City in the Sky Refreshed Edition Now Available
We’ve re-released one of Glynn’s first books, the fantasy epic, City in the Sky. This title, which was originally released in 2015, has been re-edited and given a cover refresh. It’s also available as an audiobook for the first time, exclusively on Audible.
If you received a free copy in the last email or you read the previous edition and enjoyed it, we’d really appreciate a review. When we replaced the old edition with this one, we lost the old reviews and ratings. Those two things really help with title visibility and help keep Glynn writing.
Get City in the Sky on Amazon now!

City in the Sky Now Available for Preorder (and on Audiobook for the first time!)
Glynn published his swashbuckling, magical tall ship fantasy book City in the Sky in 2015. Now we’re releasing a revised edition and collaborating with Podium Audio to bring you the audiobook for the first time on May 31.
Click here to preorder the newly-edited edition, or click here to preorder the audiobook.
Here’s more about the book:
“Killing a man isn’t an easy thing to live with, no matter the cause.”
Erik Tarverro is a skilled blacksmith, a better swordsman—and hated for his mixed aeradi parentage. Denied mastery of his craft in the human city he grew up in, he accepts a risky contract from a dangerous stranger.
With new enemies at his heels, he leaps at the chance to join his father’s people in the sky city of Newport. Despite his human blood, he finds his place among the aeradi: heir to an ancient noble family.
His duty leads him to sailing the skies and learning what it means to lead soldiers. But Erik’s enemies will have blood, and the peace between his people and the Draconan dragon riders is like a powder keg. All it would take is one spark—and dragons will fly on his newfound city in the sky.

Huntress, Book 5 in Scattered Stars: Conviction, Available Now
Admiral Kira Demirici is back. She has a new carrier, Huntress, and a new contract with the pacifist system of Samuels.
But the Equilibrium Institute is still out there, pulling strings behind the scenes to bring systems to heel. Kira suspects her old enemies may be behind the conflict with their neighbouring system that prompted Samuels to hire Memorial Force in the first place.
Get Huntress, Scattered Stars: Conviction Book 5, now! Click here for the paperback and here for the audiobook.
Here’s more about the book:
A peaceful world in the crosshairs
A rising threat armed by an old foe
A call to arms she can’t ignore…
Admiral Kira Demirci lost the coin toss with her second-in-command and was supposed to be taking a holiday. That meant waiting in the Redward System while Memorial Force’s new carrier Huntress was commissioned and turned over to the mercenary space fleet.
But when a stranger arrives looking to hire Memorial Force to protect her homeworld, Kira finds money, boredom and altruism combining to bring her into action. The majority of her fleet is elsewhere, but she has two heavy warships, including Huntress. More than enough to protect the pacifist system of Samuels from their neighbors.
Those neighbors were armed by Kira’s old foes in the Brisingr System, and she smells the hand of the Equilibrium Institute behind the scheme. A chance to protect the innocent and frustrate two old foes at once is hard to turn down—and even if things go wrong, the rest of her fleet is on their way.
She’s planned for everything. Hasn’t she?

Beyond the Eyes of Mars, Book 12 in Starship’s Mage, Available Now
The Mage-Queen of Mars has charged Roslyn Chambers and her ship, Voice of the Forgotten, to bring the remnants of the Republic of Faith and Reason to justice. With only her crew and a small task force to back her up, she starts the hunt for the First Legion.
Fortunately, Roslyn and the Protectorate have an unexpected ally: a victim of the Republic’s horrific Promethean project.Get Beyond the Eyes of Mars, Starship’s Mage Book 12, now! Click here for the paperback and click here for the audiobook.
Here’s more about the book:
Beyond the borders of the Protectorate
Beyond the eyes of the Royal Martian Navy
Beyond the reach of the Mage-Queen
Innocents cry out for help—and Mars will answer! When the Royal Martian Navy moved against reports of piracy in the Fringe Systems, the last thing Mage-Commander Roslyn Chambers expected was to find was a malignant remnant of the defeated Republic of Faith and Reason.
Now the Royal Martian Navy knows their enemy and their Mage-Queen has charged them to bring the First Legion, conquerors of the hidden colonies beyond the Fringe, to justice. The Legion knows the RMN’s tricks, though, and has cleverly concealed their tracks.
As Chambers and the spy Kelly Lamonte sweep distant stars for the trail of their enemies, the fleets of Mars gather behind them—but the fate of millions may lie in the hands of a woman none of them have ever met.
A woman the Republic already killed.
