Cover Reveal: Gethyon #scifi #adventure #SFRGalaxyAward

First published by BURST (Champagne Books) in June 2013, Gethyon was a 2014 SFR Galaxy Award winner for Most Awesome Psychic Talent and a 2015 EPIC eBook Award finalist in the SF category. Now it's back, re-edited with brand new content and a bonus short story included at the end. And a brand spanking shiny new cover. Are you ready? Ta dah!

Blurb:

Abandoned. Hunted. Out of control.

Gethyon Rees had always felt at odds with the universe, and hoped for an escape among the stars. But discovering he has the ability to cross time and space with just a thought brings more problems than it solves: a deadly bounty hunter who can follow him anywhere, the unwelcome return of Tarquin Secker—the mother who abandoned him—and an ancient darkness that seeks him and all those with his talents.

When an unforgivable act sets him on the run, it’ll take more than his unearthly powers to save his skin and the lives of those he cares about. It’ll take a sacrifice he never expected to have to make.

A science fiction adventure novel previously published by BURST (Champagne Books), and part of the Travellers Universe. A 2014 SFR Galaxy Award Winner for Most Awesome Psychic Talent and a 2015 EPIC eBook Awards finalist in the Science Fiction category. Also now includes the SF short story The Bones of the Sea

“With colorful worlds full of nuance and dimension, characters that walk off the page, and themes that anyone who has been either parent or child can relate to.” J.C. Cassels, author of The Black Wing Chronicles series

“This fast-paced, gripping ride zips through time and space, love and loss, rebellion and acceptance.” Anna McLain, SFR Galaxy Award judge

Although happily settled in the historical town of Colchester in the UK with her husband of 22 years and three little monsters, she continues to roam the rest of the Universe in her head.

#EPIC Brigaders 2014



There's nothing we love more in the Science Fiction Romance Brigade than seeing our members and their work do well. So we're delighted to announce that two books by Brigaders have made the finals of the EPIC eBook Awards this year!

First up is Jael Wye with her novel Ice Red in the science fiction romance category.



Book description:

Mirror, mirror, full of stars,
Who will claim the throne of Mars?

The princess: Engineer Bianca Ross, heir to a megacorporation and the Mars elevator, needs to acquire a mine on the surface to secure her place in the company. All that stands in her way is the mine's charming owner, Cesare Chan.
The evil stepmother: Victoria Ross is plotting to gain control of Mars. She plans to assassinate Bianca and seduce Cesare to further her goals, and Bianca's trip is the perfect opportunity.
The charming prince: Cesare shouldn't get involved. Bianca's visit could reveal the escaped slaves he's hiding at his mine, but he can't ignore a damsel in distress—especially one as beautiful as Bianca.
Alone, neither would stand a chance against Victoria. But together, they could rewrite a tale that's meant to end with Bianca's blood.


You can check out her website HERE for more information about her and her books. In the meantime, please go congratulate her - you can find her on Twitter as @jaelwye.

And the second? Um, well, that would be me. My YA SF (with a smidge of romance) Gethyon - a SFR Galaxy Award winner earlier this year - also made it to the finalists, in the science fiction category. The EPIC has been one of two awards I've been aiming for since becoming published in 2012, so I'm stoked to have made it this far.


Book description:

Abandoned by his mother after his father’s death, Gethyon Rees feels at odds with his world and longs to travel the stars. But discovering he has the power to do so leaves him scarred for life. Worse, it alerts the Siah-dhu—a dark entity that seeks his kind for their special abilities—to his existence, and sets a bounty hunter on his tail. 

When those same alien powers lead Gethyon to commit a terrible act, they also aid his escape. Marooned on the sea-world of Ulto Marinos, Gethyon and his twin sister must work off their debt to the Seagrafter captain who rescued them while Gethyon puzzles over their transportation. How has he done this? And what more is he capable of?

Before he can learn any answers, the Wardens arrive to arrest him for his crime. Can his powers save him now? And where will he end up next?


You can find out more about me at my website HERE.

Winners will be announced at EPICon-2015 in San Antonio, Texas in mid-March next year. For more information about the event and the contest, visit the EPIC awards website HERE.

Congrats and good luck to all the other finalists in the EPIC eBook awards!
