The Instrument of Treachery

Posted on January 10, 2023 by scmitchell

I’ve finally gotten back to my Demon Gate Chronicles, and I’m happy to announce that book 4, The Instrument Of Treachery is coming along nicely. Nice enough that I’ve begun to publish the first chapters on Kindle Vella.

Here’s the cover:

The Instrument of Treachery

Archanist Kim Wakefield finds herself 3,000 years in the past on the doomed island of Atlantis. She knows the demons are about to attack. She knows the island is about to sink. And there is nothing she can do about it. Does she have what it takes to survive and get back to her own time?

Merc’vel Hove is an Atlantean council member and budding sorcerer who is given a divine task of building a gateway to another dimension by his goddess, Gaia. But the gateway opens into the demon dimension of Ballor and allows demons into our world. Is he the Instrument of Treachery that has doomed they whole world?

The Instrument of Treachery is the fourth book in the Demons Gate Chronicles. It’s a tale of love, tragedy, and triumph in a very dangerous world.

The first 3 chapters are up on Kindle Vella now, free to read at: https://www.amazon.com/The-Instrument-of-Treachery/dp/B0BRNYZTWT/

A 4th chapter will be up later today, and there will be a new chapter every Tuesday until the book is done.

Check it out.

Read on,

Demon’s Gate Update.

Posted on October 1, 2021 by scmitchell

I’m the first to admit when I make a mistake…well, maybe not the first...but eventually I concede…most of the time.

Anyway, I thought the reboot of my Demons Gate series would be on track, but I realize now that it probably wasn’t. the covers were too ‘artsy’ and the names too obscure…and sales fell flat.

So, we’re going back to the original titles for the books and I’ve commissioned some new covers.

So, Awakening, Alliance, and Annihilation are now all out-of-print. The new books are the same stories, just repackaged.

And if you haven’t read these stories yet, you can find them here:

There’s No Such Thing as Werewolves – https://books2read.com/u/mYGWQx

The Forsaken Templar – https://books2read.com/u/b6vgWM

Seeds of Immortality – https://books2read.com/u/mvo0wz

Thanks,

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

Posted on December 15, 2020 by scmitchell

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.

Demon Gate Chronicles: Book 2

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.

Kelly Grant is a powerful Arcanist sorceress. She has vital information Geoffrey needs to complete his quest and liberate his soul. There’s only one slight problem. 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…

Posted on November 29, 2019 by scmitchell

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?

A World Re-Imagined

Posted on November 11, 2019 by scmitchell

They’re gone, as promised.

My old Demons Rising series is no longer available to make way for my new series, The Demon Gate Chronicles.

In this new series I took each book, tore it apart, and added, changed, and re-edited and I’m happy to announce that the first book will be out on November 28. (Yes, less than 3 weeks.)

Introducing: Awakening.

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.
