A Liminal Space Update, Plus The Universe Within Audiobook Is Here

Well, LIMINAL SPACE already has over 110K words, and I’m not even done with the “zero draft” yet! The story has come together quickly and smoothly. This book is going to be so epic - exactly what you expect to see from the sequel to the Riven Worlds saga and more. It also picks up those relationship threads and story twists from the Cosmic Shores novels and takes them in exciting directions. I want to tell you everything - but I should probably wait and let the book do that, right?

What’s a “zero draft”? Why not a first draft? Well, the first draft comes later. When the zero draft is done, I’ve put words on the page for every scene in my outline. But I KNOW that when I read back through what I’ve written, I’m going to discover I have additional scenes to write. And I definitely know (because of all the words I didn’t write) that many of the scenes are stubs: they capture the major action of the scene, but they lack setting and context, which means many more words to write. Therefore, “zero draft.”

More news soon.

Quick question: do I have any fluent German speakers here? I’d love a brief consultation on a project - it shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes of your time. If you’re interested, hit ‘reply’ or email me at gs@gsjennsen.com.

Also, just to let everyone know: the website has gotten a lovely glow-up. The most important feature of the redesign is that it now looks 1000% better on mobile. It should be easier to find whatever book and format you’re looking for. The main page and series pages are much cleaner and more streamlined, too. And if you’re someone who keeps tabs on the WIP word count meter, you can now find it on the relevant book page (currently, Liminal Space).

* A stand-alone adventure set in the Amaranthe universe *

Thousands of years ago, the Elakri were a galaxy-spanning civilization—until one day they vanished. Forced to hide themselves away in the folds of space to escape an unstoppable foe, what was once their salvation soon became their prison.

Alex Solovy and Caleb Marano search the cosmos for signs of an ancient enemy’s return. When they detect a breach in the fabric of space, however, they discover something wholly unexpected: a people lost in time and space, who have forgotten all they once were.

Now Alex and Caleb must navigate a labyrinth of deception and danger on a world on the verge of collapse, as their mission to return the Elakri to their proper place among the stars becomes a desperate race against time to save everyone—including themselves.

The Universe Within is a thrilling sci-fi adventure overflowing with mysteries, conspiracies, and secrets within secrets. On a world where splendor is sovereign and myth is power, truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
