New Series Alert - Olympus Initiative & Alphius Prime

I know... It's been a while since I posted something. I have been very busy working on the latest batch of releases and while they are taking their time I do have some news.

Coming soon will be two brand new series to join my existing line up.

The Olympus Initiative will be getting its own series starting with the first book, One Small Step.

Secondly I am bringing you an entirely new series called Alphius Prime.
Filling you in I am very excited about the first of this three part series titled Of Beasts and Monsters.
I have nearly finished the first proof of the book... and here is the teaser

"Meylon City was known to have been a jewel, home of the enlightened Vu'kno, yet it was not the only great city on Alphius Prime. There was another city, a city where life was not so idyllic. High in the Northern Mountains, in the cold wastelands of the Horik range of volcanoes stood the city of Eralon. It was a cold brutal place where nearly two million Usha lived, scraping a meagre existence from the soils, a place ruled over by the sadistic Warlord Thrax.

For Echo Sana, this was her home and a place she hated almost as much as she hated her father. Holding the bitter title of Daughter of the Warlord, Echo's goal in life was to cause him as much pain and suffering as she could. The truth was she was not Thrax's daughter, the Warlord having killed her real father and taken her mother as his prized possession. After seeing Thrax kill her mother in front of her, she vowed to see this psychopath fall.

Perhaps it was childish innocence to think that Thrax would tolerate her forever and after being caught red handed Echo finds herself sentenced to death by Thrax. Taken out of the city in to the mountains, Echo finds she has more friends than she realised, a young warrior charged with her execution letting her go with the hope she could finally break free of Thrax's brutality and start a new life far away from Eralon.

The path before her is dangerous as she tries to find her way, but there are far more dangerous things in the mountains. There are Kinar Beasts, monstrous killers that prey on the unsuspecting. The truth is Echo will never reach the far side of the mountains to start her new life.

Meeting new and strange friends, Echo Sana is about to start an adventure of a lifetime which will see her change the world even if she is utterly innocent of what the future holds for her as she gains a new title, one that will bring hope to people. She will become the legend only known as the Whisperer."

Proteus Art - The Future that Never Was

There was a future, one where a simple mistake led to hell for the whole galaxy. It started with the destruction of Beletrix, home of the Alphians by their own hand as their scientific curiosity got out of control. This then sent the Emperor of the Apeyron insane as he mourned the loss of his son and set the Apeyron in to Civil war, one that spilled out to the rest of the galaxy.
Earth, Dendritia, Arisal and other worlds were wiped out in what became known as the Thousand Year War.
At the heart of the Apeyrons war efforts were fleet of Harbinger class ships, planet killers and the only force to stand in their way was an allience between Proteus and the Aemon.

This is the last stand of Arisal as the Harbinger closes in for the kill. Vexa, Grand Arbiter of the Proteus fleet tries desparately to save the world before its destruction.
(Merry Christmas Everyone!)

Sneak Peak - Proteus Future Imperfect Saga (Artwork)

As usual, I have been busy although behind the scenes and its time to introduce seven new Proteus ships that will make their debute in the Future Imperfect Saga.

So without futher ado...

Rather proud of these lot although I have a few favourites in Vexa and Kreyo.
Needless to say one of these ships is the anti hero of the Future Imperfect Saga and perhaps could be considered to be the villain of the story. Needless to say this is almost the opposite to Proteus Evolution as we get a snapshot in to the Future that Never was.

Sighs... only 20 more books to write before I get to Future Imperfect...

Proteus Art - The War Doctor

 

Another sneak peak art wise at another new character that will be introduced in the Proteus Future Imperfect Saga.

This is Servey and she is something else all together.

Technically classified as a Super Titan, Servey is near enough 5 kilometers long, a true leviathan. She is a carrier ship capable of acting as a mobile starbase and medical facility for other members of her family. She is of such a scale and mass she is actually incapable of going down to planets as the gravity would kill her.

Servey has 6 docks in her abdomen capable of accepting all other Proteus ships and to give an idea of scale, the ship next to her is a Titan. These Docks offer full medical and repair facilities to tend to the wounded. In addition Servey comes as a package. She has Io and Callisto, two heavily armed Proteus Warships as her protectors and her personal assistant, little Bix. Servey requires another support ship to help her jump due to her size and Bix fulfils that role.

Proteus Art - The Last Transmission

This is the last transmission of the Apeyron shipyard Gallor Sigma, destroyed over 40,000 years ago in what was called a terrible accident.

For the Apeyron of that time, this dark ship was utterly alien and is believed to have attacked the starbase resulting in the loss of over 1300 souls.

Don't judge me, but this image is from the Proteus Future Imperfect Saga (Books 14, 15 and 16) which are currently being written....

I know... I still have books 10, 11, 12 and 13 to write and release... sometimes though I get an idea which won't stay quiet

I am hoping to get a new book out by Christmas, so keep watching.

Enjoy!

Proteus Art - Story Time for the Nibblers

 

Little Rogue has a bad habit of misbehaving and she is very curious about everything, a trait which has taken her on many adventures.

When she returns home to Terris, the Nibblers are always eager to hear her stories and as with all Sentinels, she has a soft spot for these odd little ships.

I thought I would show the Nibblers doing what they do best... being dysfunctionally cute and slightly batty...

Proteus Art - The Ghosts of Delasia

I thought I would throw out a few additional pieces of artwork from my new upcoming series.

First is Soverus. He (yes, it is a male ship) is an Avoran Warship...

The second is a Technical spec for "The Nibblers".
These tiny little ships (if that is what you can call them as technically they have no internal structure) are effectively the Borg of my books, except they are nothing like the Borg.
Each individual ship is a life in its own right capable of independent thought, but they aren't that bright. They were designed as drones, little works ships given a task to complete. The problem was they needed to cooperate with each other to complete their tasks and that led to a terrifying conclusion. They realised that working together as a hive mind they were capable of so much more than their individual parts. Secretly, and almost organically they started to clump together in groups until unbeknown to the Avorans, they became a collective consciousness.
The Nibblers are millions of ships, but all acting with one will, even if at times that will is divided.
As Rogue would say, when they put their minds to something they are unstoppable, but if they disagree chaos will erupt. There have been mass brawls between different factions of Nibblers stretching over hundreds of thousands of miles. When that happens the Nibblers turn to the Sentinals of which Rogue is a member. They see the Sentinals as their closest family and they are the ones who must try to keep the peace.
In general the Nibblers are affectionate, driven and can do astonishing things when they work together, but as a collective hive mind, they are almost always on a knife edge between order and chaos.
They are cute too...
