So sorry the bulletin is a little late this week. A series of domestic crises yesterday left me mentally exhausted (nothing life-threatening, but you know how it is sometimes). Now it’s early morning, the sun is streaming through the window, and your ship’s captain is ready to deliver all the exciting starship news.
Firstly, a big welcome and thank you to new patrons, Patti DeLang and Elizabeth Hickey.
Secondly, woohoo! Here’s a new offering in the Star Mage Saga universe, exclusive to shipmates. This story goes way back in time to Carina’s childhood and the moment she unlocked her true mage potential. Now, if you’ve read Wildfire and Steel, you may have received a copy that included this story as a bonus, but it hasn’t been published anywhere else.
Somewhat confusingly, I admit, the story takes the original title of book one in the series, Daughter of Discord. It’s going to be the signing up bonus for new shipmates, and the former bonus, Star Mage Exile, will become part one of book one, Star Mage Quest.
And, as this is a freebies bulletin, it’s also your chance to pick up a couple of extra free J.J. Green books you may not have seen, which are also only available to shipmates: Night of Flames and Starbound.

Ever wondered what it would be like to live on a starship? It was the only life Ethan knew.
When the colony starship Nova Fortuna reaches the end of its 184-year journey, most of its passengers have grown up aboard ship. They have no idea what it’s like to feel the wind on their faces or get wet in the rain.
On the first night of the new colony, Ethan is one of the lucky few who are sleeping planetside. Most of the others are Gens like Ethan, bred and born on the starship. A few are Woken, who were revived from cryonic suspension two years prior to Arrival.
The colonists settle down to sleep, but Ethan is restless. A strange noise disturbs him, and so begins the fight for his life, the lives of the settlers, and the colony itself.
Night of Flames is the prequel to the space colonization epic adventure, Space Colony One.
