First off, I would like to apologise for any confusion I caused in the last bulletin, when I mentioned we’ve put our house up for sale. Understandably, some of you thought it odd that we would sell so soon after settling in Cambridge when we returned to the UK. My not-very-interesting explanation is that we’re currently renting and the house we’re selling is our old house in another part of England.
What this means is if all goes to plan I’ll be writing the Star Mage Saga and moving house at the same time. Expect plenty of themes about the stress of moving, lol. Carina is seeking a new home by finding Earth, so it all fits, right?
Moving on to more exciting topics (see what I did there?), below are this week’s two great bargain books, Secrets on Wenshen and Traitor.
By the way, many thanks to new Patreon subscriber Struggle Session. What a great name.

Secrets on Wenshen
A distress call changes everything.
The ship Dewey’s platoon is on responds to the signal. They jump to another solar system A supposedly unoccupied system. There they find a smuggler’s ship. All its systems are failing. Fortunately, the Hospitallers have arrived in time.
But they are not alone.
Now, under attack, their jump drive broken, the Hospitallers are in trouble and running out of options. There’s a planet, Wenshen, in the system. But, as Dewey knows, Wenshen isn’t just unoccupied, it’s acidic atmosphere makes it inhospitable to humans.
Their choices are few.
They can stay in space, and die. Or, they can land on Wenshen and die there. But if anyone can find a solution to impending death, it’s the Hospitaller Orphan Corps.
Suit up. Strap in. It’s going to be a wild ride.

Seven years ago, Rebecca St. Martin took the coward’s path to save her skin. She has lived with that decision, eking out a life as an indentured servant on a space station far from home. Only now, fate has decided to give Rebecca another chance. A ghost from her past plans to execute a daring rescue from the prison bowels of the station Rebecca now works.
Rebecca has to face the same decision she made all those years ago. Could she watch her friends be murdered? Or could she, just for once, be a hero?

Publishing News
Mercenary Mage, Star Mage Saga book 4
I have two announcements to make. Firstly, the first book of The Galathea Chronicles, Generation, is now entirely recorded in audio. When I’ve figured out how to turn the separate chapters into one book I’ll post a link and you can download it free of charge. The next two books in the box set, like most of the Shadows of the Void books, are novellas so they won’t take so long to record.
Secondly, I’m so happy with the progress of Mercenary Mage, I feel confident to announce the publication dates. Patreon subscribers (and the Review Crew) should receive their copies on 26th February, which happens to be my birthday! 🙂 Then the book will go live on Amazon on 24th March.
After that, Carina, her mages and some new, rough and tough characters will enter Accursed Space, book five of the Star Mage Saga.
Enjoy your books!
