Braving Fate: A Fate of the Gods Novella and a COST OF LIVING/Patreon update!

Yes, yes I did write another Fate of the Gods novella, and it's releasing as a serial on Patreon beginning THIS WEEK!

Would you like a cover?

Have a cover!

 
BRAVING FATE takes place during the contemporary timeline of FORGED BY FATE--in fact, it's the events of that portion of the book from Thor's perspective!
 
Thor is Oathbound to protect the House of Lions as well as to keep Adam and Eve apart. When Adam finds the House of Lions at the very same moment Eve has returned to them, engaged to be married to its heir, Garrit DeLeon, Thor has no choice but to involve himself far more closely in her life than he'd prefer--as much as he loves her and desires her happiness, he never wished to endure a front-row seat to her marriage to another man. Particularly when he finds the man in question so unworthy of her.

 
Unlike WIELDING FATE, this novella is not nearly as spoileriffic for the entire rest of the series, and it's complete as is, so eventually I'll be releasing it wide--but it's been pushed back to 2025 at the earliest because, if you did not read my newsletter and already learn the news:

I'm taking a SABBATICAL from PUBLISHING!

This is not a sabbatical from writing. I'm just not going to be doing production and publishing work. I hate it and I am tired and I have 40+ individual titles in my backlist across three pen names now, and I just want to opt out of the content mill grind for a little bit, so I'm going to take some time to enjoy writing just for myself, rather than inside this "content creator" ecosystem we've built.

Which is all to say that everything that is currently Patreon Exclusive will be REMAINING Patreon exclusive that much longer! So if you want to read it, that's where you'll find it!

THIS INCLUDES:
  • WIELDING FATE: Part One, A Fate of the Gods Novella (The beginning of Ra and Athena's book which was staying Patreon Exclusive for the foreseeable future anyway.)

  • KING OF THE LAPITHS: A Helen of Sparta Side Story (Pirithous and Polypoetes's short story which takes place during the events of Helen of Sparta--I never made up my mind about releasing this wide but that can is getting kicked way down the road now!)

  • BRAVING FATE: A Fate of the Gods Novella (which will wrap up in December as a serial for $1 and $2 patrons. Patrons at the $5 level will get a downloadable epub of the full novella mid-November!)

  • OF GODS AND JOTUNS: A Collection of Short Stories (the paperback is available wide, but the ebook collection is Patron only, and I intend for it to stay that way, for everyone at the $5 and up level!)

  • COST OF LIVING (my Ur-Novel, which is getting an extremely limited special edition physical release but otherwise will remain Patreon exclusive--but the serialized edition is coming down at the end of the year, and will be replaced by a downloadable epub edition of the full novel, available only to patrons at the $5 level or above. This epub will REMAIN patreon exclusive basically forever!)
 
THERE ARE EIGHT SIGNED AND NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVERS OF COST OF LIVING UP FOR GRABS FOR ANYONE WHO PATRONS UP AT THE $25 TIER EITHER IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER OR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER! See this patreon post for more info!
 
Phew, okay. That's a lot of information. And let me drop a quick reminder that you can listen to the whole of A BROKEN HORSE, my Trojan War retelling PODCAST on Patreon right now, too! 
 
So there are plenty of reasons to Patron Up before the year ends! GO FORTH, FRIENDS!

Son of Zeus: Pirithous on Patreon!

If you're all caught up on your Fate of the Gods reading (or Fate of the Gods isn't your thing) I've got something new for you, too! Your favorite secondary character from HELEN OF SPARTA, and leading man in TAMER OF HORSES, Pirithous is BACK in a new modern day adventure--ONLY on Patreon!


Chapter One and Chapter Two are FREE to read if you want to see what it's all about, but Chapter Three and onward are available to patrons ONLY!

For just a dollar a month, you can read along, each chapter (between 4-7 a month) delivered directly to your inbox. For five dollars a month, you'll get mobi/epub files of each month's chapters, too! (And at all levels, access to past patron exclusive content, too!)

Seven months of Pirithous in the modern world begins now! I hope you'll join us (and him) on this newest adventure!!

More details in the Cover Copy:

Pirithous is back!
But after 3000 years trapped in Hades,
what does he have left to live for?

Pirithous, son of Zeus, stumbles out of the Underworld into Upstate New York, a land nothing like the one he left behind so long ago. The price of his freedom: revive the worship of his gods and build Persephone a temple for her help in his escape. But the world is so changed, Pirithous, once a wealthy and honored king, doesn't know where to begin.

Raised in a strict Greek Orthodox family, Thalia has always been something of a wild child. Wild enough to pick up an attractive man off the side of the road in exchange for his help, no questions asked. When he claims he's a son of Zeus, she gives him the benefit of the doubt. But Pirithous is more pirate than anything else, and an interstate road sign isn't the only thing he's happy to steal...

Hunted by centaurs sent by Hades himself, Pirithous is a danger to more than the woman who’s taken him in, and even for love and the help he needs to repay his debts, it's hard to justify the risk. Pirithous must find a way to work around the threat of his gods and the complications of the modern world to become the man and the hero Thalia deserves. Unless he’d prefer to return to the Underworld--and this time, there’s no coming back.

A fan-favorite hero in Helen of Sparta and Tamer of Horses, Pirithous returns for another adventure, this time set in the world you know.

New Beginnings in 2019

2018 was pretty solid. I made a lot of progress on a lot of projects, personal and authorly! But this isn't a post about looking backward--this is a post about a fresh new start.



Earlier this month, El Husband and I packed ourselves up and moved half-way across the country from New York to North Dakota. Back to North Dakota, I suppose, since we met at the University of North Dakota, in college. But even so, neither one of us thought we'd ever be coming back.

But we're here! A new job for El Husband and a new office for me! I'm thrilled to finally have a dedicated space for writing--and once I have it all put together, there will be pictures of more than just Maya doing her best to keep me from working on the freshly delivered couch!

For now, we're still in the waiting for our stuff to arrive period, slowly acquiring the things we need to set up our new place. Including a new PO Box, which until I can nail one down, I'm afraid we'll be a little bit newsletter-less, so I apologize for the delay there, but I promise I'm doing my best to get things back in order and keep you up to date AMALIAD style.

In the meantime--if you didn't see it on facebook and twitter, I did a podcast interview over at THE ENDLESS KNOT, talking about writing myth with some of my favorite twitter folks. It was a lot of fun chatting about Freydis and Theseus, so I hope you'll check it out!


And don't forget to mark FROM ASGARD, WITH LOVE want-to-read on Goodreads!! I'm working my way through final edits right now, and if all continues according to plan without any more big cross-country-move-style monkey-wrenches, I'll have that available for you in the first half of February! So keep your eyes peeled and get ready!!!

(Perhaps by reading POSTCARDS FROM ASGARD? Or maybe DAUGHTER OF A THOUSAND YEARS, which is on sale for the rock bottom price of 99 cents for kindle right now!)
