Apologies for the delayed arrival of the ship’s bulletin. Our starship relocated to a village a few miles outside Cambridge yesterday, and your captain was just too darned busy and, later, tired to write.
Thanks once again if you were one of the kind shipmates who sent tips for moving house! Your advice definitely helped to make the process smooth and fairly stress-free.
What’s up this week? Well, The Valiant is almost here for patrons! This new series, Star Legend, is set about two thousand years in the future and involves three factions competing for control of Earth, with a heavy dose of British mythology. I’m completing some last-minute tweaks but I’m hoping to get the book out in the next few days.
For The Valiant’s blurb, see Publishing News below. There’s still time to sign up for a copy if you don’t shop at Amazon or don’t want to wait until December. (Also below is a photo of autumn’s arrival here in the UK.)
Another exciting event this week is a quick price drop on the story of star mage Carina Lin. You might have already met Carina in the free prequel Daughter of Discord. At the end of Sept, books 1 – 3 of Star Mage Saga went on sale, and now the boxset of books 4 – 6 has joined in the fun.

Carina Lin is a slum brat turned merc, with a twist. She’s also a mage, and she’s about to risk everything.
Carina would love to use her mage powers when she fights. If only life were that simple. In her part of the galaxy, mages live in fear of discovery. Slavery and torture are the best they can expect.
When a young boy is kidnapped and Carina embarks on a suicidal mission to save his life, she faces a terrible decision. For the rescue plan to succeed, she must Cast. But if she does, it could mean the end of everything for her.
So begins the dark, exciting space fantasy, Star Mage Saga.

Do mercenaries and mages mix?
Carina Lin has fought torturers, vengeful clans, and the forces of darkness to free her mage family, but her fight is not over yet.
She returns to the planet where she discovered clues to mage history and lore, hoping to find the way back to Earth and a new home.
But waiting for her is the clan she escaped, and they want nothing more than to enslave the mages and use them as weapons in never-ending clan warfare.
She enlists the help of her old mercenary band, the Black Dogs, for protection and to uncover the ancient secrets she seeks. Battle-hardened men and women must work with the pampered adolescent mages, and Carina is torn between her old and new lives.
The evil clan is closing in. Can she find what she needs in time to escape to the stars?

King Arthur in outer space?
Endless warfare has ravaged Earth, and billions are desperate for escape. One of them is Taylan Ellis.
Driven from her home in the West Britannic Isles by an invasion and severed from her children, Taylan enlists with the Britannic Alliance, hoping she can help regain her homeland and find her kids.
But decades of internal conflict and terrestrial and space warfare have left the BA on the edge of collapse.
Then its battleship, the Valiant, picks up a distress signal. The rescuers break into a sealed chamber and find the apparently mummified remains of an Iron Age chieftain. Disappointed, they’re about to leave when they discover the ‘mummy’ has a pulse.
Taylan suspects she knows who the mystery man is and what he’s capable of. If she’s right, can she convince her superiors and save the BA, her country, and her children?
The Valiant is book one in J.J. Green’s new space fantasy series, Star Legend.
