Patreon when you could just wait for Kindle Unlimited? Well, here’s the thing: I don’t know when it’s coming to Kindle Unlimited. 😮

This year, I’m aiming to time eBook/KU releases simultaneously with audiobook releases. I’m also exploring the possibility of doing limited special edition releases (also simultaneously), which adds to production time … all of which means I won’t have a release date until those ducks are in a row.

Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on special editions? 😀

Let us know, and we hope to see you on Patreon! 🥰
