NEW RELEASE: Seppelitus

Released on Smashwords, just in time for Halloween, Seppelitus is C.M. Simpson's latest novella-length short story, featuring gargoyles, demons, ogres, and a dragon. This short story will shortly be available in print-on-demand mass market and large-print trade formats, as well as from Amazon-Kindle, Kobo, OmniLit, and DriveThruFiction.

 

Being a bodyguard isn’t easy, not even when you’re the seventh son in a long line of seventh sons, not even when the magic comes when you call—and especially not when the man you are protecting is a treacherous, lecherous spoilt son of wealth and privilege, who betrays you for a pretty girl. Transported to the far north, Seppelitus must extricate himself from a deal between gargoyles, ogres and a demon lord, and then work out what he’s going to do about the dragon.

Today we release C.M. Simpson's latest science fiction short story, Melerom Leads the Dance. This tale follows on fairly closely from Miss Delight's Mistake and is out on Smashwords, with Amazon-Kindle, OmniLit, Kobo, and DriveThruFiction releases soon to follow.

When Melerom escapes the aftermath of his people’s massacre of the humans on Jehornak, he sets himself up as a wealthy wanderer on the Odyssey luxury liners, and acquires the one thing every gentleman needs—a valet—but when his valet begins showing unusually perceptive spurts of initiative, Melerom realises the man is not everything he seems. The only question is, can the man be trusted to help him survive multi-billionaire, Frederico Coleman’s, next party, or betray him?

NEW RELEASE: Miss Delight's Mistake by C.M. Simpson

Today's release is a science fiction short story by C.M. Simpson, Miss Delight's Mistake.

People are disappearing on the close archaeological world of Jehornak, including an Odyssey operative’s sister, but that’s not why he’s there. It seems other people have gone missing, too, people with relatives rich enough to pay Odyssey to discover exactly what is happening in the mysterious cavern known as The Ballroom. However, when things go south on the mission, can Agent Delight keep her reputation, and make sure her operative comes out alive?
