Hi everyone, Just a quick announcement that Starship's Mage: Omnibus is no longer available on Google Play. It is still available at all other vendors. I realized this morning that Kindle was selling the Omnibus at a significantly reduced cost that I was not expecting, and started to look into it. After digging through all of my retailers, I realized ... Read more »

Happy Holidays / 2014 Round-up
First of all, I hope everyone has had / is having a Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas, Blessed Yule, or general Happy Winter Holiday! 2014 has been an incredible year for me from a writing perspective. Late 2013 I launched Starship's Mage: Episode 1, and the response by the beginning of 2014 had been pretty lackluster. I figured this was not entirely unexpected for a single novella lurking in the lost depths of Amazon, so I continued writing the other Episodes. They have slowly but surely grown ... Read more »
Starship’s Mage: Episode 1 Now Free
This blog post was published on and may be out of date. Visit starshipsmage.com for current information on the Starship's Mage universe. I realized prior to releasing Starship's Mage: Omnibus that on a lot of sites, the available preview of the Omnibus was roughly equivalent to the entirety of Starship's Mage: Episode 1.

UK & EU – Heads up on VAT and 2015 Pricing
Others have gone into this in some detail (See Kal Spriggs post on How I Learned to Hate the VAT, for example), but I think that it behooves us self-published authors to advise our readers and fanbases of what's coming down the pipe. Bluntly, Amazon is getting their fingers slapped for tax evasion in the EU, and they're passing the stinging sensation on to reader's wallets. Up to this point, they've been able to apply the VAT of the country of the seller in the European Union - in Amazon's ... Read more »
