Catgirls from Outer Space is up for pre-order! (And releases 11/20!)

November 17, 2025 by hpholo Leave a Comment

HEY Y’ALL! šŸ˜€ H.P. – well, Edie – here!

Some Amazon pre-order drama thwarted our timing (We’d intended to have this up three weeks ago 😐), but the bright side?

SURPRISE! šŸ˜„ We have a new book for you to look forward to! And it releases THIS THURSDAY, so you don’t have to wait long at all!

Now, there’s a story behind this book. You might notice some … similarities between this and another title we released last year. šŸ˜‰

That story’s coming, but ’til then, here’s the story of this one:

PRE-ORDER CATGIRLS FROM OUTER SPACE HERE

Catgirls from Outer Space

Standalone (For Now)

by Edie Skye & Jacob Holo
Harem Lit • Science Fiction • Action-Adventure • Men’s Romance

***

A down on his luck spaceship captain?An ex-space pirate catgirl? A catgirl warrior who’s down for some wild … adventure? Only one question remains:
Want to make some kittens tonight?

***

Captain Nathan Kade just wants a quick job to keep his busted-up spaceship limping through the Solar System.

Instead he gets Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful catgirl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. She’s chaos in a tight catsuit, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen.

Not to mention a really nice … tail. He pulls that tail out of the fire, and together they assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. Soon, he’s commanding a ragtag crew of space cowboys:

  • A warrior catgirl who’s as deadly with a wink as her blade
  • A snarky multi-bodied robot commando pilot
  • A sexy engineer who knows how to make a reactor purr
  • And a grumpy, cyber-implanted cleric who whispers with the remnants of ancient gods

They’ll dodge spaceship fire, flirt with danger (and each other), and maybe—just maybe—make the score of a lifetime.

But they’re not the only ones chasing the prize. The Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he’d like a few words with Nathan and his catgirls—preferably in chains.

Guns will blaze. Spaceships will burn. Tails will swish.

And somewhere in all that mayhem, a broke captain might just find everything he never knew he wanted.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with national bestselling author Jacob Holo and Amazon bestselling author Edie Skye in this brand new science fiction standalone. If you’re a fan of wild futuristic technology, wilder catgirls, and spicy scrappy crew space opera, this just might be the story you’ve been waiting for.

WARNING: Catgirls from Outer Space is a fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi adventure romance for men 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.)

***

TROPES:

  • Extra Spicy Fast Burn Romance
  • Heroic Broke Spaceship Captain MMC
  • Badass Catgirl FMCs
  • Smut with Feelings
  • Lots of Snark and Banter
  • Small Harem (MFFF)
  • Quest/Treasure Hunt Across Space
  • Scrappy/Ragtag Crew
  • Space Western

***

NOTE: The first edition of this novel was originally released by Baen Books as Freelancers of Neptune by Jacob Holo. This second edition features additional content and character arcs contributed by Edie Skye.

For readers unfamiliar with Edie Skye, there will be spice and its doors will be WAAAAY open. For readers unfamiliar with Jacob Holo, there will be math but it will be fade to black.

Challenges

Worlds of Honor #8

Edited by Thomas Pope
Featuring New Stories in the Honorverse by David Weber • Jane Lindskold • Jacob Holo • Thomas Pope • Marisa Wolf • Daniel Allen Butler

***

THE HOTTEST MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION SERIES OF ALL TIME CONTINUES WITH A COLLECTION OF TALES SET IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE STAR KINGDOM OF DAVID WEBER’S NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING HONORVERSE

In Honor Harrington’s day, the Star Kingdom of Manticore is the wealthiest star nation on a per capita basis in the entire galaxy. It is home to magnificent cities. Its planets’ oceans and seas—and skies—are open to its people, yet they have maintained the beauty and the magnificence of their natural habitats.

But that was not always true. Pioneers, especially interstellar pioneers, must be tough, smart, and self-reliant, and the people who built the Star Kingdom knew that. They prepared carefully for their enormous voyage, incorporated every measure they could think of, and even so, their new worlds did their best to kill them all. They very nearly succeeded, as the Plague Years pushed the human interlopers to the very brink of survival, forcing them to grow and change in ways they never could have anticipated.

In the process, they became the people who could one day produce Honor Harrington, Elizabeth Winton, and the remarkable people willing to stand in the path of the People’s Republic of Haven’s insatiable advance . . . and then to ally with the Republic, when both of them learned who their true enemy was. In many ways, that fortitude was the inevitable result of a star nation that learned early on that what truly matters is the way one faces the challenges the universe throws at one.These are the stories of people who learned that lesson, and met—and triumphed—over every challenge of their new homes.

All original stories by: David Weber, Marisa Wolf, Jacob Holo, Dan Butler, Thomas Pope, and Jane Lindskold.

Gordian Division #4

***

Written by David Weber and Jacob Holo
Narrated by Gabriel Vaughan
Published by Baen Books and Recorded Books

***

Come for the games. Stay for the murder. 

A mystery in the Gordian Division universe.

The Weltall Tournament’s professional VR games were supposed to be a symbol of cooperation between SysGov and its militaristic neighbor, the Admin. But that was before star Admin player Elly Sako received a death threat, written in blood next to a copy of her own severed head. The Admin’s Department of Temporal Investigation swiftly seizes control of the crime scene, and the tournament transforms into a flashpoint of charged politics and conflicting jurisdictions. 

SysPol Detective Isaac Cho and DTI Special Agent Susan Cantrell—partners in the officer exchange program—are sent in to take charge of the investigation and bring the situation under control. But solving this mystery won’t be easy, and the pair struggles to determine who is telling the truth. A jilted relationship between players soon explodes into signs of a far-reaching conspiracy, and the two detectives find themselves racing against time before the tournament ends. 

Because the killer will be the only one who wins, should they fail.

The Challenges (Worlds of Honor #8) eARC is out!

August 9, 2025 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Ever wished you could read a new book before it releases? šŸ˜€ Well, you’re in luck, as Baen Books just released the Early Access eARC for Challenges (Worlds of Honor #8).

Why’s this one particularly exciting?

Well, it’s a new anthology in David Weber’s Honorverse, to start, but it also marks Jacob’s first foray into the Honorverse, and your first look at his upcoming Edward Saganami trilogy in the form of … “The Great Condiment Caper.”

In which Ensign Edward Saganami is entrusted with a seemingly menial task that, if failed, could affect the stability of the storied dreadnought Ad Astra, as it prepares for a pivotal operation.

After all, even the greats often start small.

What’s an eARC? It’s the semi-final version of the book; it’ll have a few typos, but other than that, it’s pretty close to the final version that will release in November.

But, of course, if you’d rather wait for the finished version, it’s also up for pre-order wherever you like to buy books (and in Baen’s November Monthly Bundle). 😁

However you choose to experience it, we’re looking forward to sharing it with you, and we hope you enjoy it. 😊

Dancing with Destruction is out today from Baen Books!

July 1, 2025 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Surprise! We’ve got a new short story out, this time in a sci-fi anthology! šŸ˜„

Dancing with Destruction comes from Editor Jason Cordova at Baen Books, and has a super fun origin story.

Basically, cover art was commissioned for another of Baen‘s books … but the resulting illustration ended up not fitting the vibe the publisher was looking for.

However, it was still a kickass piece of art.

So, Jason presented this art to a handful of authors – ourselves included – and said, “Hey, want to write a short story for an anthology based on this cover?” šŸ˜€

Jacob saw this art and immediately said “HECK YES! I already have the perfect Sol Blazers story in mind.” But then he looked at his packed writing schedule. 😬 Then he looked to me and said, “What if we make this a Jacob Holo + Edie Skye collaboration?” šŸ˜

Thus we get “The Joy of the Chase,” an adventure in Jacob’s Sol Blazers universe wherein our underpaid heroes take a simple missing persons job on a deserted jungle habitat … and find it not so deserted at all. In fact, it’s a whole lot hotter than expected. 😈

Also, if you weren’t aware of my love for over-the-top 80s action movies, you will be after this short. Yes, I watched Predator for research. Yes, Jacob had to cut plenty of 80s action movie references, and YES, Jason cut more. 🤣

(This is not the version where Nathan + Aiko chase an acid-bleeding monster through simulated vents made of interwoven jungle branches, but I assure you, it’s still cool.)

GRAB IT On AMAZON

GRAB IT On BOOKSHOP

Also, if you have no idea what Sol Blazers is, go check it out! It’s basically adventure space opera for people who are mad that Firefly never got a second season, with catgirls, sassy androids, and maybe a lil’ mild cosmic horror. 🤣

HEY, Y’ALL, and welcome to my re-branding of what used to be the rather clunkily named ā€œAuthor Q&A (and Prizes!)ā€

(I still consider myself more ā€œauthor with occasional delusions of podcaster-dom,ā€ but the people have spoken.)

All that said, I combined a bunch of things I love about the works of the authors I interview, so—ta-da!—we have ā€œMECHS, MAGIC, and MAYHEM: INTERVIEWS WITH SCI-FI AND FANTASY AUTHORS.ā€

Today’s guest is Patrick Chiles, whom you may remember from medical sci-fi novel INTERSTELLAR MEDIC: THE LONG RUN, and who’s back with its sequel, INTERSTELLAR MEDIC: THE LONG WAY HOME.

Kailey Jackson never wanted to be a fighter.

All she’d wanted out of life was to be normal. To fit in with Humans after being raised by Kitsoonay, to master the Asur language, to discover their hidden outposts… and to maybe solve the mystery of their disappearance.

But after her academic ambitions resulted in the invasion of her homeworld, Kailey’s quiet life spiraled into one disastrous adventure after another. She became a mercenary, embraced her Kitsoonay soul, and found a new family. A family she would do anything to protect—including bonding with the last Asur Warbird.

With Kailey’s fate irrevocably tied to the Warbird, finding the Asur is no longer an academic pursuit. It’s her only hope for survival. But the Knights aren’t the only ones searching for the Asur, and Kailey will have to risk everything she’s fought for—her old home, her found family, her new life—in order to save the Asur from their ancient enemy.

And maybe save herself one last time.

Freelancers of Neptune Book Cover

Freelancers of Neptune

Sol Blazers #1

by Jacob Holo

Published by Baen Books

***

All he wanted was a simple job to make ends meet. What he got was a mysterious cat girl, a shot at a hoard of treasure, and a whole lot of trouble.

The Solar System ain’t what it used to be!

In the far distant future, Saturn’s rings are gone, Mercury is a gas giant, and Earth is remembered only as a unit of measure. Nearly godlike AIs reshaped the Solar System in eons past, but they too are now nothing more than a fading memory.

Captain Nathaniel Kade cares for none of that. He’s but a simple freelancer from the orbital ring of Neptune, struggling to make ends meet and to keep his understaffed spaceship from falling apart. All he wants is a decent, uneventful job to help put his finances back in order.

What he receives instead is Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful cat girl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. Vessani’s in over her head and is clearly more trouble than she’s worth, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen.

Nathan pulls her butt out of the fire, and together they begin to assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. But other interested parties have their eyes on the same prize; the Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he’d like a few words with Nathan and his new crewmember.
