I’ve recently been working on my Heavenly War series, and while all the stories have remained the same, everything else about them has been upgraded.

First off, the new covers:

I am so happy with this new cover set, designed by my wife. I think they are on brand for the books, and perfect to help boost sales.

But I’m not done yet.

The interiors have been upgraded with new graphics and a sneak peek at the next book in the series:

Watch this space for when they become available.

Instrument of Treachery is finished!

Hi readers,

If you’ve been following the weekly chapters I’ve been dropping on Kindle Vella for Instrument of Treachery, you know we’re approaching the end point. Well today I finally reached “The End.”

Of course, what’s been posted on Vella is the raw, unedited story, so there have been and will be some revisions during the edit process, but for the most part, I’m happy with the story..

So, what’s next?

First off, you will see the remaining chapters dropping more often, probably one every other day or so, as I enter the editing process in full on the project. Once all chapters are posted, I will close the project on Vella, which means I must wait 30 days before publishing the book. Expect the full book in eBook and paperback formats sometime in late June or early July.

To help promote the series, I’m having the Demon Gate Chronicles series completely recovered. Stay tuned for the reveal of these gorgeous new covers.

I’m also planning on putting together some special offerings to people who have signed up for my newsletter. Watch your email boxes.

And if you’re not signed up yet, head on over to my website at:https://scmitchellauthor.com/

New Release: Between Venus and Mars

I’m happy to announce the release of Between Venus and Mars, the 4th book in my Destiny’s Legacy series:

Between Venus and Mars.

A romantic science fiction adventure…with mutant kangaroos.

Once Upon a Galaxy…

Zana Starchild is on a mission to restore her tribe’s livestock and save herself from one more meal of kelp. Sure, it’s technically illegal to visit Old Earth, but to a rim rat like Zana, galactic laws are really just guidelines. Her wrecked starship just means she’ll need to use her backup plan to get off the abandoned world, an old Earth legend her uncle passed down to her.

Pulled across the galaxy from his relaxing shower to Old Earth via an ancient teleporter, Galactic Marshall Kyle Kepler finds himself naked and marooned with a quirky rim rat. Zana’s broken more laws than Kyle can count, and he plans to arrest her, just as soon as he can find transport off the planet and a pair of pants.

A junk heap of a starship, an awkward meeting, and a roving gang of mutant kangaroos are just the beginning of a rollicking intergalactic journey filled with laughs, love, and adventure.

Between Venus and Mars is available in paperback and Kindle eBook here:
