Mistakes were made…

Just a quick update: Requiem for Poseidon will be going away.

I’ve come to the conclusion that people stop reading my Heavenly War series because the second book is just a short story. I see sales of Son of Thunder, and sales of Requiem for Poseidon, but nobody seems to be reading further in the series. I’ve concluded that, because Poseidon is just a short story, people might be feeling cheated, and not willing to take a chance on the rest of the series. I can’t really blame them.

So, very soon, I will be pulling Requiem for Poseidon from publication. I plan on making the ebook and audio book available for free to my Newsletter group. The paperback will go out of print.

For the full story on Requiem for Poseidon and all the mistakes I made with this book, check out the blog on my website: https://www.scmitchellauthor.com/blog/so-i-screwed-up

The new order for the Heavenly War series will be:

Book 1: Son of Thunder

Book 2: Daughter of Darkness

Book 3: Legacy of Lightning

Book 4 Dance of Revelation

There are three more books planned for the series, but Dance of Revelation brings the story to a satisfying conclusion (for now).

Look for these changes to happen in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Steve

There’s No Such Thing as Werewolves

When the moon is full, Jack changes…and not for the better!

Jack Hughes is cursed. Each full moon, he turns into a blood-crazed, hairy, wolf-headed creature. He’s learned to cope by locking himself in a cell each night to keep the creature from breaking free. It’s a dark secret he’s not willing to share with anyone. Then one moon-bright night, the creature inside him breaks free of its cell.

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. But the local demon lord is after Anna. She has a power he wants to control. Does she have enough magic to save Jack and keep the demons at bay?

I’ve recently been working on my Heavenly War series, and while all the stories have remained the same, everything else about them has been upgraded.

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:

https://books2read.com/u/3k60EL

It’s also FREE to read on Kindle Unlimited.
