NEW RELEASE: A Planet's Ransom by Carlie Simonsen

A Planet's Ransom by Carlie Simonsen is now available direct from Amazon (in Kindle and print), Smashwords (in all formats), and DriveThruFiction (PDF), and via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution.

Made hostages for a world whose international leaders didn’t know how to behave, we ended up on a new world, one we have to make our own, where every step of civilisation has to be earned, all over again. It’s meant to be a world to hide the secret of our survival—but not all the aliens believe we have a right to survive. Torn between two rival factions of an alien race, we have to save our keepers, defeat our hunters, and get a message to the stars.

And that’s just if we want to live.

Making a place for humanity, is another task altogether.

A Planet’s Ransom is the second book in the Space Adventures series, a series of science fiction adventures set in space, or on the colonies of newly discovered worlds. Each book is a stand-alone story that can be read without needing to read other books in the series.

NEW RELEASE: The Queen's Game by C.M. Simpson

The Queen's Game by C.M. Simpson is our first release for 2018. This dark, urban-fantasy short story is set in the Troll-Hunter universe and is now available from Smashwords (all formats), Amazon (Kindle) and DriveThruFiction (PDF) and via Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribution.

Never get involved with the Otherworld Fey. Take my word for it. I saved the Queen of Summer, and was betrothed to a lord of Winter by way of thanks—and then the human underworld got involved. So what do I do, when every choice is bad? What would you choose: death by troll, or the mercy of an elf?

2017 Novel Releases for C.M. Simpson

C.M. Simpson also started two new novel series in 2017: the Freeman series, a fantasy-science-fiction blend, consisting of stand-alone stories that will often be interconnected, but which can be read on their own; and the Aggie & Tams series is an urban-fantasy-thriller series consisting of stand-alone stories that build on each other, but do not have to be read in order. C.M. Simpson will be adding to these next year, as well as picking up the fantasy series started in The Priestess, the Prince and the Dragon.

Print-on-demand cover for Shades of Memory

When Aggie Dormain arrives in Canberra to paint some old diggers, she does not expect to meet an out-of-work archaeologist investigating an alien conspiracy, much less to be pulled into an adventure that would give Indiana Jones a run for his money.
