Myths and Monsters!

I’ve been working on a number of books lately and I’m pleased to announce I have a story in another anthology that will be released this year. It’s now on pre-order.

Myths and Monsters: A Limited Edition Anthology has a collection of stories related to myths and legends. My story in this one will be called ‘The Oracle’s Guardian’. The book release is scheduled for June 1st, 2020. It’s listed here on pre-order.

Here’s an overview of the book:

Gods are always temperamental — rarely kind. No matter what mythology you study: Greek, Roman, Aztec, Japanese… the gods play games with mankind and often show themselves to be monsters. If you love mythology and monsters, this limited time anthology is just for you! With more than 700 pages of captivating fiction, you’ll be enchanted by goddesses, discover new facets of old stories, and fear whether each new beast is friend or foe.

With stories from:
Raine English
Toasha Jiordano
C.A. King
Russell Nohelty

Tina Glasneck
Mara Amberly
Lillia Hunter
Hannah Lynn
Krystal Pena
Krista Ames

The Valteran Ascension is Out Now

I’ve released my new book on Amazon. The Valteran Ascension is the first book in my new time travel sci-fi series, A Paradox of Time. You can find it here on Amazon.com and here on Amazon.co.uk. It’s also available in Kindle Unlimited.

The Blurb:
He meant to save everyone, not destroy time itself…
In a quest for selfish advancement, the people of Eric’s planet are planning to irrevocably rupture the fabric of the universe. There’s only one way to prevent catastrophe: reject his loyalties and journey to the past to seek trusted allies to help prevent the destruction before it can begin.

It’s a shame that time isn’t his only hurdle…
Stuck on Earth in the 17th century with his ship broken and venting radiation, Eric seeks a lost item that has fallen into the hands of his enemies. There’s more danger than he could have foreseen and his journey has caused unexpected trouble.

He needs to fix the fractures he’s caused in the space-time continuum before he can attempt to go home, otherwise there may be no home waiting for him. And when he meets a mysteriously familiar woman, he’s certain that he’s met her before, even though he’s never seen her face. He’ll have to keep her close if he doesn’t want to make things worse.

Time marches on, and now it’s stepping to Eric’s tune. If he fails, it’s not only the future that’s at stake, but history and the fate of billions.

A Change of Book Title

I’ve just submitted my latest book to Amazon and it should be live soon. 🙂 I’d originally planned on calling it Master of Time, but I did some more research last night and found that the name was currently being used by a Dr Who product (a pinball game). I decided it was safer to call it something different instead. That’s how I settled on The Valteran Ascension.

I changed the series name too, as I felt that the previous one I’d planned on didn’t work that well with it. The new series name is A Paradox of Time, which I feel is broader and can encompass a greater range of story plots. I’m hoping to build this into a large series. I’ll post again when my book’s live.

A fresh new site and some news

I thought it was about time I revised my web site, so I decided to start afresh. I’ve removed my old posts and I’m going to update my book covers to the most recent versions. All of that should be done by the end of the day.

I have some exciting plans for my books. I have the sequel to Silk and Earth partially written (it has the working title of Magick and Madness), and I’m also working on a new science fiction series called Fractured Ascent. The first book, Master of Time, should be out in a couple of months. I have around half of it written so far.

I’ve also signed a contract to take part in an author anthology, which will be out early next year. I’m not sure if I can reveal the name of it yet, but my story will be mermaid-themed (as will the whole anthology).

As for content published under my real name (Mara Amberly is my pen name), I have a project partially-complete for John Wick Presents/possibly Chaosium for the 7th Sea Roleplaying Game.

I’ll post further when I have more news. Thanks for reading. 🙂
