Continue Listening to the Exile Adventure with the Refuge Audiobook, Now Available

Refuge, book 2 in the Exile series, is now available in audiobook format on Audible. Podium Publishing worked hard to produce this one, which includes the same narrator as Exile, JD Jackson.

In case you were waiting for audio, here is the cover copy:

A dying world , shattered by a broken machine

A desperate flight , their only hope for refuge

A robotic race , ally and destroyer alike

The Republic of Exilium has grown in strength and confidence at the far end of the galaxy from the rest of mankind, sending out scout ships to survey the worlds around them as they try to learn more about the mysterious Construction Matrix AIs.

Finding one of the genocidal rogues of that mysterious “race” in the process of destroying an inhabited world, Captain Octavio Catalan takes his ship into a desperate battle. He is victorious—but he is too late. The world of the strange aliens he has encountered is doomed.

The distant Republic can barely help, but the honor of their leaders will not permit them to stand idly by. Ships and crews are set into motion to commence a desperate evacuation of their newfound friends, and debts with the strange Matrices are called in.

One branch of Matrices destroyed the planet. Another may well save it—but the AIs have their own agenda and the price they ask may be beyond the Republic and its new allies…

If you’re new to the Exile series but want to see what it is about, you can stream the audio version of the prequel novella, Ashen Stars, for free.

Avalon Trilogy, the first Castle Federation Box Set, is Now Available

If you’ve been waiting to dig into the Castle Federation series, now is the time to start! We have compiled the first three books into the Avalon Trilogy, an affordable digital box set. This box set contains Space Carrier Avalon, Stellar Fox, and Battle Group Avalon.

This box set is available on the major ebook retailers including Kindle, Kobo, Google Play, Nook, and Apple Books.

A bygone legend with a washed-up crew

A crack team gathered for one last tour

A cold war that has simmered to its final hour

When the Castle Federation deployed the first starfighters, they revolutionized war and drove the Terran Commonwealth from their space. The first of the carriers for those deadly strike craft was Avalon, a legend that turned the tide of a dozen battles.

That was decades ago. Now Avalon is obsolete, a backwater posting—but still a legend to the Federation and her allies and enemies alike. Wing Commander Kyle Roberts and a cadre of officers are sent aboard the old carrier to take her on a final tour along the frontier.

Aboard, Roberts finds outdated fighters, broken pilots…and key subordinates who just might be traitors. He and the others will get Avalon ready for war once more regardless. Show tour or not, the old enemy has been seen near the border and no matter what, when the call comes, Avalon will answer!

This trilogy contains Space Carrier Avalon, Stellar Fox, and Battle Group Avalon.

Fae, Flames & Fedoras, a fae novella set in the Changeling Blood Universe, is now available in ebook format on its own. Previously, Fae, Flames & Fedoras was only available in the Spaceships & Spellcasters collection.

This novella is widely available at all major ebook retailers, including Kindle, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, and Nook.

This novella brings one of the fan favourite fae to the forefront, Talus!

In the sewer-building projects of 1940s New York City, something ancient and powerful has been awoken. With half a dozen mortal workers dead, the Fae Courts of the city find themselves forced to action despite their desperate lack of manpower.

Their call for aid brings six young Fae to the city, among them the Seelie Noble Talus, son of Korinth. New to the city and expendable, they are tasked with finding the creature underneath the city.

The youths are assured that nothing in the world can stand against six Fae Nobles.

On the other hand, nothing supernatural should have been sleeping under New York City…

Jason Kilkenny has learned his full heritage and the nature of the bloodline that runs in his veins. One quarter mortal, he is also the child of a Power, the Horned King of the Wild Hunt of the Fae.

But his father is dead, murdered in a fae civil war that ended before Jason was born. It ended because of a powerful spell the Horned King cast, trading his life to deny the Masked Lords the weapon they needed to kill the Fae Powers.

Now, Jason gathers allies and resources in his new home of Calgary. The Fae Masked Lords are hunting him, but he has what they want and they have to come to him. The Fae Powers have prepared a trap for their long-hidden enemies, with Jason as both bait and ambush.It’s a clever plan—but no plan survives contact with the enemy!

From one Court, two are born……

as a new Lord is crowned in glory

But a murderer risks all their secrets……

bringing shadows that could burn everything down

Jason Kilkenny is a quarter-human Vassal of the Queen of the Fae and the neutral arbiter of supernatural affairs around the Fae Court in the Canadian city of Calgary. He has spent half a year building relationships with the existing power structure—but all of that is thrown into chaos when the Fae leadership dictates that Calgary’s Court split into Seelie and Unseelie factions. Backed by the highest authority, the new Lord Andrell is there to build an Unseelie Court from nothing, and he will brook no interference, no challenges.

Meanwhile, a rogue Fae launches a vicious slaughter at Calgary’s largest public event, and Jason is dragged into an investigation and pursuit of a monster far more powerful than he is. The rogue’s Unseelie heritage brings him into conflict with Lord Andrell, and the city’s peace is threatened.

One wrong step could unleash civil war between the new Courts and Jason’s own secrets could lead to lighting the embers of a civil war amongst all Fae—embers that have slumbered since before his birth.

If only he knew what those secrets were…

 

Book 3, Noble’s Honor, will be released wide on September 24th and is available for preorder now.

A ragged newcomer… with a secret even he doesn’t know.

A backwater city… with a countdown to an explosion no one is expecting.

A secret Covenant… and a conspiracy to break it to pieces.

Jason Kilkenny is a new arrival in the Canadian city of Calgary. Unlike most newcomers, Jason isn’t looking for a job in oil and gas: he’s a half-fae changeling that wants to get away from the politics of the inhuman races.

He soon learns that despite being a supernatural backwater, the city is run by a near-godlike Wizard—and the shadows are full of unseen dangers. Jason’s here to hide, but he finds himself called to service by Calgary’s understaffed Fae Court.

As supernatural politics collide in his new home, Jason’s plan to keep his head down is shattered and he finds himself testing the limits of his meager gifts. He cannot run, he cannot hide…and if he loses, he loses everything.

Book 2, Hunter’s Oath, and book 3, Noble’s Honor, will be released wide on September 10th and September 24th, respectively.
