Hey all, Rules Of Supervillainy is featured in #Audible’s First Of a Series sale! It won’t show me how much it is because I already own it, but it’s cheap! $6.95. https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Rules-of-Supervillainy-Audiobook/B016X128EK It's also a great time to pick up the first of many awesome series. https://www.audible.com/ep/first-series-sale-sci-fi?ref=a_ep_first-_c3_tab5&pf_rd_p=169bf258-0ca1-410b-8710-81e0cf2e1f1a&pf_rd_r=GG16H07ZYWDTH3Q7MZ7K&fbclid=IwAR2raOIX9Hi7QfUgacVYAAj6VrIS59mFlTaAjxCrftA-JqtpaEJI3xSaXUc

I have but it's all in one series that outsells all the others. It worries me at times.

BLACKEST KNIGHTS is now available on Kindle for purchase. It's a great anthology which a lot of great indie authors. https://www.amazon.com/Blackest-Knights-C-T-Phipps-ebook/dp/B07J2QS57T/

Broke the top 200 of Amazon sales for the first time. Am very proud.

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

I WAS A TEENAGE WEREDEER and AN AMERICAN WEREDEER IN MICHIGAN is now available audiobook, paperback, and ebook form. https://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Weredeer-Bright-Falls-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B075TTN2FN/ https://www.amazon.com/American-Weredeer-Michigan-Bright-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B076DPQVH6/ Do you find shifters deerlightful? Are you ready to break out of the herd? Then read the Bright Falls Mysteries!

New comedic urban fantasy out! I WAS A TEENAGE WEREDEER. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075TTN2FN OH and that's an awesome article, Richard Writhen. I totally agree, being an author of grimdark science fiction myself!

Did a look over THE HISSING BLADE's beginning, Richard, and liked what I saw! I recently had an excerpt released for Lucifer's Star by the Tattooed Book Geek! The first few chapters. https://thetattooedbookgeek.wordpress.com/2017/05/31/book-extract-lucifers-star-lucifers-star-1-by-c-t-phipps/

I'm pleased to say that BOOK WRAITHS did a great review of my latest novel: Lucifer's Star which is my "R-rated Star Wars" https://bookwraiths.com/2017/05/25/lucifers-star/

Somewhat self-promotion but mostly just happy for a friend, my most frequent audiobook narrator, JEFFREY KAFER, got honored by Audible today with his work shown on their 'Stars of Audio.' It's selfish because two of my books were shown among his best. https://www.audible.com/mt/NarratorFirsts

I have a nice little article about what I think about STAR WARS and moral ambiguity up at the Fantasy Book Critic. http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2017/05/guest-post-black-and-white-or-gray-in.html It's got a bit of an advertisement at the end but the point I wish Star Wars would embrace a little more moral ambiguity would be good.

My dark space opera, LUCIFER'S STAR is now available in paperback and ebook format. https://www.amazon.com/Lucifers-Star-C-T-Phipps-ebook/dp/B01MDM9MCT/ From the bestselling author of The Rules of Supervillainy: Cassius Mass was the greatest star pilot of the Crius Archduchy. He fought fiercely for his cause, only to watch his nation fall to the Interstellar Commonwealth. It was only after that he realized the side he'd been fighting for was the wrong one. Now a semi-functional navigator on an interstellar freight hauler, he tries to hide who he was and escape his past. Unfortunately, some things refuse to stay buried and he ends up conscripted by the very people who destroyed his homeland. LUCIFER'S STAR is the first novel of the Lucifer's Star series, a dark science fiction space opera set in a world of aliens, war, politics, and slavery. I've had a lot of good response to this.

My new science fiction assassin series is now available for Pre-Order. AGENT G: INFILTRATOR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFJ5HF5/ “Black Technology has made murder a billion dollar industry.” The International Refugee Society has twenty-six cybernetically enhanced “Letters,” and for the right price, they’ll eliminate anyone. They’ve given up their families and their memories for ten years of service with the promise of a life of luxury awaiting them. Agent G is one of these “Letters,” but clues to his past are starting to emerge while he’s on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the Society’s most dangerous competitor. In the midst of all the violence, subterfuge, and deceit, he’ll need to keep his wits about him and trust sparingly. After all if an organization will kill for money, what would they do to keep the truth hidden?

WEEKLY SELF-PROMOTION: THE RULES OF SUPERVILLAINY by me and TO BEAT THE DEVIL by Michael Gibson will be available for free from Friday to Sunday. If you enjoy dark superheroes, cyberpunk hellish fantasies, and lots and lots of black humor--either of these books will be for you. https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Supervillainy-Saga/dp/1514269392/ https://www.amazon.com/Beat-Devil-Technomancer-Novels/dp/153073455X/

On my end, the paperback version of CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON was released this week. https://www.amazon.com/Cthulhu-Armageddon-Post-Apocalypse-Western/dp/1519054386/

Congratulations!

Oddly, more than a lot of reviews, perhaps my favorite moment as an author so far has been William King (Gotrek and Felix) saying he enjoyed Cthulhu Armageddon in a Facebook post.

The scene in A Beautiful Mind where the Nobel rep says, "We always check with the acceptors beforehand" seems like it was made up now. Which is a shame as it would prevent things like this.

I think Bob Dylan is a good choice actually if we're actually judging people by "music which has social relevance as well as a net positive effect on the world." However, they should have a prize for music. They shouldn't give him the Literature award because of its absence.

That's awesome, THE FANTASY BOOK CRITIC reviewed both my latest books. http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2016/10/mini-reviews-cthulhu-armageddon.html?m=0 The audiobook of CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON alsocame out today. Good timing everyone. Post-apocalypse human vs. monster vs. god vs. monstrous human action! http://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Cthulhu-Armageddon-Audiobook/B01LX4JCHS/

My audiobook editor, Jeffrey Kafer, is awesome. Here's a sample he's just recorded of CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON's audiobook. He does such a awesome job. https://soundcloud.com/jeffreykafer/cthulhu-armageddon-preview I'm really looking forward to the release next week.

No, no, you need to promote yourself more. "My scary YA novel, The Call is out in North America today. IT IS THE GREATEST WORK OF FICTION EVER."

David Niall Wilson (Cthulhu's Heirs, Shadows over Baker Street) and his company Crossroad Press (who have the distinction of doing Brian Lumley and Clive Barker's audiobooks) were awesome enough to think my Lovecraft pastiche was worth publishing. Albeit, I suspect that was because it's a post-apocalypse Wild West world where the Great Old Ones have destroyed everything--it appeals to their inner gamer. I thought I'd share its release with everyone since some of you may actually enjoy this sort of thing. https://www.amazon.com/Cthulhu-Armageddon-C-T-Phipps-ebook/dp/B01KUOM7SI/ I also got my urban fantasy novel, STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON out. It's a parody of how actual vampires have reacted to the romanticizing of their race (and how they take advantage of it) with a vampire who HASN'T benefited from being one of the beautiful rich sex gods promised by fiction. Also a nice serious adventure to go along with it. https://www.amazon.com/Straight-Outta-Fangton-Comedic-Vampire-ebook/dp/B01KNHICCC/ So, it's been a good year for me.

The audiobook of Esoterrorism, as narrated by Jeffrey Kafer, came out today. http://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/Esoterrorism-Audiobook/B01GUAMCDG/ref=a_search_c4_1_1_srTtl?qid=1465590212&sr=1-1 Woot. Glad audible wanted to produce this one.
