Last chance to get Heavenly War books in their original forms.
Today I received my rights back for Son of Thunder and Daughter of Darkness. Very soon, Soul mate publishing will be taking these books off Amazon, but you still have time to pick them up in their original published versions if you’d like.
While they last you can get Son of Thunder and Daughter of Darkness here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753FXJFT
But the war is far from over…
In the next few months I will be editing these two books, bringing them more in line with my new writing style – more urban fantasy, less romance. And there will be more books coming out in the series.
Stay Tuned.

Amulet of the Fallen God coming Tuesday
Yes, Amulet of the Fallen God will be releasing on Tuesday in Kindle format and paperback. And it’s now up HERE for pre-order.
Amulet of the Fallen God
By S. C. Mitchell
Allsa, battle-priestess of Thon, can only wonder at the circumstances that made her the leader of a rag-tag band of adventurers. But the old Human King is dead and the Elven King is mad, and it’s up to her and her stalwart group to save the northlands from the impending Zarrum invasion.
When an ancient artifact falls into the hands of a young, inexperienced sorceress, Allsa finds herself shepherding the young girl through a dangerous land, to find an ancient wizard from a tale she doesn’t even believe is true. Luckily, she has the help of a grumpy old dwarf, an obnoxious mercenary, an erudite elven wizard, and a new-wave minstrel.
Amulet of the Fallen God is an epic fantasy novel in the tradition of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
***Cool Update!!!***
Amazon surprised me and has the paperback up for sale right now.

Cover Reveal: Amulet of the Fallen God
I am thrilled to bring you the cover reveal for the soon-to-be-released epic fantasy novel, Amulet of the Fallen God. This is a book I’ve been working on for over two decades and based in a world I created over forty years ago. This is the first in what I hope will be many novels set in the world of Harth. There are so many stories to tell.
But let’s get to that cover reveal:

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…
So, it’s been a while since I posted. This is by design. Things are changing and I needed a break to retool and recharge. But, I am alive and working on some big changes.
1. The End of Romance.
I’ve never gotten the traction I was looking for in the romance genre and now, with the implosion of the Romance Writers of America, it feels like the right time to go back to my Science Fiction and Fantasy roots. The lackluster release of Triptych had me thinking this way anyway, so for right now, Xi Force and all my other Romance series are on hold.
2. The Demon Gate Chronicles.
[image error]
Okay, everything old is new again. This is my transition series. Three Romance novellas I wrote years ago as the Demons Rising Series (Currently out of print forever). The stories have been tweaked, the explicit sex scenes have been shoved behind closed doors, and the Romance elements toned down. Instead I’ve opted for a somewhat darker toned urban fantasy feel to the series. New titles, new covers, and new genres. And there will be new books coming out in the series to extend the story. If you’re interested, links to these books are in the sidebar. —>
3. Reinventing myself.
Did you note the new graphic at the top of the page? That’s the new me. A little darker, a little more mysterious. We will still be adventuring in fantastic realms, but with a little less romance and a little more adventure. You’ll also see the new look on my Facebook and Twitter pages. And over the next few weeks I will also be updating my web site.
4. A hint toward the future.
Very soon I will be announcing a new release, the first brand new novel to kick off my transition to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre. Can you say Epic Fantasy?
Adventure on!

A demon invasion…
Templar Knight Geoffrey le Court has been stuck in purgatory for over seven hundred years. Forsaken and forgotten until the sorcerer, Nathan Gray, releases him into the modern world. Now he must adjust to modern technology, as he continues the quest he started so many centuries before.

The Arcanists and the Templars hate each other. They’ve been at war for thousands of years. There is no way Kelly would ever work with Geoffrey.
At the center of their war is the Demon Gate. Created in Atlantis at the dawn of recorded time, this portal to another dimension is at the heart of humanity’s worst problems. Only by working together can Geoffrey and Kelly hope to destroy the Demon Gate. But can they put aside their differences in time to stop a flood of demons poised to invade our world?
*This book is a re-edit of a previously published book by the name The Forsaken Templar. The book has been updated and some elements changed, but the story is essentially the same.

Everything old is new again…
My first series is now my latest. Today is release day for Awakening – Demon Gate Chronicles: Book 1.
Awakening
Demon Gate Chronicles: Book 1
Demons among us…
Thousands of years ago, a portal opened between Earth and the demon dimension of Ballor. Since that time, demons have been crossing over to hide among us cloaked in illusion.
Jack Hughes is cursed. Each full moon, his body is taken over by a demonic force. He’s learned to cope by locking himself in a cell each night to keep the demon from breaking free. It’s a dark secret he’s not willing to share with anyone, until one night when the demon breaks out.
Sorceress Anna Brown is one of the leading experts on demons for the Arcanists. She knows Jack’s secret and how to help him, if he’ll let her. The local demons are after Anna. She has a power they want to control. Does she have enough magic to save Jack and keep the local Demon Lord at bay?
