D.F. Monk's Blog: It's full of words.

A new Lions of the Empire book is out.

The authors tell me it is quite good. If you read my reviews, then you'll know I'm generally soft on criticism, so I'll leave that up to you kind readers out there.

It seems one of the Lions of the Empire has added another book to our list of titles: It Came From Hyperspace!

I know you're more than capable of searching on your own, but here's a link on Goodreads for you:

Go and tell him what a (good/bad) job he's done. But don't give him too much attention, he's not used to it.

Instead you can tell me. I'll administer the appropriate level of (praise/disapproval).

Thank you.

We here at Lions of the Empire would like to thank everyone who entered the 2017 May Days Giveaways on Goodreads! This marks our third year for this event, and the first time Beyond the Burning Sea has been on the list. We were overwhelmed by close to 1700 entries for our three books and we would like to thank you all for supporting our work.

We are currently packing up and sending out the winning copies to the respective winners, so keep an eye in your mailboxes for those. We certainly hope you will enjoy these newest additions to your summer reading list.

Follow our blog for news and short stories and keep an eye out for announcements on not one, but two new books coming soon.

Every May since we started publishing, we've given away free copies. This year we're giving away copies of three different books.

You can read about it on the Lions of the Empire official blog-o-matic machine.

You can also look up the following authors or book titles (in no particular order):

D.F. Monk (me)
TB Schmid (someone else)
Tales of Yhore (book#1)
Feral (book #2)
Beyond the Burning Sea (book #3)

You should enter. You might win one... or all three... I honestly don't know how they figure out who wins. I think it has something to do with the weight of dark matter and the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a candy filled lollypop. Who knows. It might even be math.

One of those other chaps has written a new short story. It is available here: You Get What You Pay For.

Enjoy this and other stories on the Lions of the Empire Official Blog.

Apparently these two fellows have written a book or something:

It releases on September 20th.

The Lions of the Empire need readers. Will you answer the call?

Thank you very much to everyone who entered! I will be packing and shipping copies to my three winners shortly.

Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Thanks for reading along!

I have a new short story called Taste up at the Lions of the Empire blog. It was nice working with my wife on this one.

It just occurred to me that's it's been over a year since Tales of Yhore saw its first print option (Feb 10, 2015). I'm exceptionally grateful to everyone who's read it, even more appreciative to those who have chosen to review it and excited that more is on the way.

Tales of Yhore 2 is currently in the incubator and fellow Lions of the Empire author TB Schmid and I are reviewing our first Ruine series book for publication, with another to follow shortly behind it.

I'd like to express my sincerest thanks to my family, friends and readers. You make make me feel like a bestseller.
