We've had a busy summer, and have been a bit behind with keeping content fresh on the website, but that doesn't mean we forgot!

New this season, two great books:

Destiny's Blood by Marie Bilodeau (with rockin' cover by Kari-Ann Anderson)

Review

Marie Bilodeau knocks my socks off. She's got an amazing eye for detail and a sumptuous narrative voice. Destiny's Blood is a winner -- another home run from one of Canada's best new authors. --Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of WAKE
 

ABOUT THE BOOK

Layela Delamores wants nothing more than to settle into a quiet, peaceful life, running a small flower shop with her twin sister, Yoma. But Layela is tormented each night by terrifying visions that she cannot remember when she wakes. When Yoma vanishes, Layela is certain that her nightly visions hold the key - but only her sister's thieving friend, one of the last survivors of the ether races, can unlock them. Layela suspects that her friend isn't telling her the whole truth, instead sheltering her from her own visions.

Ripped from the safety of her flower shop into a universe of smugglers and assassins, Layela must pursue her sister across space in a desperate bid to overcome the destiny of destruction foretold in her dreams. But without full knowledge of her visions, Layela has no way to prevent them from coming to pass. And the fate of a whole world is on the line: the mythical First Star is on a path to self-destruction and the annihilation of all life.

Unless Layela finds a way to stop it. But to stop it would mean sacrificing her sister.

Or herself.
 
Scimitar Sun, the sequel to the award-winning Scimitar Moon, by Chris A. Jackson has just released. The launch party will be held at Dragon*Con at the beginning of September! Be sure not to miss it.
 

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Shattered Isles are at peace. Or so it seems. The vile pirate lord, Bloodwind, has been vanquished, and Cynthia Flaxal has everything she always dreamed of: the mystical powers of a seamage, a successful shipyard, the love of a great man, and a child on the way. But trouble roils both above and below the waves. A school of vengeful merfolk harbors a secret and terrible agenda. An empire perceives Cynthia's growing fleet as a threat. A small band of surviving pirates hatches a devious plot to regain supremacy in the Shattered Isles. A favor to an old friend leaves Cynthia with a powerful but undisciplined young pyromage on her hands. And as all these forces converge, the Seamage of the Shattered Isles finds herself and her unborn child caught right in the middle.
 

REVIEW

"SCIMITAR SUN is a great book. Pirates, a seamage, an empire reaching out for both - - and a fascinating race of mer-folk brought vividly to life. This isn't the castle-crowded, dragon-haunted fantasy so many spin tales of; this is refreshingly different. A sparkling tale full of engaging characters you'll want to see again. More, please!" ~Ed Greenwood,bestselling author of ELMINSTER MUST DIE!
 

It was a good month! Scimitar Moon, by Chris Jackson, won the GOLD (SF/F) in Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Awards.

Nina Kimberly the Merciless, by Christiana Ellis took home the BRONZE (SF/F) in the in Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Awards, meaning we just about ran the category. How cool is that?

Congratulations to both of you! Readers, if you've not picked up your copy yet - head on over to your local bookstore and ask for these award-winning books!

 

 

 

I've been very busy with preparing for the impending relocation of DMP and getting the books ready for the printer... but here we go!

Cold Magics, by Erik Buchanan had a fabulous launch at Ad Astra in Toronto in early April. As it got a different look than the first book in the series, Small Magics then had to get a new cover as well. Our Art Director Alex White did a great job.   

 

 

 

Rum and Runestones, an anthology of Pirate tales also released in April, but at Ravencon. The team there had a great time  and fabulous launch. This great collection of short stories will make you believe in magic again.

And finally live on Amazon.com today: Podthology: The Pod Complex - our very first collection of podcast stories, collected for the first time in print. We've had such wonderful support from the podcast community, we really wanted to celebrate their unique talents and spirit.

Murder at Avedon Hill

P.G. Holyfield

Welcome to the land of Caern, where the gods — the Children of Az —can choose to be born into the world as mortals to directly affect events... and often do. And where the conflict between religious faith and arcane magic has reached a breaking point.

 Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. Only a handful of people live in Avedon Hill, and most are suspects.

Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, must gain access to Avedon Hill’s mountain pass. But Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood...

 To earn his passage, Arames Kragen must discover who killed Gretta Platt. He must also uncover the truth about a town that seems to have more secrets than inhabitants.

Available as a print book ($19.95) or ebook ($2.99).

Print Book: $19.95 + shipping:

 

 

Epub $2.99:

 Kindle $2.99:

  • Suppose They Gave a Book and Nobody Came?
    I haven't heard writers fretting about underattended signings, and the readings I go to are always packed. Nonetheless, there's this persistent idea that unless you make people show up to a book-related event, they would really rather stay home and tweet their Goodreads updates.
