Hey, y’all! šŸ˜„ H.P. Here! (NOTE: This is about one of our šŸŒ¶ļø spicy šŸŒ¶ļø collabs, so if that’s not your thing, feel free to ignore. We’ve got non-spicy news coming soon! šŸ˜)

Royal Guard Publishingā€™s so ON IT that Monster Girl Tamer #2ā€™s audio came out before the official release!

That said, if youā€™re into chaotic monster girls, chosen ones whoā€™re still figuring out how to do this chosen one thing, smut with feelings, goblin girls, demon girls, oni girls, minotaur girls, sexually repressed weeb succubi, monsters with names like ā€œRaging Buttlord,ā€ and Jess Trepanier and Daryl Mayfieldā€™s stellar narration, go check it out! šŸ˜

GRAB MONSTER GIRL TAMER #2 ON AUDIBLE

I’m an Isekai Hero! Of Course I’m Fighting a Demon Lord

Monster Girl Tamer #2

by Edie Skye & H.P. Holo

Narrated by Jess Trepanier & Daryl Mayfield
Published by Royal Guard Publishing

***

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

And theyā€™re going to defeat a demon lord ā€¦ how?

Itā€™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, heā€™s trained his whole life to be a hero. He just didnā€™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 ā€œSexy Wizardā€ 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. Sheā€™s been captured by some of her own creationsā€”but this time thereā€™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 didnā€™t expect was Demon Lord Jaspartina ā€œJazā€ Red and her Demon Lord General Tailer ā€œPixā€ Weaver!

And, after a mere three months, he doesnā€™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 donā€™t read it and then complain about the spice. Yā€™all know exactly what youā€™re getting into.)

Book Blast: Words of Power by Shami Stovall

by Leave a Comment

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

Shami Stovall‘s back again with a progression fantasy epic that has big anime vibes. Basically, if you liked InuYasha and Berserk but thought they both needed a little Solo Leveling-style progression, Words of Power is your book!

Want to hear more? Here’s my interview with her about that book:

And here’s the book itself, out today!

Words of Power

Words of Power #1

by Shami Stovall

***

A magic-fueled progression fantasy adventure from Dragon Award winning author Shami Stovall.

Power is not given. Itā€™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 Rimonā€™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!

Visit Kacey’s Website Here: https://kaceyezell.net/

Dania Ellis has faced warzones and Emergency Room chaosā€”but nothing prepared her for Drop Night.

Once every ten years, the gods give a deck of cards to a chosen few. These new ā€œdeckbearersā€ 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. Sheā€™s worked tirelessly to build a future for herself and her orphaned nephew, Jake. But everything changes on Jakeā€™s fourteenth birthday when he receives a Drop Night deckā€”straight from Nyx, the goddess of night.

The deck grants Jake power, but it also paints a target on his back. Suddenly, heā€™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 heā€™s not aloneā€¦

Because Dania will do anything to protect her kid. Survival isnā€™t just an optionā€”itā€™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.

“What spirit do I have to make a pact with to become Finch’s murder mystery assistant? ‘CAUSE I WILL DO IT.” – H.P. Holo (Author of Monster Punk Horizon and podcaster at Author Q&A)

***

The most powerful warlock in the world, Adair Finch, has drawn the ire of a sociopathic wizard.

While building up his PI agency, Finchā€™s sister-in-law, Jessica, comes to him with a major problem. She cheated the wizard, Maldonado, an infamous demonologist known for his crime dealings, and now he wants Jessica dead.

Determined to help Jessica, as well as a few others around town, all within a single 24-hour period, Finch must make a new pact with a creature that can defeat Maldonadoā€™s infernal magic. Unfortunately, very few creatures can do that, and all of them want something drastic in return.

Luckily, Finch has made some new alliesā€”a werewolf, a YouTube star, a budding witch, a vampire attorney, and even a reluctant duergar. With their help, finding Maldonado and ending his criminal operations doesnā€™t seem as impossible as before.

Book Blast: The Last Dragon Knight (The Dragon and the Crow #1) by Tim Akers

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! šŸ˜„ I have lots of cool author friends who write lots of cool books, and occasionally I like to show off those books. That said, my pal Tim Akers has a new epic fantasy thriller out today and IT’S GOT DRAGON WARRIORS IN IT! šŸŽ‰

Book Cover for The Last Dragon Knight by Tim Akers
READ THE LAST DRAGON KNIGHT HERE!

You may remember Tim from my fangirling about Knight Watch and Wraithbound, and now he’s back with a story of a former assassin who wants to live a quiet life – but, between a blessing from a Crow, a curse from a Dragon, and a past that just won’t leave him alone, he’ll have to make a last stand to defend his new home.

Tim’s writing is always fun, so go check it out! šŸ˜„

The Last Dragon Knight

The Dragon and the Crow #1

by Tim Akers

***

Betrayed by his friends. Driven from the land he swore to protect. Hunted by the legions of Hell. Cursed to carry the Dragon’s fury in his soul. Determined to survive.

Corem Holt was once an assassin, before he was a warrior. Before he was a cataclysm in the shape of a man. Blessed by the Crow and cursed by the Dragon, he fled the destruction of his homeland. It was a destruction for which he was responsible.

To his friends, he is a traitor. To his enemies, he is the last real threat in their endless war. Both will hunt him to the ends of the earth. And so he hides. He tries to live a simple life, to survive, to be happy. But mostly, he tries to forget what he has done.

All that comes undone when his past catches up to him. What starts as a chance encounter with an old enemy rapidly devolves into a battle for life and death, not just for Corem, but for the people he’s come to love while in hiding. To save them, he must make one last stand far from home, far from the throne he was sworn to protect, far from the memories that brand him a traitor. For anyone else, it would be impossible. For Corem, it’s inevitable.

Because he’s not just a hero.

He’s the last Dragon Knight.

BOOK SIGNING ALERT! Saturday, October 26th at The Tangled Web (Spartanburg, SC)

by Leave a Comment

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, Y’ALL! David Weber, Jason Cordova, Jacob and I have teamed up with The Tangled Web in Spartanburg, SC for a MEGA-SIGNING coming up Saturday, October 26th! šŸ˜„

From 2-3pm, we’ll be reading and chatting about our new releases.

From 3-5pm, we’ll be signing and generally hanging out!

SOME FUN POINTS AND USEFUL INFORMATION:

1) Everyone who buys one of our books gets 10% OFF your ENTIRE IN-STORE PURCHASE! (*Some exclusions apply.)

2) THEY HAVE A COFFEE BAR AND IT IS MAGNIFICENT. šŸ§‹ (If you’re having a bad day, The Twix Bar latte will instantly improve your life. Source: ME.)

3) Seating is limited to roughly 20 people. After that, it’s standing room only, so if you want to be guaranteed a seat, be sure to arrive early.

We’re going to be Guests of Honor at P-Con!

by Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all! šŸ˜ƒ If you follow us on social media, you’ve already heard, but if not:

Jacob and I are set to be Guests of Honor at P-ConĀ in Fort Worth, TX September 20th-22nd!

The con was a bit delayed in getting its updates off the ground due to staff health issues and whatnot, but relevant information is starting to come in.

Namely, that it’ll be held at the Holiday Inn DFW Airport South, and the room block is now open! šŸ˜„

P-Con’s an itty-bitty new con – and small cons are my favorite because they allow me time to actually hang out with readers rather than spend all my time rushing from panel to panel.

Most importantly, though, it’ll be the furthest west we’ve gone thus far. šŸ˜® (Usually we stick close to home for East Coast cons.)

That said, if you’re on the western side of the US, it’s a perfect chance to meet us in person! šŸ˜„ I look forward to hanging out with as many of you as I can. šŸ˜Š

Monster Girl Tamer #1 is out today!

by Leave a Comment

Hey, yā€™all! šŸ˜„ These days, itā€™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.

Now, monster girls hadnā€™t been established as a part of Titan Mage lore, and I didnā€™t want to retcon something so potentially complex into that world.

However, on my H.P. Holo pen name, Iā€™d already written Monster Punk Horizonā€”and, in fact, Iā€™d already planned to write a monster girl harem parody in that series (albeit a chaste one in the style of early-2000s harem anime like Tenchi Muyo and Love Hina). Moreover, Monster Punk fans have been asking me for a continuation of that series for years.

And I do love giving my readers what they ask for! šŸ˜‰

Since the basic groundwork was already in place, it wasnā€™t hard to re-work my original Monster Punk harem concept into a sexy monster girl series. As much as I love Pix and Jaz, they donā€™t fit the archetypes of the harem genre all that well, so I ended up creating a new cast for readers to follow. (The old favorites still end up making significant cameos, though. After all, I love them too much to stop writing them! šŸ˜Š)

Read Monster Girl Tamer #1 HERE!

Our MC in Monster Girl Tamer, then, is the heroic Axel Hunter Radcliffe. Heā€™s from a family of Chosen Ones, destined to be his generationā€™s Chosen One ā€¦ but he doesnā€™t know what heā€™s been Chosen to do. All he knows is that heā€™s fated to assemble a group of skilled women to do itā€”a ā€œtactical harem.ā€

Things get even more complicated when he falls through a portal into the Dazzling Skies.

And even more complicated when monsters start turning into hot monster girl versions of themselvesā€”Thicc Variantsā€”and wreaking havoc across the Monstrous Continent. Are they the problem heā€™s been Chosen to stop? Or are they the essential pieces of the harem that will help him save the world?

He doesnā€™t know, but either way, these monster girls need to be tamed! šŸ¤£

Obviously, a series of that nature would be written under my Edie Skye pen name, since thatā€™s basically my shorthand for ā€œThis is smut.ā€ (If spiciness isnā€™t your thing, be warned: Itā€™s a lot spicier than Monster Punk Horizon was.) However, I also wanted to be clear that itā€™s set in a world I created as H.P. Holo.

Thus, we have this odd little situation where Iā€™m co-authoring a book ā€¦ with myself. šŸ˜‚

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 šŸ˜Š).

Whatever your taste, I hope you enjoy it! šŸ˜„
