Last Week’s New Covers

Last week we got downright busy, so, while we announced the approval for the cover to go with today’s new release, TheSongster & the Pirates, we completely forgot to announce the approval of the next cover in the Mack ‘n’ Me series, Mack 'n' Me: The Wolves of Alpha 9, or the cover for The Dockmaster, the first in a new fantasy series, The Dockmasters of Kerevesh. Here they are:

Once a space merc, now a singer, Taran keeps her identity as a siren secret. When spacewolves join the audience at her current gig, she knows what they’re looking for. The only question is can she slip away, before the wolves and her past can catch up with her?

 

NEW RELEASE—The Depredides Dance by C.M. Simpson

The first release for July is now live. C.M. Simpson's dark science-fiction short story, The Depredides Dance, is set directly after the events in Mack 'n' Me: Origins and is available direct from Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, and multiple stores via Books2Read, as well as via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution.

 

All I had to do was disappear. That was it: disappear and stay out of sight. Hard enough with Abs running an auction for the last location she left me, but then I poked the Depredides communications network—and everything else looked downright easy… I’m not even sure there is a way out of this…

The Depredides Dance is a stand-alone short story set in the Odyssey universe. However, if you’re into reading things in order, it tells the story of what happened to Cutter after the end of Mack ‘n’ Me: Origins, and thus forms story 1-1 of the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series.

NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.

NEW COVER—Mack ‘n’ Me: The Transporter’s Favour

We’ve just approved the fourth cover for June, and the last cover needed for our July releases!

Abby hauled me off the ship before Tens had a chance to stop her—and that’s okay, because I already owed Abs a favour. In fact, it was better than okay, because it showed us how much trouble we hadn’t known we were in. But going against the Star Shadow hunt pack? Nullifying their contract to keep ourselves unchained and at large? That was gonna be something else entirely.

Mack ‘n’ Me: The Transporter’s Favour is the fourth science-fiction novel set in the Odyssey universe.

NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, this this story may not be to your taste.

NEW RELEASE—Mack ‘n’ Me: Arach by C.M. Simpson

The latest installment of C.M. Simpson's Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series, Mack 'n' Me: Arach was released a few days ago. It is available direct from Amazon, Smashwords, DriveThruFiction, Google Play and Kobo, and via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution. More links can be found at Books2Read.

Nothing ruins a good cup of kaff than a spider teleporting on board… and these were in the six-foot-business-suite-and-tie range, carrying blasters and a sense of entitlement like you wouldn’t believe. They gave me a job to do, and held my ship hostage while I went to do it—and *that’s* when everything went all to Hell. Exactly how I’m gonna get us out of this one, is a mystery to me. First step, though, is to bust Mack and the ship right out of their eight-legged claws. Piece of cake. Right?

Mack ‘n’ Me: Arach is the third science-fiction novel set in the Odyssey universe. Cutter is running with Mack and his merry band of space-faring freelancers, and, outside the occasional contract, Odyssey are leaving them well alone.

NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.

NEW COVER—The Depredides Dance

The third cover completed for the month was the cover for C.M. Simpson's next short story release, The Depredides Dance, which is currently available for pre-order direct from Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, and multiple stores via Books2Read, as well as via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution.

The Depredides Dance tells the story of what happened to Cutter directly after Mack 'n' Me: Origins.
