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/

Sign up is on that front page, just a short scroll down.

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:

Amazon lost my reviews so you get another free book.

Hi readers,

Story time: A while ago, I received the rights back for my Hearts in Orbit books. With a few edits, I republished them into the new Destiny’s Legacy series. They retained their titles which allowed me to request that the reviews be transferred to the new editions of the books. Everything worked well for Pirates of the Dark Nebula and Captives of the Kratzen, but something glitched on Amazon and all The Blarmling Dilemma reviews disappeared, (57 of them). These past few months I’ve been working with Amazon but they’ve concluded that they can not get those reviews back. Now it’s a hard fact that reviews, really help an author to promote their books. So without those reviews, it will make it harder for me to promote the book.

It’s heartbreaking, but I’m not letting it get me down. If you were one of the readers that reviewed it before, I’m asking you to repost your review here: https://books2read.com/u/47gMNA

I’m also putting The Blarmling Dilemma up for free now through Nov. 29th with hopes of garnering a few reviews. Click here to get your free Kindle copy. 

And if you like Science Fiction and Romance, you might enjoy some of these sexy reads:

Many, like The Blarmling Dilemma, are on sale and free to read on Kindle Unlimited. Check them out here: https://books.bookfunnel.com/outofthisworld-nov/cwtnfgdg78

Thanks and happy reading,

Amulet of the Fallen God is Free this weekend!

I’ve put Amulet of the Fallen God up for Free on Kindle this weekend through Tuesday, Nov. 22nd.

Amulet of the Fallen God

An epic fantasy tale set in a world of wizards, warriors, elves, and dragons.

When an ancient artifact falls into the hands of a young, inexperienced sorceress, Allsa, a battle-priestess of Thon, 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.

Allsa can only wonder at the circumstances that made her the leader of this 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.

Amulet of the Fallen God is an epic fantasy novel in the tradition of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
