Medusa Falling Is Here

Medusa Falling Is Here

Are you ready to go along for the ride as Marlee rocks the foundations of yet another alien civilization? MEDUSA FALLING is now available at all retailers in ebook and paperback.

If you pre-ordered the ebook, it should be waiting for you right now on your ereader device or app. (Note: if you pre-ordered directly from my web store, you should have an email from BookFunnel with a link to download your book; if not, go to my.bookfunnel.com and login with the email you used to pre-order.)

You can get the paperback from Amazon, Barnes & Noble’s website and many other online bookstores, or you can order a signed copy directly from me. The hardback is slightly delayed for technical printer reasons and will be available soon.

Audiobook listeners: Pyper Down has already started recording! If you want to listen to the chapters as she records them, you can join my Buy Me A Coffee (Concord level).

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

“Can I ask where we’re going?”

“Someplace safe…as safe as anywhere on this broken, fallen world can be.”

A first contact encounter isn't supposed to kick off with a dead body.

Ambassador Marlee Marano has been dispatched to Belarria as part of a Concord initiative to meet new species and build alliances. But when an assassin murders her counterpart in front of her eyes and takes her hostage, she is plunged into an alien world on the brink of collapse.

With no way to contact Concord or get offworld, Marlee’s only allies may be a shadowy band of rebels with a questionable agenda steeped in government conspiracies, mysterious genetic experiments and bloody historical grievances that threaten to boil over. The rightness of their cause is the least of her concerns, though, for she finds herself wanted for murder and hunted by all sides.

Medusa Falling is a heart-pumping sci-fi adventure that will take you on a roller-coaster ride of twists and turns as Marlee races to uncover the secrets and lies of a captivating but deadly alien culture and find a way home.

I Have a Question For You

I Have a Question For You

Okay, I have two questions. First, have you preordered MEDUSA FALLING yet? It will be here in one short month! Grab it now, and it will be waiting for you on your ereader on August 1st (also, note that preordering a hardback before release is the only way to get a signed copy). PREORDER MEDUSA FALLING

Now for the second question. Since this is a stand-alone novel, I’m hoping to entice many new readers into the universe of Amaranthe. With that in mind, would you like to participate in the Medusa Falling Launch Team and help me make the book’s release the best ever?

Not sure what that means? Well, you click the link below to register your interest, and if you’re a good fit, I'll send you the ebook of Medusa Falling before it's released. All I ask in exchange is that you leave an honest review on your preferred bookstore site - be that Amazon, or Apple Books, or Kobo, or Google Play, or Barnes & Noble, etc, along with review sites like Goodreads if you're a member. The more sites, the better! If you post or tweet about books often, sharing news of the book release is also a great way to spread the word.

MEDUSA FALLING takes place three years after the end of Duality. It’s a fun, fast-paced adventure (that clocks in under 100k words!) and is intended to be a new entry point for readers - so if you have someone you’ve been trying to convince to read the Amaranthe novels, this is an excellent opportunity to get them hooked.

Expect a bonanza of teasers and other reveals as we get closer to release. Who’s hyped? (I am, obviously. Hopefully you will be, too.)
