Spaßvogel Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I participated in the Collaborative Writing Challenge's Steampunk project The Army of Brass. (I think I was told that I was responsible for 20% of the final project, but that is just a guestimate). The book is available for pre-order. Worth every penny of that .99 price!

The Marquis de Leech Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 My Catholic vampire story, Pulmenti Gloriosum, Pulmenti, has been accepted by Bards and Sages Quarterly for their October 2018 issue. This one was a bit of a relief - it's damn hard to find a place that likes vampire stories at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas_d_Aquina Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Heirloom of the Rusks, by Lucas d'Aquina (yours truly). https://www.goalpublications.com/store/p15/heirloom-of-the-rusks-print A 370 pages High Fantasy adventure, with rabbits and terror wraiths made of liquid metal. In the far north, there is a small country known as the Flower Valley, inhabited by a race of sentient rabbits called leporines. For centuries they have lived under the protection of the Rim Mountains surrounding them, settled their land in peace and built a prosperous agrarian society with semi-egalitarian traits, and soon the Midsummer celebrations will herald their sixth century of settling their land. One not too much invested in that endeavour is Cinnabar Rusk, adolescent son of the matriarch Claudia - an overweight dreamer who prefers reading about ancient elvish myths and heroes. The time he doesn't spend reading he plots to impress Lyra Mársk, a sapphire-eyed juvenile doe with fur as white as snow... On the eve of the midsummer celebrations, what must not happen does, as a mighty earthquake makes the Rim collapse, and their country is invaded by strafers, creatures born out of living metal, whose magic leporine valour and cunning cannot match.Cinnabar finds himself torn between flame and family, as the world he had taken for granted is falling around him and he struggles to cope with the new reality. A rather fun and non-formulaic story to write. I hope that readers will become equally entertained Edited June 22, 2018 by Lucas_d_Aquina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas_d_Aquina Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Sorry for this update, but I got my first review here. "Cinnabar's people live comfortable, peaceful lives, until the mountains fall and war sweeps down on them without warning... A race of critters almost exactly like rabbits lives in a valley protected by a ring of mountains. Divided by family clans that serve as a caste system, the Leporines are mainly concerned with their harvest, their local politics, and their love lives...until a natural disaster unleashes an enemy like nothing they have seen before. Suddenly, the entire population is on the run and under attack, and the costs are amazingly high. Cinnabar Rusk is a member of the elite clan of Leporines. He's a bit plump, a bit of a dreamer, and a good guy with a huge crush on the most popular girl in town. When the disaster begins, Cinnie rises to the occasion, using his knowledge of history and myth to save his friends and family and guide them toward safety, if such a thing still exists in the Valley. Heirloom of the Rusks is an epic story that contrasts the tragedy of war and abuse against a backdrop of whimsy and fairytale. It began a little slow but, once the action hit, was unbelievably gripping, sweet, heartbreaking, and lyrical. The characters are delightful, fully envisioned, and touching. Each has their own goals, challenges, and deep conflicts. The world is so fully built to be Tolkien-esque. I'm not certain I'm allowed to say "I loved this book," but I did. It put a knot in my stomach and brought tears to my eyes more than once. The writing is fluid and smooth, and my sole quibble would be that the author repeats the same word close together quite a bit, something that could have been easily resolved during editing, and also uses some "pet" words (like purling) enough times that they become jarring and pull you out of the story for just a second. Very minor nitpicks for a story that was such a glorious ride overall. I highly recommend Heirloom of the Rusks to any reader of fantasy, in particular epic fantasy, or to anyone who loves a strong character-driven story and who isn't afraid of a powerful tale that will hit you in the gut more than once."https://furrybookreview.wixsite.com/blog/single-post/2018/08/20/Heirloom-of-the-Rusks-by-Lucas-DAquina Edited August 21, 2018 by Lucas_d_Aquina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.T. Phipps Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I managed to successfully get a Book Bub for Lucifer's Star, which is like the holy grail for Indie book publishing. I'm really proud of my "R-rated Star Wars" and hope people with an extra 99 cents to spare will give it a try. Proton swords, starfighters, android rebellions, and the question of who is the bad guy in war. https://www.bookbub.com/books/lucifer-s-star-by-c-t-phipps-and-michael-suttkus?ebook_deal Edited September 3, 2018 by C.T.

I bought my copy yesterday and made a start, will make the time to review it since it’s a board member enjoying it so far though. You like detailing what clothes everyone wears huh? (Not a criticism, just an observation) I don’t know how sales notifications work, but didn’t it feel good to see your first ebook sale?
