Kirkus Reviews The Shadow Jubilee!

Back when I bought books for libraries for a living, Kirkus Reviews was always one of the sources I trusted the most. Here's what they say about The Shadow Jubilee:

A fun, entertaining, heartfelt adventure among the stars.

A brother and sister reunite after years apart to fight an enemy who threatens to destroy their home world in Millet’s SF/fantasy novel.

In the author’s rich, engaging blend of SF and fantasy, Merlin and Kite come into vivid focus as they share the narrative with alternating first-person points of view along their parallel journeys toward self-empowerment as they face impossible odds.

The Shadow Jubilee — On Sale Now!

 

First: Happy Mardi Gras! Second: My long-gestating novel The Shadow Jubilee is now for sale. It’s what I call a “Louisiana horror story / space opera mashup” because I’m the kind of guy who thinks any story idea gets better if you add the words “in space” at the end. At this moment, it’s available in print through Amazon and Barnes & Noble and on ebook on Amazon and Smashwords. It should be appearing through even more ebook vendors shortly, but right now you can get it and the rest of my catalog half-off at Smashwords if you use the coupon code at the end of this entry. 

BUT FIRST: a blurb.

After fifteen years of exile, Kite returns to her homeworld, New Bretagne, where an ancient evil secretly waits to use her as a means to escape from its prison. Kite’s mind can see across reaches of space, a skill she uses to navigate her starship back to the planet of her birth, not knowing that her home drifts in the shadow of a vast and sinister alien god—one that's ensnared her own brother in its clutches.

From now until March 2 you can get all my ebooks 50% off at Smashwords by using the coupon code QN47G at checkout. (All my books except The Blood Prayer, that is, because it’s already cheaper than a bottle of Fanta). The Shadow Jubilee will make its public debut at CoastCon45 from March 3-5, where I’ll be offering the paperback at a special convention rate. However, that’s no reason not to get your copy early!

In case I’m being too subtle: SHOP NOW at Smashwords or Amazon.

Coast Con, March 3-5

Hear ye, Hear ye! I'm happy to announce that I'll be selling and signing books in Biloxi, Mississippi, at CoastCon 45 from March 3 - 5, 2023.

The convention will be held at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center right across from the sandy beaches of Biloxi. It'll feature special guests, gaming, panels, and vendors galore.

Also, I'm elated to reveal that CoastCon 45 will be the public debut of my brand new novel, THE SHADOW JUBILEE.

"What the hell is a shadow jubilee?" you might ask. Stay tuned and find out...
