September 8 eBook Release: The Starman's Arrival

Last Friday we released the ebook version of C.M. Simpson's science fiction short story, The Starman's Arrival. It is now available on Smashwords, Amazon, DriveThruFiction, and via Draft2Digital distribution, and will become part of a collection of this year's short stories to be released mid- to late- next year.

Knocking over those crates of beer was a death sentence. I did it on purpose, in front of everyone, and then I did the only thing I could—I ran. I think I saved the starman. Now, the only way I’ll know, is if the supply ship comes in time to drive the raiders away—and I get back out of Blacklegs’ Forest alive. Wish me luck, okay? I’m gonna need it.

New Release: The Soul in the Sword by C.M. Simpson

The second of this week's new releases is another short story from C.M. Simpson.

When an Arach raiding party attacks a wagon train and moves on to take on the next town, Dannon is part of the out-riders who must clean up in their wake. The dead girl on the wagon is just one of many reasons he doesn’t like spiders, or the elves that ride them.

The Soul in the Sword is a short tale of fantasy battle, which will be incorporated into An Anthology of Blades.

It is available as a stand-alone story from Smashwords, and will soon be available from Kobo, Kindle, iTunes, and Nook.

First Paragraphs: Fisherpriest

Fisherpriest is the first book in the Tales of the Five Kingdoms series. Its main character, Linna steps between two worlds when the two halves of her soul are reunited, and must learn to find her way in a new world.

I did not know, when I created the fisher priests, that they existed, and it was certainly never my intention to become one.

Fisherpriest was released in October 2012 and can be purchased from the following locations:
