Audiobooks on Spotify, a Dragon Con Postmortem, & More Free Books

Audiobooks on Spotify, a Dragon Con Postmortem, & More Free Books

September has been a doozy! I have tons of news to share.

Did you hear that Spotify now offers audiobooks? They aren't part of your subscription - you need to purchase them a la carte - but they are CHEAP. In particular, I direct you to the Collection audiobooks, which at these prices are just an incredible deal (on average, $12.50 for 30-45 hours of audio).

Since this is a brand-new feature, Spotify's implementation is still pretty basic. For now, just search for "G. S. Jennsen" in audiobooks - or follow this link right here!

I thought I’d share a brief Dragon Con post-mortem report with you, including pictures! In short, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my live. I banished the inner introvert for a week and met so many incredible people - authors, artists and most of all readers. The panels were full of fascinating discussions and amazing co-panelists, and the Bard’s Tower was a joy to spend many, many, many hours at. A heartfelt thank you to everyone there for making me feel welcome.

See many more pictures, with commentary in the gallery here.

Quick DUALITY update, because I know you’re curious. I have blown clear through that 120K word-count goal; you probably all knew I would. I am now deep into heavy editing, which means I’m eating, sleeping and breathing this book. And wow, it is so incredible, I am without words to describe it (all the words are in the book). I seriously can’t wait to share it with you all. Still a bit of work to do first, though! Have you pre-ordered it yet?

Finally, I’ve got a fresh collection of over 75 terrific indie sci-fi and fantasy books for you today - all of them at the low, low price of FREE. Grab whatever catches your fancy today.

The CHAOTICA Audiobook Is Here

The CHAOTICA Audiobook Is Here

Sorry for all the emails lately - it’s been a busy July! I’m excited to announce that the Chaotica audiobook is now available at most vendors. Are you ready for the revelations and reveals? Because wow does this book have them, and I can’t wait for audiobook listeners to experience this special book. GET THE AUDIOBOOK

Apple is being a bit slow to publish the audiobook, but you can check for it HERE or HERE. Google Play is also being slow, but you can check for it HERE. If you want me to let you know when it’s available on Apple or Google Play, just reply to this email.

And a quick reminder: just one week left to get the Collection audiobooks seriously-super-cheap at Chirp, Apple and Nook, and to take 30% off all ebooks in my store (just use the coupon code THIRTY at checkout).

Audiobook Listeners Shouldn't Get to Have All the Fun

It’s summer, and there’s plenty of fun to go around for everyone, right?

First, a quick reminder: the nomination window for the Dragon Awards is about to close! So if you think Chaotica deserves consideration as the best SFF novel of the year, go get your nomination in. :) DRAGON AWARD NOMINATION FORM

Now, about the fun. From now through the end of the month, all my ebooks are 30% OFF in my ebook store! Individual novels, collections, the whole shebang. Buy as many as you like, and take 30% off the (already below retail) price for every one of them. Just enter the coupon code THIRTY at checkout!

Speaking of sales, that huge audiobook sale is still going on (also through the end of the month). In fact, I sweet-talked Nook into joining Chirp and Apple in the festivities. Nook has been investing heavily in their audiobook division lately, so here’s a great chance to check them out if you’re a Nook fan. AUDIOBOOK SALE

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. I’m thrilled to let you know about a huge * free * SFF promotion. More books than you can count (okay, I tried, and stopped counting at 100), from military sci-fi to portal fantasy and everything in between. Bonus, the books are organized by genre and by retailer, so you can go straight to what tickles your fantasy. The promotion ends Sunday, so go stock up now. FREE SFF BOOKS

The Most Epic of Audiobook Sales, & A Huge Thank You

The Most Epic of Audiobook Sales, & A Huge Thank You

Behind the scenes, I’ve been splicing together and uploading all the omnibus collections as audiobooks. And now, to celebrate the upcoming release of the Chaotica audiobook (it will be here very, very soon, I promise) - and the fact that I actually finished this project (with lots of help from Mr. Jennsen) - I am running a frankly ridiculous sale on the collection audiobooks for the entire month of July.

If you’ve ever been curious about the audiobooks and what all the fuss over Pyper Down is about, this is a price you absolutely cannot beat: 15 novels + 3 short stories for less than $20. Or just start with Aurora Rising for only $1.99 - and if you love it, come back before the end of the month for the rest of them!

This sale is available only Chirp and Apple (Audible simply does not let me set the price, though the collections are up there).

More news: You guys did it! Chaotica has been named the Best Sci-Fi Book of 2022 (So Far) by readers! See the final results here.

I am floored. Blown away. Gobsmacked. Other thesaurus-y words. I mean, I love this book; subjectively, I feel it might well be the best book I've ever written. But what matters is what YOU think, and now you've told the world.

I know I don't have as many readers as John Scalzi or Adrian Tchaikovsky or David Weber - but what I do have are readers that are enthusiastic, engaged and who love this universe and its characters as much as I do. Thank you all so, so much.

...now to go make DUALITY even better.

CHAOTICA Is Here

CHAOTICA Is Here

CHAOTICA Cover Reveal, Plus an Exciting Announcement & Free Sci-Fi Books

CHAOTICA is almost ready! I’ll have a release date announcement and more news in a couple of weeks, but today, I am beyond thrilled to share with you the cover art for Chaotica. It might be my new favorite. See the cover.

Remember, you can pre-order Chaotica from your favorite retailer today (or a paperback or hardback from me). PRE-ORDER

So what’s that exciting announcement? I’m launching a new way to share fun extras with readers who want more from the Amaranthe universe. Over at Buy Me A Coffee (think Patreon, but less evil overlordish; also, coffee), I'll be sharing monthly live streams (with chat) where I answer your questions, talk about my current writing and other space/sci-fi related topics, and read an excerpt from the current WIP. ** Important ** - If you sign up, you’ll be gaining access to new goodies, but if you choose not to participate, you won’t be losing anything. You’ll still get a steady offering of books, free short stories, musings on space news, art shares and more from me, just like always.

I made a short video introducing the program; if you’re not able to watch it, you can read all the details and see all the rewards that come with each membership tier in this Welcome post.

Also, I’ve got an epic - and I do mean epic - collection of over 50 FREE science fiction ebooks, plus a bunch of fantasy, horror and superhero titles. The promotion ends on the 16th, so grab them today!
