[holo trans] New Series!!!! Bentley

Hi Ascenders!
Ellie here.
I thought I'd reach out to you personally, rather than leaving Oz to let you know what's happening.
[Oz – I'm perfectly capable of explaining what you're going to tell them!]
I know, Oz. But this is special. I wanted to do it myself. Please? Just once?
[Oz – go ahead then…]
Ok thanks.
So as I was saying, you've probably seen I have a new series coming out. This has been over a year in the works, all while I've been working on all the other books on the schedule.
I'm happy to finally announce that we have three ready for rapid release!
What does this mean?
It means we're going to release three of them in a month, and then if you like it, we'll keep going and release hopefully one a month after that.
Yep. I know. Intense.
Anyway, Book 1 -AWAKENING- is now available for pre-order!
I'm so excited.
And nervous.
It's like releasing Molly all over again. I have no idea if you're going to like it. I just really really hope you do.
I'm so massively grateful to the JIT team and beta readers who have been helping out to make sure that it's on track.
But I won't know anything for sure until we hit publish for real…
AGGggghhhhhh!
So I was talking to an author friend and he suggested that I do this with pricing: as you know doing a novel has a lot of up-front costs, so anyone who can buy at 4.99 really helps me out. I understand that a lot of folks are on fixed incomes though, so I'll be doing a 99c sale later, or you can get it in KU.
I hope this helps!
So, if you're ready to pre-order it now, you can go ahead and do that now, with a couple of clicks.
It's due to be released automatically by the ‘Zon on Monday.
Wish me luck! <3
(a very nervous) Ellie x
P.S. You guys are the best. Without your encouragement over the last 18 months I would never have had the confidence to go out on my own like this. I truly, truly appreciate all your support. Thank you! <3
P.P.S. Here's the low-down on the story:
When you wake up with no memory of who you are, you know it’s probably going to be a baaad day.

That’s exactly what Bentley thought.

But she had no idea how bad.

Until she saw the wires that hooked her up to a strange, glowing sword, and an old guy bleeding out next to her.

And then she met the Three.

Three gods cast out of the Unseen World, condemned to make their way in this universe as best they can.

Naturally over their 300 years in space thus far, they’ve devolved into rogues in robes: hustlers with a (strange) moral code.

Mix in Jelly Bean, their android, who has a penchant for getting her crew drunk on tequila, and a Tech-sorcerer who is able to walk between worlds…

…and you’ve got the combination for a rip-roaring adventure in space.
Can Bentley survive when she doesn’t even know who she is?
Will she figure out why she’s being hunted?
Or will the gods ‘space her’ from the air lock, first?
Find out first!
If you like your sci-fi witty and every now and again a little ‘off the wall’, you’ll love this original series, from the best-selling author of The Ascension Myth.
