HEY Y’ALL! 😀 THE GOOD NEWS: My TITAN MAGE OMNIBUS: VOLUME I premium edition hardback stock came in! 😄

THE BAD NEWS: While most of the print was ✨ perfect and gorgeous ✨, the foiling on the spine had some rather egregious errors. 😬

To its enormous credit, BookVault is reprinting the run for me. 😄 But also, I’m not gonna lug these heavy error editions to cons to sell. That said, if you want one, I’ve got these signed editions up on the direct shop for HALF THE PRICE of the usual premium edition. (But there are only 8, so if you want one, grab it LIKE NOW.)

These contain TITAN MAGE (#1), THE HOT SPRINGS EPISODE (#1.5), TITAN MAGE RUIN (#2), and TITAN MAGE DRAGON (#3), with painted edges, printed endpapers, a silver foiled dust jacket, and a “modesty” cover on the inner book so you can read it in public without lame people judging you. 😁

HALF-PRICE SIGNED ERROR EDITION ($29.99): https://store.holowriting.com/products/print-error-edition-titan-mage-omnibus-the-complete-crystal-moon-arc-volume-i-silver-foil-painted-edges-premium-edition-hardback-copyUNSIGNED PRINT-ON-DEMAND EDITION ($59.99): https://store.holowriting.com/products/titan-mage-omnibus-the-complete-crystal-moon-arc-volume-i-silver-foil-painted-edges-premium-edition-hardbackWhere’s the signed good edition? Once my new stock from BookVault arrives, the listing will be up on my shop. (It’s expected to ship from the UK around December 12th.)

READ CATGIRLS FROM OUTER SPACE HERE Catgirls from Outer SpaceStandalone (For Now)by Edie Skye & Jacob HoloHarem Lit • Science Fiction • Action-Adventure • Men’s Romance

***

A down on his luck spaceship captain?An ex-space pirate catgirl? A catgirl warrior who’s down for some wild … adventure? Only one question remains:Want to make some kittens tonight?

***

Captain Nathan Kade just wants a quick job to keep his busted-up spaceship limping through the Solar System.

Instead he gets Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful catgirl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. She’s chaos in a tight catsuit, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen.

Not to mention a really nice … tail. He pulls that tail out of the fire, and together they assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. Soon, he’s commanding a ragtag crew of space cowboys:

A warrior catgirl who’s as deadly with a wink as her bladeA snarky multi-bodied robot commando pilotA sexy engineer who knows how to make a reactor purrAnd a grumpy, cyber-implanted cleric who whispers with the remnants of ancient gods

They’ll dodge spaceship fire, flirt with danger (and each other), and maybe—just maybe—make the score of a lifetime.

But they’re not the only ones chasing the prize. The Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he’d like a few words with Nathan and his catgirls—preferably in chains.

Guns will blaze. Spaceships will burn. Tails will swish.

And somewhere in all that mayhem, a broke captain might just find everything he never knew he wanted.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with national bestselling author Jacob Holo and Amazon bestselling author Edie Skye in this brand new science fiction standalone. If you’re a fan of wild futuristic technology, wilder catgirls, and spicy scrappy crew space opera, this just might be the story you’ve been waiting for.

WARNING: Catgirls from Outer Space is a fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi adventure romance for men where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

NOTE: The first edition of this novel was originally released by Baen Books as Freelancers of Neptune by Jacob Holo. This second edition features additional content and character arcs contributed by Edie Skye.

For readers unfamiliar with Edie Skye, there will be spice and its doors will be WAAAAY open. For readers unfamiliar with Jacob Holo, there will be math but it will be fade to black.

One of the best places for harem authors to drum up interest for new releases is Reddit, and the more upvotes a Reddit post has, the more likely it is to be noticed.

If you’re over there, we’d be immensely grateful if you’d pop over to the posts below and give them an upvote and/or comment. Thanks a bunch in advance! 😁

HEY Y’ALL! Recently, you may have noticed some of your favorite authors complaining about a variety of issues with Amazon. In my case: I submitted a listing for my next book, Catgirls from Outer Space, roughly a week ago and … nothing has appeared yet. 😐

Here, have a surprise cover reveal!

That’s because my pre-order submission – which usually takes a few hours to go through – has been stuck in Amazon limbo since October 26th. 😮

This is in relation to several wider Amazon problems that have been plaguing authors for weeks. There’s a lot to it, but the TL;DR is that Amazon’s in the process of rolling out updates to thwart its recent influx of AI-generated content. Many of these changes are ultimately good in concept, even if they’re requiring authors to make some significant pivots in how they launch books …

… But something about the execution has screwed up the whole site. 😐

Not only are pre-orders stuck in limbo, but reviews are disappearing, new reviews are not actually making it to books’ sales pages, books that are showing as newly released in one place are giving error messages in another, rankings are being excruciatingly slow to update …

It’s a whole damn mess. 😭

Anyway, the reason I mention it at all is to say:

1) I got no idea when this pre-order’s gonna be up on Amazon. 😭2) To thwart one of the changes that’s gonna stick, I’m re-opening applications to my … er, my cat’s street team!

Members of our street team are sent free review copies of our eBooks AS SOON AS I HAVE THE eBOOK READY (which, in some rare instances – like with Catgirls from Outer Space – means you’ll get to read it before it even finishes posting on Patreon).

All I ask in return is that you post a review on release day.

Pretty much all you have to do to be accepted is show evidence that you’ve reviewed books recently. We’re low-key and low-maintenance over here.

If you want to join, fill out this form and I’ll add you to the list!

JOIN MY STREET TEAM HERE!

Why am I doing this at all? Long story short, early good reviews are now WAYYYYY more important now. One of the ways Amazon’s thwarting AI is to make rankings and reviews update every 1-2 days rather than hourly. This is to make it harder to manipulate bestseller lists with specifically-timed sales blasts, amongst other things.

BUT if a book’s first and only review is a drive-by 1-star, and the author doesn’t know that for a day or two, that could be the beginning of the end for a release because of how Amazon gathers the data that helps it decide whether to push books to readers. 😬

It ain’t gonna show a 1-star book, and if you lose that early algorithm push, your book’s basically dead in the water. 😬😬😬

Having a bunch of readers ready to review on launch day, however, is a good way to curb that. 😊

Which is to say, thanks in advance for reading and reviewing! 😁

Hey, y’all! 😄 I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

Shami Stovall‘s back again with a progression fantasy epic that has big anime vibes. Basically, if you liked InuYasha and Berserk but thought they both needed a little Solo Leveling-style progression, Words of Power is your series and Empire of the Twin Suns – Book 2 – is your book!

Want to hear more? Here’s my interview with her about Book 1!

And here’s the Book 2 itself!

READ EMPIRE OF THE TWIN SUNS HERE Empire of the Twin SunsWords of Power #2

by Shami Stovall

***

If power is not used, it dies.

Rimon, the new Ring Warlock of Rovik Prefecture, has been summoned by the emperor. Now, he must cross the Tze Empire, where spirits and demons roam the countryside, to have an audience with the emperor in the Ebon Capital.

Along the way, Rimon grows in power, stealing apex abilities from all sorts of creatures. He even has his second ring, something no other Ring Warlock has ever had…

But when Rimon accidentally kills the emperor’s elite guards, he believes the emperor may not forgive him. The punishment for any crime against the empire is death.

Determined to protect his people and his new prefecture, Rimon decides he will confront the emperor directly. But what kind of magic does the man wield? It seems it might not be from the rings as all… It might be something even more dangerous and powerful.

Rimon will have to master new abilities in half the time in this new Progression Fantasy Adventure by Shami Stovall, the Dragon-Award nominated author of Knightmare Arcanist!

HEY, Y’ALL! 😄 Like to wait until serials are finished before you read? Rejoice!

START TITAN MAGE HAVOC #1 on PATREON

Titan Mage Havoc and the Frigid Flame (Titan Mage Havoc #1) is now complete on the Titan Engineer+ tiers over on Patreon!

What you’ll find over there is the rough draft of the novel. I’m currently in the midst of final edits as we speak – but the release date is still up in the air, largely due to an 😉 as-yet-unannounced semi-secret project 😉 that’s currently posting on the Patreon, but will also be released before Havoc.

Which is to say, Patreon will be the only place you’re able to read it until some background details get worked out (though the current projected release date is March 2026).

However, that’s not the only Titan Mage-related reason to pop over there. I brought ✨ Jackson Tjota ✨ back to illustrate the covers of this series, too, and this week, I’ll be posting high-res copies of the first round of cover art to the Apprentice Mage+ tiers, including one variant with fewer … layers. 😉

Until then, have this preview:

(Didn’t want you guys to miss out on that amazingly-rendered carabiner. 😊)

Hark! I just finished up one Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer sale … only for Audible to choose the audiobook for its October sale. 🤣 That said, if you’re into hot monster girl gamers hunting vampires, you can grab Book 1 of the Blood Knight series for just $5.99 through the end of October!

An insatiable succubus? A shy werewolf? A scatterbrained angel? This team needs a leader!

J.B. Clarke enrolled in college to earn his degree and find a steady job. What he got instead was an adventure in a secret underworld where vampires rule over all. Emma Rose, a friendly gamer who turns out to be a succubus, recruits him into Broken Fang, an overly ambitious team of monster girls. These lovely ladies know they’ll need help if they’re to stand a chance against the vampires, and they’re looking for a few good men.

Well, one man, actually. And that’s him.

Clarke is soon thrust into a hidden world full of magic, mystery, and mythical creatures. He’s in way over his head because Broken Fang is a dysfunctional mess, and his calculus professor is a sadistic vampire who snacks on pet animals. He’ll need more than his (considerable) experience with fantasy games to solve this problem!

Fortunately, he’s far from helpless. He’s a blood knight, descended from an ancient and powerful line of vampire hunters, and his magical abilities have finally begun to awaken. But will they be enough? Can he master his powers in time to face the coming storm? Can he grow into the leader Broken Fang so desperately needs?

Or will he end up as just one more meal for the vampires?

WARNING: Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer is a fun urban fantasy adventure where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

Hey, y’all! 😄 I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

If you’re into fantasy adventure about outlawed magic, found family, and tiny angry dragons (with Arcane vibes!), go check out Marisa Wolf‘s latest, A Plague of Magic!

Want to hear more? Here’s my interview with her about that book:

And here’s the book itself!

READ A PLAGUE OF MAGIC HERE A Plague of MagicArcane Hoard #1

by Marisa Wolf

***

BIG SCORE, LITTLE DRAGON, LOTS OF TROUBLE

MAGIC HAS BEEN OUTLAWED FOR CENTURIES . . .

. . . but when Cima’s life choices limit her gang’s avenues for making a profit, they’re forced to scavenge in a haunted corner of the city, where they unearth what they believe to be life-changing loot. Then it all comes apart: the hoard they’ve recovered is something more than material treasure, it’s potent magic from before the cataclysm that brought the old world to ruin.

Will the plague of magic they’ve unleashed destroy her chosen family, her city, and the world?

Or will the recovery of the items fenced by her gang lead Cima to become the guardian of a new age?

***

Praise for  A Plague of Magic:

“What a cool read! Cima grabs you by the heart and drags you along on her misadventure in dealing with a snarky dragon, its cursed horde and magic that can corrupt everything in its path. This book will make you laugh, cry and cheer!” —Wen Spencer, author of the Elfhome series

Praise for Marisa Wolf:

“Marisa Wolf is, hands down, my favorite new voice in science fiction and fantasy. Her trademark blend of smart-aleck characters with deep, complicated emotions and convoluted loyalties combines with fast-paced plots and unexpected twists to pull me in and leave me wide awake, breathless, desperately wishing for more at 1 AM. Every. Single. Time. She’s a superstar on the rise and I am so excited to watch it happen!” —Kacey Ezell, Maj USAF (Ret.), author of Magelight

Praise for  Beyond Enemies:

“Humor blends with powerful confrontations in this gripping saga of engagement that works on a different level than most genre reads.” —Midwest Book Review

***

Marisa Wolf writes SFF that ends with hope, no matter how hard the circumstances. She has a number of coauthored novels in shared universes, solo novels in her own worlds, and a plethora of short stories. All contain various levels of snark.

After several years living on the road in an RV, Marisa, her husband, and their high-maintenance rescue dog are currently based in the woods of New England—but it’s anyone’s guess where in the country she is at any given moment. More at www.marisawolf.net.
