Forged by Fate is FREE!

It's that time again!

FORGED BY FATE is now FREE in digital wide release--Nook, Kobo, Apple, Scribd, Kindle, go! I'm working on getting it price matched on the zon's international sites but for whatever reason, and despite the email telling me they've done it, the free pricing hasn't gone through yet, so--Fingers Crossed, I suppose?

And don't forget that:

1) FORGED BY FATE technically ends at Christmas so it COULD be a legit holiday read if you subscribe to the "anything that has a Christmas adjacent timeline is a Christmas story" school of holiday reading.

But!

2) I ALSO have an EXPLICITLY holiday themed historical fantasy romance installment in the Fate of the Gods series--the novella, TAMING FATE!

TAMING FATE primarily takes place during the ACTUAL twelve days of Christmas, as celebrated in 15thC France, and you can grab it either on its own, for kindle, or as part of the FACETS OF FATE collection also for kindle, AND in wide release everywhere else (plus paperback!) 

Honestly, I recommend just grabbing it as part of FACETS OF FATE because I still haven't spun out the bonus BEYOND FATE epilogue novella, FINDING FATE, that is exclusively available in that collection, so you're get 3 novellas, plus some short stories, all for the price of 2 if you bought them as independent titles, and it's nice to just have so many of the extra stories and novellas all collected that way, if you ask me--which I realize you didn't. 

With the new cover art, FACETS would also make a great paperback gift for the FATE OF THE GODS enthusiast in your life! (Though I'd order RIGHT NOW, if you want it to arrive in time for Christmas!)

And uh, as with any good Fate of the Gods post going forward, here's an obligatory link to the reading order for your reference.

If you've already caught up on all the Fate of the Gods content I've put out--you're fantastic and my hero--it might interest you to know that I am poking at a Roman Gaul Thor and Evaline House of Lions novella probably which would take place during the events of FATE FORGOTTEN, and yes, there still is a third of a book from Ra and Athena's PoV in a folder on my hard drive which I would like to continue writing when the time is right. 

I've shared tastes of both over on Patreon, I believe, which you can read for as little as a dollar a month, along with the entirety of SON OF ZEUS, Pirithous's modern day adventure, and the in-progress COST OF LIVING--my very first novel, brought back to life as a serial billionaire romance exclusively available to my Patreon patrons! (Long time readers of the blog will perhaps remember--this is Thairon and Setta's book which has aged very strangely as the genesis for a lot of other stories I went on to write, but was still delightful to me to revisit!)

Chapters 1 and 2 of COST OF LIVING are free to read, in case you need a little bit more encouragement to sign on as a patron! They were pretty long, so I broke each one up into two pieces--so it's four posts of free reading for you to get a sense of the characters and the story! I hope you'll come read along!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I have been dropping some extremely scandalous 🔥🔥🔥 teasers from my Amalia Theresa Playing to Win holiday special, WINTER GAMES over on instagram if that is your jam, so feel free to pop over and check those out! I had such a blast designing the stepback covers to save my family from the searing hot sexiness of it all. (The final one will drop tomorrrroooowwwww!)

And with that, I wish you a VERY GLAD YULE (which starts tomorrow for me!) and good health and happiness to you and yours in the new year!

Fate of the Gods is Going Wide and FACETS Gets a Facelift!

This month, most of my Fate of the Gods titles are dropping out of Kindle Unlimited-- Concealing Fate, Enduring Fate, Fate Forgotten, and Beyond Fate already have, with Forged by Fate following on the 25th and Facets of Fate on April 1.

I'll be slowly updating the files and uploading them for distribution with kobo, nook, apple books, and more and you'll find the updated links on the Fate of the Gods series page as they go live!

To celebrate, with new distribution also comes new cover art for FACETS OF FATE, which I've been wanting to update for some time and bring in line with the new art for the novellas it collects--and because I'm impatient and anxious, I'm dropping the new cover here now so you can get hyped with me! You'll find it on the digital files after April 1, and also on the paperback edition, so this is your last chance to grab the paperback with the original art that matches the old original WWP series covers if that's how you roll!

Ready?

I only wish I could update my Goodreads icons to match--but alas they've been discontinued! Future Amalia will update her bottom of the blogpost signature images soon, I hope. (Present Amalia is in over her head with Print Proofs for Son of Zeus and updating the FOTG files for wide release. Concealing Fate is out there but somehow I ended up tackling FACETS next instead of Enduring Fate or Fate Forgotten. This pandemic brain, I'm telling you. What a mess.)

In other new cover art news, I recently revealed the updated cover designs for HONOR AMONG ORCS and BLOOD OF THE QUEEN over on Patreon. (They got to see the Facets of Fate cover first, too!) Right now my Patreon is paused, but you can still become a new patron and you'll pay only for this month's access to all the content that's accumulated over there--including the entirety of SON OF ZEUS in advance of its release this summer! 

(More details about SON OF ZEUS and also TAMER OF HORSES over on the Amalia Carosella blog, for those interested.)

I'm not sure yet when the new covers for the Orc Saga will be revealed elsewhere. I'm a little terrified that you'll all hate them, to be honest, or it will kill the pagereads and earnings, or, or, or. Welcome to my insecure author brain.

Anyway. That's what I've got! I hope you're all healthy and safe as you can be!

Enduring Fate Release Day!

Happy Release Day for Enduring Fate!
(And Happy Thor's Day, also!)

Grab your copy from Amazon for just 2.99, or read it for FREE if you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, along with the rest of the Fate of the Gods trilogy and novellas! And just in case you need it-- let me lay out a reading order for those of you who might be coming to the series belatedly :)
1) Forged by Fate
↪Tempting Fate
↪ Bride Price (collected with Tempting Fate & Taming Fate in FACETS OF FATE)
2) Fate Forgotten
↪ Taming Fate
↪ Enduring Fate
3) Beyond Fate
↪ Finding Fate (collected with Tempting Fate & Taming Fate in FACETS OF FATE)



And keep an eye out for a Forged by Fate prequel novella, coming soon!

I'm also excited to let you know that FAVOR OF GOD, my Samson and Delilah short story/retelling is now available for purchase-- just 1.99 for kindle.

Last but not least, Patreon Patrons are getting another Amalia Dillin short story this month--The Rule of Fate--which is not at all related to my Fate of the Gods series despite the use of that word in the title. This one, like Refuge, is likely going to stay Patreon Exclusive for a goodly while, so if you want to collect 'em all, Patreon is where you want to be!

That's all for now! Happy reading, friends!!!

2017 Release Round-Up

Just in case you missed anything--


In February, DAUGHTER OF A THOUSAND YEARS hit shelves, which is a book that broke me to write and continues to break me in new and different ways in release. It's also about Eric the Red's daughter Freydis, and the rise of Christianity around the year 1000 AD and the marginalization of pagan beliefs, reflected both in the past and present, because it has a contemporary timeline too! Woooooooo Dual Timeline Historical Fiction. Anyway. Grab it if you haven't!! There's some connective tissue there that will particularly appeal to fans of my Fate of the Gods books! And it is a book about Heathens by a Heathen, if that sort of thing speaks to you, too.

In July, I finally and at last released FACETS OF FATE, a collection of my Fate of the Gods novellas and short stories, which included TEMPTING FATE (Mia's story), TAMING FATE (Eve and Ryam DeLeon's story--particularly appropriate to the holiday season!) and the all new FINDING FATE (Marcus's story, and also a sort of epilogue to the Fate of the Gods trilogy), as well as Bride Price (about Adam and the DeLeon boys), Mortal Flesh, and a bonus Athena "chapter" that takes place during the events of Forged by Fate.  This was kind of a passion project of mine. I'd wanted to do a paperback collection like this for a very long time, because Tempting Fate was e-only and so many friends and family members wanted everything in print. So now it is! Go forth and complete your novella collection!

In October, we published A SEA OF SORROW: A NOVEL OF ODYSSEUS, the latest H-Team collaborative novel. I'm one of six awesome authors retelling the Odyssey from the perspective of the monsters, witches, and women Odysseus leaves behind. If you enjoyed the H-Team's SONG OF WAR, A YEAR OF RAVENS, and A DAY OF FIRE, you'll definitely want to get your hands on A SEA OF SORROW as well!

In addition to all of that, I also recovered my Fate of the Gods trilogy--all new cover art, and as an incentive to all of you who already have FORGED BY FATE, FATE FORGOTTEN, and BEYOND FATE in print, some bonus scenes in the back of each of those books. You'll probably be MOST interested in the additional three chapters of Eve's life in the ward in the back of FATE FORGOTTEN, but don't miss Thor showing off his power in the back of FORGED BY FATE or the left on the cutting room floor scene between Thor and Eve at the end of BEYOND FATE. The scenes in Fate Forgotten and Beyond Fate are exclusive to the print editions and won't be available anywhere else, so hopefully you'll enjoy it! Really, there's never been a better time to introduce your friends to Fate of the Gods!


Finally, that Orc Saga short story I promised you all is in process--not QUITE finished yet, because it has been a YEAR, but look for it in January-ish. And then it'll be Orc 3 time for Author me! It's the only project currently on my docket for 2018, and now that I have relearned to love writing again, I'm hoping it will all go smoothly!

Fingers crossed and the happiest of holidays to all of you! May your last week of 2017 be bright, and 2018 bring you forward momentum and blessings!
