The Fredamine Project was just the beginning. Shadow dealings and conspiracies regarding variants intertwine until Damien and his cohorts can no longer tell who the bad guys are.

Several months have passed since Blaze and the infamous Variant activist Shudder McKenzie helped Damien rescue the captives of the sinister Fredamine Project. Professionally, everything's great. He's back to working with Damien again and they have a new lead on the three kids who are still missing. Personally, not so much. Blaze has made his peace with Shudder, though nothing between them has even been easy, but his relationship with Damien has taken several steps back. Blaze no longer has any idea where he stands. Adding to the tense atmosphere are the anti-Variant members of legislature who have been slowly gaining popular approval, and the cryptic messages Damien receives from an unknown source.

Shudder's back to his old haunts and his old tricks, trying to raise public awareness of imperiled Variant rights—such as the draconic Horace Act that strips due process during Variant trials—and to rescue Variant kids in trouble. His almost mythical luck runs out though when he's arrested for murder only three days after the passage of the Horace Act and a whirlwind trial and sentencing lands him in the most notorious maximum security facility for Variants—San Judas Tadeo.
​
With too many conspirators on both sides of the aisle, Damien, Blaze and Shudder no longer know whom to trust. Peeling through the layers of deceit and half-truths puts them on shakier ground with every discovery and in greater danger than ever before.

Variant Configurations takes place in a future Earth where humanity is reclaiming its spot in a gradually healing world. This book contains mentions of past abuse, action-adventure style mayhem, and the sparks of a slow burn, series-spanning relationship.

The stars don't think Kell needs answers. He disagrees.

Having accepted his role as the Chosen, Kell plans to sail to Port Hull and seek answers no one seems willing to give him. Of course, the stars immediately sabotage him. They feel he's ready to confront the allegedly evil Lich King and toss Kell and company directly into the Lich King’s territory with no way back. Instead of rushing heroically into battle, Kell retaliates by taking multiple detours on the way to his alleged adversary's palace.
 
The roundabout route doesn't end up being an easy one. With a demon tower, child ghosts, confrontations with the goddess and Ansel's family, and serious talks about his relationship with Ansel, Kell has more than enough on his plate. But he can't put off the destined battle with the Lich King forever, even though the odds of failure are high. Kell will need to draw on every ounce of non-traditional Chosen-ness or this might be the end of his time in Allune.

 MCB has been working on our stories in the background but thought it would be good to give an update on how things are going. :D

Angel has finished her revisions of Rarely Pure & Never Simple, the first book of her Variant Configurations series. We are super excited to see the story polished up, the world expanded and the characters to be given their best chance at a new beginning. She has plotted out and began working on the second book in the series, From the Noblest of Motives. We have a specific image in mind that we want for the covers, and it took us a bit to find a cover artist that will do the re-release and the rest of the new releases justice. Due to that, publication for the books will mostly like not start until next year. Were we hoping to have them start releasing this year? Yes, yes we were.

The last year and a half has been tough on all of us, and as a small press, that means even fewer publications if our authors aren't mentally up to the grind every day. For us, we'd rather have our authors taking care of their mental welfare first, and doing what they need to do so they can continue to write their excellent stories for us when they are back in the headspace to do so.

For Toni's two upcoming releases, As Fire Rains Down and All Roads Lead to You, they are still works in progress. Close to being done, but not quite there yet. As she has noted on her website, work has taken out of her the last few years and it can be hard to find time to write. She is trying though! Toni has been managing to get more and more days in lately, so we're hopeful everyone will be seeing new stories from her soon.

Again, we want Toni to take care of herself first, then hopefully we get her wonderful stories when she's got them together.

Freddy's work has also been getting in the way of them having a higher output. They changed positions right before the pandemic started and the pandemic made their job - which is in the health field at a university - much more complex. They have also taken on other roles since then. They are writing, albeit slowly, so it's more we aren't likely to see a lot of books published from them quickly. Still, they are trying. We're hoping their new move we'll free up their emotional space to write more.

Most of our authors do not write quickly. We know that a lot of people are used to their favs outputting a book every month, two or three. Would our authors like to produce more often? Definitely. But we also won't have them jeopardizing themselves to produce an unobtainable number of books each year. Slow and steady is all right with us. We set goals. Reassess when we have to.

In good news, we have recently signed Evelyn Benvie's new trilogy that she submitted to us and we're super excited about it. We love some good fantasy humor when it comes across our path. We also want those covers to shine. More about that fun romp of a trilogy coming soon!

In addition, Freddy and Angel will be bringing their Lujin series to us. They both want to do some rewrites because the original publisher had not had to work with non-binary voices before, among other things, but those stories will be gracing our publishing halls next year!

So yes, we've been a little quiet, but that's mainly because we wanted our authors to take care of themselves during these difficult times. You'll be seeing more of us coming soon. ;)

Keep up with us on social media!
