Quintus Fox: Bounty Hunter

Quintus Fox #1

by Jason Cordova

***

Bounty Hunter Wanted! Top Credits Paid! Serious Inquiries Only!

Throughout his long and storied career, Quintus Fox has done a little bit of everything. But as the wild frontier civilizes, people like Quintus – and those whom he pursues – will be nothing more than relics of a turbulent past.

To make ends meet, Quintus must take jobs he might think were beneath him, but sometimes a man must swallow his pride and make a deal with the devil to take care of his ship and his crew, especially when opportunities are slim.

Worse, sometimes the devil has your commcode… and he won’t take no for an answer.

Monster Girl Tamer #2 is up for pre-order!

by 1 Comment

Hey, y’all! 😄 These days, it’s not often that I write under my H.P. Holo pen name, largely buried in writing as the surprise best-seller my spicy Edie Skye pen name became.

Titan Mage Book Cover

However, as I was writing Titan Mage, my first series under that name, a funny thing happened: Readers started asking for a monster girl series, and on my H.P. Holo pen name, I’d already written Monster Punk Horizon …

All that combined to result in Monster Girl Tamer #1: I Power Up with Every Monster Girl I Defeat!

Read Monster Girl Tamer #1 HERE!

And now series-finisher Monster Girl Tamer #2: I’m an Isekai Hero! Of Course I’m Fighting a Demon Lord is finally up for pre-order!

PRe-ORDER Monster Girl Tamer #2 HERE!

I’m an Isekai Hero!

Of Course I’m Fighting a Demon Lord

Monster Girl Tamer #2
by Edie Skye & H.P. Holo

A thicc cowgirl with a thicker accent. A bookish succubus with an absurd secret. A demon, goblin, and oni girl who’re as chaotic as they are good.

And they’re going to defeat a demon lord … how?

It’s been three months since Axel Hunter Radcliff fell through a magic portal into another world of dangerous monsters.

Hailing from a family of Chosen Ones, he’s trained his whole life to be a hero. He just didn’t expect destiny to involve taming monster girls into semi-civilized adventurers. Or training them to form his tactical harem.

Or their giant robots. Or their conspicuous anime tropes. Or the geeky succubus “Sexy Wizard” who transformed them in the first place.

When a new minotaur girl shows up at his hot spring, he realizes the Sexy Wizard needs his help, too. She’s been captured by some of her own creations—but this time there’s a twist. These dragon ladies used to be two of his monster hunting friends, Jaz and Pix.

With all the isekai tropes tied up in his destiny, Axel expected a demon lord. What he didn’t expect was Demon Lord Jaspartina “Jaz” Red and her Demon Lord General Tailer “Pix” Weaver!

And, after a mere three months, he doesn’t have the stats to face his final boss.

Fortunately, his magic power grows with his romantic bonds. And he has a whole harem of devoted monster girls eager to help raise his stats.

WARNING: Monster Girl Tamer is a fun isekai LitRPG fantasy action adventure where the hero saves the day and gets all the girls. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

Spice level differences aside, this series continues the same redonkulous monster-hunting hijinks you know and love from Monster Punk Horizon (and the spicy scenes are largely skippable, for those who don’t enjoy that kind of content 😊).

Whatever your taste, I hope you enjoy it! 😄

Power is not given. It’s taken.

In the Tze Empire, spirits and demons rule the wilds, but Ring Warlocks control civilization. For Rimon, the son of a courtesan and lowest in society, Ring Warlocks seem like gods.

Each has their own magic drawn from Titans, and they can do whatever they please, regardless of how it affects the prefectures they rule.

But when a chance encounter places one of the ancient and powerful rings in Rimon’s hands, everything changes. For there is a trick to the rings, and Rimon sees through the test given to him.

Suddenly, he is no longer a player at the fringes of power; he is a Ring Warlock and granted his own territory.

Determined to make sure his prefecture thrives, Rimon must contend with jealous rivals, demons seeking his ring for themselves, and forces he cannot yet name, all while mastering his new abilities. He will prove even the lowest can rise to challenge gods.

Rimon will have to grow twice as strong as his rival warlocks just to survive in this new Progression Fantasy Adventure by Shami Stovall, the Dragon-Award winning author of Knightmare Arcanist!

Book Blast: Rise From Ruin by Melissa Olthoff

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! 😄 I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

Baen Books is #FeralForFantasy this summer, and its latest is Melissa Olthoff‘s dragon – er, griffin rider military fantasy romance Rise From Ruin! (Basically, imagine it as Fourth Wing meets Dragonriders of Pern.) If you’re curious to hear about it from the author herself, I interviewed her about it this past Sunday:

But if you’d like to go ahead and read it … 😁

READ RISE FROM RUIN HERE

Rise From Ruin

by Melissa Olthoff

Published by Baen Books

***

When a prank bonds Harper Tavros to a fierce griffin instead of the dragon she always dreamed of, she must battle her doubts and rise to the front lines, forging an unbreakable alliance to save her country from impending doom.

Together we fly, divided we fall.

All Harper Tavros ever wanted was to be a dragon rider.

But after a prank goes wrong, she ends up soul bonded to a griffin. Now, she’ll have to learn an entirely new skillset before she ends up on the front lines of a war her country is slowly losing.

If she’s going to make a difference, she’ll need to rise up from the ruin of her dreams and embrace a new path. One that includes her accidental bondmate, an utterly ridiculous, insanely brave griffin. But in order to form a strong enough bond to defend their country, they’ll need to keep the pressures of war, loss, and doubt from tearing them apart. Because the only way Harper and her griffin will survive is together.

All you have to do to enter is answer the question at the bottom of the post, which is: “Which book has the best chapter 1 you’ve ever read? (And why?)”

New Audiobook Alert: The Thermopylae Protocol (Gordian Division #6) is Here! 🎧🚀

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! 😄 H.P. here!

The multiverse just got a little louder, because The Thermopylae Protocol is now available in audiobook form, once again narrated by Gabriel Vaughan and released by Recorded Books!

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the cast of The Gordian Protocol got tossed into the same mission as the heroes from The Janus File … well, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

It’s got 🚀💥 exploding spaceships, 🕰️🌌 time travel, 🧨🕵️‍♂️ sabotage, 🧨🕰️⛔ sabotage of time travel, 🤖🔮🧠 philosophical debates about AI personalities, and … Flunky Underling. (You’ll know him when you meet him.)

What’s this one about?

Welp, as usual, someone has been very naughty with time.

When an industrial ship explodes en route to Mercury, it’s initially written off as a malfunction. But things don’t quite add up. The black box claims the ship is 40 years older than it should be. Chronometric dissonance suggests it’s been to another universe. And somebody faked the logs so well only a hardware timestamp gave them away.

Which is bad.

Then there’s the part where someone may have used the ship to bootstrap an entire timeline.

Which is worse.

And now Raibert Kaminski and his team are back in action, teaming up with Isaac Cho and Susan Cantrell, trying to find a newly branched universe, stop whatever’s been built there, and (hopefully) not destroy reality in the process.

Again.

Book Blast: Magelight by Kacey Ezell

Hey, y’all! 😄 I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

Kacey Ezell‘s been a busy bee as of late, as she’s gone straight from deckbuilding LitRPG last month to reverse harem romantasy this month with Magelight, from Baen Books! If you’re curious to hear about it from the author herself, I interviewed her about it last night:

READ MAGELIGHT HERE

Magelight

by Kacey Ezell

Published by Baen Books

***

Fleeing her sheltered life, a noblewoman must trust a warrior, a forester, and a thief to unlock her true power and face her destiny.

Embrace Your Power and Forge Your Destiny

All her life, Aelys of Brionne had been weak. As the noble daughter of one of the empire’s most powerful magic-wielding families, it should have been easy for her to live her dream of bonding with a warrior protector and joining the Imperial Battlemage Corps. But when her weakness robs her of her dreams, her best friend, and the man she loves, Aelys makes the only choice she can see: she takes her fate into her own hands and she runs, leaving her safe, protected world behind.

Now she must find a way to work with three dangerous strangers—a warrior, a forester, and a thief—to escape the bandits stalking her, fight through the dangers of the untamed forest, and make her way back home, where her family and her destiny await.

Only . . . her violent protectors might be the key to the power and freedom she’s always craved. Can Aelys find the strength to choose her own destiny and become the sorceress she was born to be? Or lose herself on the path to power?

Book Blast: Shadow Card Guardian by Kacey Ezell

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! 😄 I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books.

If you’re a fan of John Stovall‘s LitRPG Deckbuilder Demon Card Enforcer series, you’re in luck, ’cause my pal Kacey Ezell has a new book out in that universe, Shadow Card Guardian! I’ll be interviewing her about it Friday:

But if you’d like to read it before then … 😁

Shadow Card Guardian

The Nyx Cards #1

by Kacey Ezell

***

Dania Ellis has faced warzones and Emergency Room chaos—but nothing prepared her for Drop Night.

Once every ten years, the gods give a deck of cards to a chosen few. These new “deckbearers” are capable of great magical feats, and are the top of every food chain, both metaphorically and literally.

As a combat veteran and ER nurse, Dania knows what it takes to fight for a better life. She’s worked tirelessly to build a future for herself and her orphaned nephew, Jake. But everything changes on Jake’s fourteenth birthday when he receives a Drop Night deck—straight from Nyx, the goddess of night.

The deck grants Jake power, but it also paints a target on his back. Suddenly, he’s a deckbearer hunted by forces that would do anything to possess his special deck of cards. But those hunting him and others like him failed to consider one important thing: Jake may be orphaned, but he’s not alone…

Because Dania will do anything to protect her kid. Survival isn’t just an option—it’s a promise.

Fast-paced, gripping, and full of heart, this story is in the same universe as Demon Card Enforcer, and perfect for fans of All the Skills and Goblin Summoner.
