Mage by LJ Swallow (Book 1 in the Fringe Realms series) and was released 9th January.



Is Eleanor a player trapped in the Fringe Realms or is she a character created to live inside the game?

Ready Player One meets Westworld in this new sci-fi fantasy series.

Eleanor Walker wakes in a forest with vague memories of her life, no possessions, and a silver band strapped to her wrist. She’s not sure what's strangest about the next event – meeting spiders bigger than a human, or the fire that shoots from her hands.

She steps further into the dark and comes across three guys who are part of this unfamiliar new world. Jay the cleric with muscles worthy of a warrior, Dean the smart-mouthed assassin, and her real-life friend Aidan—who can now transform into something terrifying.

All four are convinced they’re stuck in a game and their combined powers create a team as strong as the characters they once played online. The group journey through their new world filled with hazardous quests and rewards, where working and levelling up together brings the four closer. Now they need to figure out how to reach the end game and escape.

Everything changes when they discover somebody hidden inside the game. Ethan has dangerous secrets to share and information that threatens Eleanor and her companions' future.

Why is Eleanor in the game and what will she find when she reaches the fringes of her new world?

Fringe Realms: Mage is a slow burn reverse harem for fans of dystopian science fiction and fantasy. The book contains gamelit/LitRPG elements.

Please note: This is not a 'pure' LitRPG novel but contains a levelling system, stats, and a character whose journey is tied to her character abilities and progress in-game.

This book is written in British English.

Elf Princes Warrior by Bernadette Rowley (Book 5 of the Wildecoast Saga series) was released 14 January.

 


Caught up in a vicious civil war, elven princess Gwaethe Arenil is desperate to save her faction and reunite her people. Help presents itself in the form of Captain Jacques Vorasava, the dashing human Brightcastle commander. But does Jacques’s aid come with more dangers than Gwaethe can endure, both for her people and her heart? This story continues themes from The Elf King’s Lady.

When I wrote The Elf King’s Lady, I realised I would be returning to give Gwaethe Arenil her happily ever after. Gwaethe is the half-sister of Elf King’s Lady hero Kain Jazara and there was much left in his story, let alone Gwaethe’s. The exotic elven princess is determined to save her people and bring Kain into his rightful place as leader of the elven race.

Gwaethe was a major secondary character in Elf King and this is where she met Jacques Vorasava, the human she finds difficult to resist. They fought on the same side, creating a bond of respect and loyalty that laid the foundations for deeper feelings. But as they are thrown together a second time, Gwaethe begins to realise the yawning chasm that separates them.

Elf Princess Warrior is a story of inter-racial love set amidst the greater conflict of war. I hope readers enjoy the story as Gwaethe and Jacques navigate the treacherous territory of lust, love, war and political intrigue. Elf Princess Warrior will be available at the end of the year.

Binding Blood by Daniel de Lorne (Book 3 the Bonds of Blood series) was released by Escape Publishing on 20 December.


Daniel de Lorne's gripping, romantic, blood-drenched trilogy ends with Binding Blood, a story of pain, longing, love, and the long road to redemption.

Monsters don’t get to be heroes…

Betrayed by his brother and imprisoned in his sister’s dungeon, Olivier d’Arjou isn’t about to let a few chains get in his way. A vampire for six hundred years and a plague on his family for longer, he has no reason to hold back from wiping out the last of his family members and anyone who gets in his way. But first, he’ll need to break free.

When Oberon North, witch and survivor of one of Olivier’s most heinous crimes, comes seeking vengeance, it should be child’s play to bend the witch to his will. But Oberon comes with more power and resilience than Olivier expects and forces him to confront truths he’d rather avoid.

But Olivier’s inner conflict must take a backseat when he learns of his sister Aurelia’s plan to save the world from the demon Xadrak. A battle generations in the making, to succeed requires the ultimate sacrifice from both Olivier and his brother Thierry – and the last chance Olivier has to reclaim his humanity and a future he never thought possible.

Earth’s Space Corps give her one option: steal three gems sacred to the Eon Warriors. Lara has never failed a mission and she doesn’t plan to start now.

Neither of these fighters believe in love, but on the trail of a stolen gem, they will ignite an unstoppable desire, and discover that not only are their lives at stake, but their hearts as well.

Squad mates, best friends, and fighting to survive in the middle of an alien invasion. Can she make one stubborn alpha-male soldier see her as something else?

Sienna Rossi has always been a mix of contradictions. She loves ice cream, likes cooking, and is skilled at taking down aliens with her squad. Sweet and tough, soldier and woman, most people can't seem to make sense of her...even the loving family she lost in the invasion, and especially men. One man accepts her as she is: her best friend, Theron. But the big, silent, muscled soldier has her firmly in the "friends" zone...except that Sienna knows he wants her, and she's determined to claim the stubborn man as hers.

Theron Wade lives to fight aliens. They killed his parents, his foster siblings, and his fellow Rangers. Now, he has a new team - the tough, mostly-female Squad Nine. But one certain female haunts his dreams and stars in his darkest fantasies. Sienna is his sunshine in the darkness. He wants to her to be happy...and he knows that would never be with a man like him. A man with darker, rougher tastes that would shock her.

As Squad Nine works to track and destroy a dangerous alien device, best friends collide. Theron introduces Sienna to a world of rough, edgy passion that she craves. But as a mission goes off track, the two of them will risk everything for love, for their lives, and to save the world.

Note to listeners: This sci-fi romance contains a lot of action (think climbing shattered skyscrapers and daring rescue missions), tough warriors (the kick-ass ladies of Squad Nine and the badasses of Hell Squad) and a steamy romance (lots of edgy sexy times between a quiet, stubborn soldier and his tenacious best friend). So, if you like it fast, gritty, and sexy, this is for you!

My mother was a wicked witch. And all her spells ever brought was trouble. Since her death, with no power of my own, I’ve stayed far, far away from magic . . .

In a San Francisco struggling to recover from earthquakes and rising seas, and where technology can do things that are close enough to magic anyway, Maggie Lachlan is a computer whisperer. The one they call when no one else can find the elusive bug bringing a complex system to its knees. They call her the Techwitch. But she knows there’s nothing magical about what she does. It’s just hard-earned skill.

So when Damon Riley, owner of the world’s biggest virtual reality gaming company comes calling with a problem that his entire empire of geeks can’t fix, Maggie leaps at the job. Riley Arts is the kind of place she feels at home. Wall-to-wall tech. No magic. Except, perhaps, for the unsettling chemistry she has with the man in charge.

But she never imagined stepping into one of Damon’s games would reveal her mother lied about Maggie’s magic. Or that technology could break a spell she never knew she was under. Now she has a demon hunting her and a whole world she knows nothing about to navigate. To save herself—and the world—she needs to learn fast.

Because, when it comes to magic, too many games are wicked. And if you lose, the price can be very, very high . .

Darklight On ... Keri Arthur

Today's Darklight On is ... Keri Arthur

Welcome, Keri




You’ve now written over forty-five novels—do you ever struggle to put words on the page?

I struggle.

Every. Single. Book.

Seriously, I don’t think there’s an author out there who doesn’t experience this at some point (well, maybe not Nora Roberts—that woman is a writing machine!) For me, it usually hits about 2/3rds of the way through the book and feels like it’d be easier to pull my teeth out than to get words onto the page.

When this happens, I usually start by going back a couple of chapters and doing a read-through, editing along the way. This will often boot the muse into gear. But if it doesn’t, then I slash my daily word count and just tell myself it’s all about getting some words on the page, and it doesn’t matter how few or how bad they are.

There are plenty of other options that may help if you get stuck. Though I tend not to do it myself (too many tight deadlines), switching to another book will often clear the blockage. Or you could try my famous last resort—when all else fails, kill somebody. In a book sense, of course. J Think of the worst possible thing that could happen to your hero/heroine at that point, and do it. Sometimes the lack of words is the muse silently trying to tell you the story is slow/going in the wrong direction/needs something to happen. 


If there is one bit of advice you could give new writers, what would it be?

Only one? Seriously, that’s not going to happen.

1—first and foremost, write what you love! Don’t chase trends. Don’t write something just because you think it’ll be the best way to make money. You have to love what you’re doing if you’re going to survive in this business for any length of time.

2—writing is a business. Treat it as such. Be professional in every aspect.

3—if you’re self-publishing, take the time and effort to put out the best product you absolutely can.  Yes, it’s expensive to get good covers, and editors/copy editors/proof readers aren’t cheap, but trust me, it’s worth it in the long run.

4—this may be somewhat controversial to some, but don’t switch and change genres book to book. Not when you’re trying to build your career. Readers like knowing they’re going to get a certain type of read from an author, so if you’re constantly chopping and changing, it’ll take far longer to build a good following.

5—if you’re going the traditional route, read that contract carefully! Or, better yet, get an agent or literary lawyer to go through it for you. Understand every clause. Understand what those clauses could mean for you not just for this book, but also for future books. There are some horrendous clauses sneaking into contracts these days—and I’m not kidding when I say they could destroy your career in the far distant future. One such clause helped bring down my trad career.


What’s next for Keri Arthur?

I’ve just sent Burn—book 3 of the Kingdoms of Earth & Air series—to my editor, and I’m currently writing Wicked Wings, the 5th book in the Lizzie Grace series. 

My next release is Demon’s Dance, book 4 of the Lizzie Grace series, which comes out Feb 12th.


Demon's Dance

After dealing with human hunters killing werewolves for their pelts and a heretic witch determined to
claim the wild magic for his own, the last thing either Lizzie Grace or Belle Kent need is a new evil burning into town.

When Lizzie’s asked to find a missing woman, she’s well aware death awaits. What she doesn’t expect to find is a very human pile of skin next to the woman’s body. Nor does she expect to be called to a murder scene that has the classic hallmarks of a vampire attack… except the bite marks don’t match any recorded vampire bite. 

As the body count grows, Lizzie, Belle, and Aiden struggle to find—and stop—whoever or whatever is behind the atrocities. But there’s an even greater danger on the horizon.

The newly appointed reservation witch has arrived… and it’s someone Lizzie knows.
