Aetherborne Book 2: The Oblivion Valley Oddity has arrived on Kindle. Yes, it has finally become a series, and this time around, we're doing something unabashedly audacious: let's make fun of venerable weird fiction classics like H. P. Lovecraft or Clark Ashton Smith and entertain the idea that one's cosmic horror is just somebody else's lousy day on the job.

Keen observers may notice that it is not "next weekend", as it took me a bit longer than expected to finish up—not much of a surprise there. As of posting this, it's also been a few days already since Book 2 was published, which isn't quite as much of a bungle as it may seem, as nobody appears to read this blog anyway. It's really just here for flavour, I suppose.

Anyway, head over to Amazon, grab The Oblivion Valley Oddity and enjoy a small-time sci-fi writer's feeble homage to the heavyweights (may contain minor parody of their antiquated philosophies, read at your own risk).

New Edition of Aetherborne Book 1... And More to Come!

The second edition of Aetherborne Book 1: A Tale from Elsewhere is now available on Amazon. Most obviously, it comes with new (hopefully much nicer) cover art, but I also changed and fixed a couple of details about the book itself.

More importantly, though, this update harbingers the upcoming release of Aetherborne Book 2: The Oblivion Valley Oddity, which I suppose will officially make this a series—as originally intended almost exactly four years ago when I first published Book 1, naively believing I would get around to finish a sequel “soon”. That timeframe alone makes me somewhat reluctant to promise an actual release date for Book 2, but it might or might not drop next weekend(-ish).

I’m also using this opportunity to temporarily make Book 1 Amazon-exclusive… again. Once more, I’d like to try the associated promotion tools, hoping they might be useful to reach a slightly wider audience with this new edition. Honestly, I’m really just messing around when it comes to promotion and marketing strategies, I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing. It will probably be available in other formats again at some point; “soon”, I suppose?
