You like books, right? Probably scifi and fantasy ones most of all? Well, I have books for you!

First, a quick Amaranthe update. I had to take a tiny, 10-day break from writing Naked Singularity to write a short story. I can’t tell you about it yet, but gosh is it simply lovely. Now I’ll again be neck-deep in the big finale by Monday. Also, Pyper is about 3/4 of the way finished with the Theory of Everything audiobook, so look for that soon.

Now, books! C. Gockel’s final book in the Convergence Trilogy - which we’ve been following here, and I know many of you are enjoying - is now available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. You can get it HERE. And if you haven’t started the trilogy yet, grab Book One HERE.

The thrilling conclusion to Beasts in the Garden and Intelligent Design

The floating colony of Twilight was meant to be humanity’s future—engineered, orderly, and invincible. But its designers built a genetic monoculture destined to fail. Hana Morgenstern and John Miller fled before the collapse, seeking refuge among the North Polars, a breakaway society as devout as it is durable.

But even on the frozen side of Dawkins, danger lurks. Hana’s discovery of time gates offers both salvation and ruin. These portals can reconnect lost human colonies…or unleash extinction from across the stars.

As a deadly storm brews and old enemies close in, Hana, John, and their adopted wolf Haiiro must choose: die where they stand—or leap, once again, into the unknown.

They will wind up where no man has gone before.

They will not be welcomed.

Then there are more books, all of them free to download. The Fiction Giveaway Extravaganza 2 is featuring almost 50 terrific scifi, fantasy, horror and mystery novels (including many you probably haven’t seen before) for the rest of the month, so load up that ereader. See all the books HERE.

Featuring free books is an excellent opportunity for me to remind you of the many ways you can get my books on the cheap. (Don’t get me wrong - I love, love, love everyone who is happy to support me by buying my books at the retail price. Thanks to you, I get to keep writing yet more books. But I understand; sometimes finances get tight, and though books feel essential to us, they aren’t as essential as pesky necessities like food and clothing.

All of my books are available in ebook and audiobook to libraries through the big library distributors, Overdrive and Hoopla, and library apps like Libby. If they don’t show up for you, ask your library to order them. Then there are the subscription services: my ebooks and audiobooks are available in Kobo Plus (check it out HERE) and Everand (formerly Scribd), and my audiobooks are on Spotify. And of course, if you’re looking to devour the Amaranthe universe and just want to save a bit of money, the Omnibus Collections offer a significant discount over the individual novels.

So what are you reading these days? I just finished up Peter F. Hamilton’s Exodus duology (can’t wait for the game next year), and am diving into Ken MacLeod’s The Fall Revolution series. Hit ‘reply’ and let me know. :)

  • “Oh my gosh, I love this book so much, I need to read it like 5,000 more times. The threads that [Jennsen] has braided together in this book? They’re unrivaled.”

  • “It felt like I’d blink and I had suddenly read 100+ pages without realizing it.”

  • “I’m starting to think there’s some kind of magic happening with these books, to make them this good.”

  • “As usual, she knocked it out of the park. And now I'm going to spend at least ten minutes a day wondering how this is all going to end.”

About that last one - I have not been resting on my laurels over here! You’ll be happy to know I’m already more than 35K words deep into drafting Naked Singularity. (You can track the Word Meter on the Naked Singularity page on my website.)

Now, allow me to gush about my recent book reads. If you follow me on social media or subscribe to my Supermassive Black Holes blog, you’ve already heard me go on and on about Hyperion by Dan Simmons. You can read all my thoughts on it (and why I’d never read it until now) here: SMBH: Hyperion. TL;DR: it’s an incredible book. A seminal book worthy of all the accolades it’s received over the years. It’s literary in a way that science fiction usually is not, but still a thoroughly scifi tale on every page. Since I made that post, I’ve read the remaining 3 books in the Hyperion Cantos series, and I can recommend them as well; they do not rise to the soaring heights of the first book, but they’re excellent scifi novels.

And now I have a set of some of the most beautiful books I’ve ever laid eyes upon: The Broken Binding special edition hardcovers of the Hyperion Cantos. Pictures cannot convey how gorgeous these books are.

My #1 career goal isn't to see my books on the screen in movies or TV series - it's to have a full-out, every flourish Broken Binding edition of the Aurora Rising novels. Or, you know, all of them. ;)

So what about you? Do you have any print books that rank among your most prized possessions? Books that qualify as art, or that hold significant sentimental value, or are collectibles from days long past? Let me know - and send pictures!

The Theory of Everything Will Be in Your Hands On....

** JUNE 12, 2026 ** in ebook, paperback and hardback (audio on the way).

For 23 books, the Amaranthe saga has swept you across multiverses: from Alex's dimension-defying explorations and Caleb’s world-saving heroics, to Nika's kyoseil-fueled rebellions and Miriam's strategic machinations. You've witnessed sentient planets awaken, AI-human symbioses redefine life, and unlikely alliances overcome impossible odds. But now an ancient enemy, the Dzhvar, have returned, and the universe’s days are numbered - unless Alex can find a way to save it. Her quest to find the key that unlocks everything will take her farther than any mind was ever meant to venture—and beyond.

You can pre-order the ebook from your favorite retailer today, and it will be waiting for you in your ereader / app on the 26th. You can also preorder a signed paperback or the audiobook directly from me. And did I mention I love the cover? Because I LOVE the cover.

Kobo Plus is featuring both Starshine and Exin Ex Machina this month, as part of a big SFF promotion. What’s Kobo Plus, you ask? Well, it’s a sort of “Netflix for books.” Much like Kindle Unlimited (KU), except it’s cheaper for readers ($7.99 vs $11.99 in the US), it includes audiobooks as well as ebooks, it’s available in a bunch of countries, and it’s fairer to authors. How? Well, in order for a book to be in KU, Amazon requires it to be published exclusively on Amazon. Kobo Plus, however, has no such requirement. This means all my books and audiobooks are available in Kobo Plus - and so are offerings from a ton of talented authors.

Best of all? The first month’s free, so you can try it out and see if you like it.

Kobo has a great free reading app you can install on your phone, tablet or computer, just like Kindle (they also make extremely high-quality ereader devices, if you decide you’re all in on Kobo). So check out these featured scifi and fantasy ebooks and audiobooks on Kobo Plus today (just a small sampling of the many titles available). Click on a book that catches your fancy, and you’ll be prompted to start your free trial. Enjoy!
