They say that truth is stranger than fiction and that’s certainly seemed to be true recently. How have things moved on for you since the last ship’s bulletin? Here in the UK we’re down to essential travel only, which, to be honest, pretty much sums up a writer’s life anyway. I hope you aren’t finding the current conditions too difficult.
Perhaps some free books will help you while away the hours? The terms and conditions that apply to books in Kindle Unlimited are a little tricky to navigate, but I’ve made some books in my space fantasy Star Mage Saga free for a short time. If you picked up your free prequel, Star Mage Exile, you’ll know this is the story of the anguished yet courageous mage and mercenary, Carina Lin.
Book one was originally called Daughter of Discord but I changed the title to the more fitting Star Mage Quest. Book three, Wildfire and Steel, is also free today. Book four, Mercenary Mage, comes out very soon and you’ll hear about the discounted price next week, so don’t forget to check your emails.
A word of warning: this is a dark space fantasy that includes scenes which may upset sensitive readers. Even the ship’s cat thinks so (cat pic tax below).

Star Mage Quest
A dark heroine. Space warfare. Magic.
Carina Lin is a mage with a mission. After her parents’ disappearance when she was a toddler, she was brought up by her grandmother. Then the old lady’s death left her a slum brat, alone and friendless on a godforsaken planet at the ass-end of the galaxy.
All she wants is to find other mages like herself, but her plan is fraught with danger. Warring clans are fighting for galactic supremacy, and if they discover her powers she risks slavery and torture.
A golden opportunity arises to fulfil her dream and win her heart’s desire. But if she loses, death will seem inviting.

Dark Mage Rises
A mage clan torn apart
Carina Lin escaped from captivity and freed her brothers and sisters, but she’s been recaptured. Her jailers are the last people she wants to meet: the Dirksens. Carina defied this proud, vindictive family and they haven’t forgotten.
She must break out before the Dirksens realize who and what she is.
Meanwhile, her siblings have been separated, and a galactic war rages. Dark magic is stirring and about to join the conflict.
Carina must reunite her family and defeat the Dark Mage or return to a life of enslavement.
