Second Cover of the Year - Rogue Retrieval by C.M. Simpson

The cover for this month's release, Rogue Retrieval,  has just been approved. This month, we continue expanding the stories in the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey universe. The latest is a novella-length adventure, involving a rescue mission, our favourite Odyssey agent, Delight, and the Shady Marie. Here is the cover:

I was doing okay, right up until Mack arrived, with Delight and Pritchard in tow. Retrieved for a rescue mission, I was in more trouble than I knew, and, as if that wasn’t enough, Mack had an agenda of his own. Well, of course, he did…

First Cover of the Year! - Miguel Unmade by C.M. Simpson

Well, the first cover of the year is here - and, this week, you'll see the first short story go live. It's a science fiction short story linking the different parts of the Odyssey universe together - the Lunar wolves, Odyssey, Delight, the arach and the lupar.

Captured by the space wolves and held aboard their battle cruiser, Miguel doesn’t think things could get worse—and then he discovers he’s sharing his cell with the two psychopaths he’s been trying to avoid. Dragged into their next deadly scheme, he faces two choices—do what they want and live as their captive, or save Earth and die horribly as a result. Either way, he loses. Just how much he loses is up to him.

NEW COVER - The Songster & the Pirates

The first new cover for September has been approved. Look out for this short story title to be released in the next couple of weeks:

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 COVER—Shadow’s Rise by C.M. Simpson

We are going over our older titles and updating the back matter in them. In addition, some of them will be receiving new—and, we hope, better—covers. This is the new cover for C.M. Simpson’s fantasy novel Shadow’s Rise. This title will be updated in the next couple of days, and we’ll let you know when.

When the gods discover an ancient power has suborned a king, and now menaces their domains, they must find agents to act on their behalf. Will a goddess’s temper over losing a favorite to the cause stand in their way? Or the capture of one of their chosen mean the attempt is doomed to fail before it has begun?

The current, unmodified version of this book, Shadow’s Rise, and the other two titles in the Shadow trilogy: Shadow Trap and Shadow’s Fall, are currently available for individual purchase, but will all be undergoing the update process over the next couple of weeks.

NEW COVER—Jalaya Revised

Jalaya was originally released in 2012, with a cover designed to match the anthology it was included in. This year, we decided it needed a cover that better reflected what it was about. Yes, Jalaya is about battle, and soldiers keeping people safe from raiders, BUT it is also about two people, forced to choose duty over their hearts, getting a second chance to both save their people and reunite. We think this cover says that a bit better than the last.

Michael has helped the villagers survive the invasion for ten years. This year, he cannot. Cut off from escape, their only hope of salvation is to return to the village, and pray. Returning to the village means returning to his fiancé, forced by a secret family tradition to remain, when duty called him to leave. But reunions will have to wait. First they have to bring their people home.
