And the opening of Kindle Vella means that my latest story is also available (Well at least the first 15 chapters…excuse me, episodes). Presenting: Destiny: Cloud Fist.

This is a story I’ve been writing off and on for years, and I’m excited to make it available on Amazon’s latest platform exclusively…for now. There will be regular episodes added, I’m planning on one or two per week depending on demand.

You can find the story by searching for S. C. Mitchell in the Kindle app or by going online here: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/product/B095XKSZ6Q

Legacy of Lightning and Dance of Revelation are now live in both Kindle and paperback formats. And coming soon in Audio featuring the golden tones of Larry Gorman.

Legacy of Lightning

Can the new King of Olympus defend his shattered realm against overwhelming forces?

Stavros, the son of Zeus and Hera, inherited the throne of Olympus, but does that really matter? Mount Olympus lays in ruins, and the Greek gods are few and scattered. Still, Stavros has pledged to help end the war that took everything from his people.

Working with the Asgaardian gods, Stavros meets the powerful sorceress, Hilde. When the alliance of evil gods kidnaps Odin in an attempt to steal the Odin Force, Stavros and Hilde are thrown into the midst of a conflict that threatens to bring the mortal realm to the edge of Armageddon.

Dance of Revelation

Can a magical dance reveal the next Queen of Asgaard?

When the fertility goddess, Astrid, performs the Dance of Revelation for King Magni, he encounters something he doesn’t understand and refuses to accept. Now haunted by the vision and feelings that overpower him, he fights an internal battle while dark elves threaten the gates of Asgaard.

By the time Astrid understands what happened during the dance, the King’s wrath has already rained down on her. How can she explain what happened to him, if he won’t let her near?

I hope you enjoy these new additions to the Heavenly War saga.

Valentines Day Canceled – canceled

Hello readers and happy Valentines day (tomorrow).

This is the time of year I usually would be talking about the Soul Mate Valentines Day collection – My Sexy Valentine that featured my story, Valentines Day Canceled.

It was a great collection of stories that I loved contributing to. I say was, because it’s now gone, out of print, with only a few used paperbacks available on Amazon.

The contracted period for my story came up in January, and Soul Mate decided not to renew the book, so i got my rights back.

But, this is good news because the story I wrote was a part of my Heavenly Wars series that was sometimes hard to find for my readers, and with the rights back, I’ve had the opportunity to re-edit and update the story, as I’ve been doing with all my Heavenly wars books.

And I’m happy to announce that the story, now renamed The Dance Of Revelation will be included as a bonus feature in the upcoming 3rd book in the series, Legacy of Lightning.

Legacy of Lightning

By S. C. Mitchell

Book 3 in the Heavenly Wars series where mythic gods wage war for the future of our world.

The blood of Zeus ran through his veins, but does he have what it takes to wield Zeus’ lightning bolt.

Stavros, the son of Zeus and Hera, inherited his father’s lightning bolt powers. Yes, theoretically, he also inherited the throne of Olympus, but does that really matter? Mount Olympus lays in ruins, and the Greek gods are few and scattered. Still, he pledges to help end the war that took everything from his people.

Working with the Asgaardian gods, Stavros meets Hilde, a powerful sorceress. When the Alliance of Evil Gods kidnaps Odin, attempting to steal the Odin Force for Loki, Stavros and Hilde are thrown into a roller-coaster ride adventure filled with danger, suspense, and romance.

This book also contains the bonus feature: Dance of Revelation.

There’s never been a better time to join Xi Force.

This weekend you can get the Kindle version of Z-Bot for free. So if you haven’t joined the Xi Force team, here’s your chance.

Z-Bot is the first book of my award-winning Xi Force series, and a great introduction to a fantastic world of sexy superheroes and sinister villains.

Chris Johnson never really started living until he died. Orphaned, fostered, and drifting through life, the twenty-seven-year-old programmer had no family, little money, and few friends. But he also had no enemies. So, who the hell killed him? After an experimental process brings him back from the dead as a zombiebot, he gets the chance to find out.

Heather Logan’s latest process uses nanobots to reanimate a corpse. Half robot, half something raised from the dead, Chris is her first successful resuscitation. Questions abound. What is it? Is it truly alive, a machine, or some kind of zombie-hybrid?

But someone wants to steal Heather’s secret process and put her out of the picture permanently. Chris, with his new superpowers, is the only thing standing between Heather and an assassin’s bullet. Is he enough of a hero to save her?

Check out the entire Xi Force series and pick up your free book here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MPBQ3J4

A free book, a thank you, and a favor.

Hello readers,

I’m beginning to believe that I have a few fans out there—some people who really like my work and look forward to the books I write. I’ve received some great reviews, a few awards, and have quite a few people who have signed up to receive my newsletter. To all of you, I want to say a big:

Thank You!

It’s been a fun, if bumpy, journey so far, and I’m looking forward to so much more in the future. Thank you for coming along on this ride.

I hope you are all aware of the always-free book I have made available in every available eBook format. Yes, Awakening, the first book in my newly revamped Demon Gate Chronicles series is now and forever free. If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, go to: https://books2read.com/u/3Jj0kX

That link should take you to the book in your favorite online store.

Some of you may have already read this book (the earlier version) back when it was titled: There’s No Such Thing As Werewolves. While the story remains essentially the same in the new version, there have been some changes. Most notably, the explicit sex has been removed to make the book more “teen-friendly” and the setting has changed. The book, and the series, is now set in and around the city of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. If you live in this area, you may even recognize some of the settings.

Anyway, if you are one of my “fans,” I’d like to take this moment to thank you. I would love to know how you found me. Feel free to leave a comment below. I’d love to hear from you.

A favor, please?

I’d also like to ask a favor. Because Awakening is such a drastic rewriting of There’s No Such Thing As Werewolves, I’ve lost all the reviews I had on that book. In order to properly promote this new book, most promotional sites want to see at least ten reviews. If you’ve read the book, even if it’s the previous version, would you be so kind as to leave a review on Amazon? (Remember, you don’t have to have purchased the book from Amazon to post a review.)

The link to the book on Amazon is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YK2RV3Q/

I would be so thankful if you did.

Oh, and one more thing…

I’ve reduced the price on book 2 of the series, if you are interested in continuing the series.

Alliance, formerly The Forsaken Templar, is now just $1.99.

You can get your copy here: https://books2read.com/u/3nWOox

Thanks, and have a great holiday season.

Steve
