How are you enjoying Liminal Space? Plus a quick question for you.

Technically a second question, I suppose - we’ll get there in a second. If you haven’t grabbed LIMINAL SPACE yet, you can find it at your favorite retailer in ebook and print now. GET LIMINAL SPACE

If you’ve picked it up already, I certainly hope you are enjoying it! Let me know. What are readers saying so far?

  • “How I'm still invested after 23 books, I have no idea. But somehow, the stakes are higher than ever, the adventure is exciting, the plot threads feel new, and the bad guys are ultra bad. I couldn't be more pleased with this book!”

  • “Wow - what a start to the final arc in this epic tale. I wasn’t ready for the book to end and can’t wait for the next one.”

  • “I had a lot of fun with the smaller, more contained stories in the Cosmic Shores novels, but reading this book felt like being reunited with a bunch of old friends. I hadn’t realized how much I missed the full Amaranthe cast!”

I’m exited to share the newest Kickstarter from my friend and stellar scifi writer C. Gockel. NOBLE SAVAGES is the finale in the Convergence cycle (part of her epic Archangel Project universe). I know I shared the first book in the story, Beasts in the Garden, with you all a while back - but if you missed it then, no worries. You can pick up the first and second books as part of the new Kickstarter. CHECK OUT THE NOBLE SAVAGES KICKSTARTER

And on that thought, my other question: have you ever bought a book (ebook or physical) through Kickstarter? I’ve never gone the Kickstarter route, because, hey, you guys are all already here. But after Shadows & Light, I’m going to be launching an entirely new universe, and it might be time to mix things up a bit. For now, I’m simply curious. If you have more thoughts than simply ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ comment and let me know how you found the experience.

Next, I’m thrilled to announce that the COSMIC SHORES COLLECTION audiobook is here. Though Medusa Falling, The Thief, and The Universe Within each feature different protagonists, they all take place in the same one-month period, offering a glimpse at a few of the many wild and dangerous adventures our friends in Amaranthe get up to in their free time. Now you can enjoy the vocal stylings of Pyper Down as she brings these fun, exciting stories to life.

Just because the Cosmic Shores novels all tell their own stories, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be wrapped up in a bundle for their own special collection!

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

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

Well, LIMINAL SPACE already has over 100K 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 - everything you expect to see from the sequel to the Riven Worlds saga. 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?

Oh, 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).

THE UNIVERSE WITHIN audiobook is here! Who’s ready to immerse themselves in the dulcet vocal stylings of Pyper Down as you join Alex and Caleb on a fascinating adventure - and meet their new Elakri friends? By the way, before you start The Universe Within, give the prequel short story, EXTINGUISHING THE STARS, a listen. It adds so much depth and emotion to the novel. You can get it for FREE in my audiobook store or for pennies at the retailers.

The most affordable option for THE UNIVERSE WITHIN audiobook is at my audiobook store (if you haven’t tried it yet, BookFunnel offers a lovely listening app that rivals the big retailers), but it’s also available at Audible, Apple, Chirp, Spotify and more retailers. GET THE UNIVERSE WITHIN AUDIOBOOK
