About two weeks ago, I sketched out a very rough outline for the sequel to House of Refuge featuring the return of Justin Agnarsson and Sandra Vietes in a new adventure, this time pitted against an enemy even more monstrous than the Argentine sailors who murdered Sandra’s family. The new novella will introduce the reader to […]
On the off chance you haven’t gotten fed up with hearing Shell and I interviewed about our books, you’ll want to tune into Anthony Caprio’s excellent Free Cities podcast, especially if you are of a libertarian persuasion. In this episode, we focus primarily on our non-superhero stories, House of Refuge and Salamander Six. We also […]
As you well know by now, the Ascension Epoch is rooted in public domain stories and characters. The most obvious and probably the most influential on the backstory is H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, but most of our other stories at least reference other public domain works, if they’re not based on them explicitly. […]
To properly celebrate the new year, every single Ascension Epoch e-book is now on sale for only $0.99 on Amazon. This special deal will only last until January 13th, so hurry, hurry, hurry!

His project, Unglue.It, is a website where authors can post “unglued” ebooks–that is, ebooks that have been released under Creative Commons licenses. Just as important, it’s a […]
As of today, Population of Loss and House of Refuge are no longer KDP select titles. You can still get them on Amazon, of course, but we’ve ended their exclusivity as a way to make them available to more people. Both books were very successful during their ‘free’ days on KDP, moving about 350 and […]
I just wanted to remind everyone that House of Refuge is available for free today until Monday on the Kindle. That’s “free” as in beer. It was always “free” as in Linux. If you want to know more about our award-winning short story of life and death on the seasteads of the South Atlantic, you […]
The award-winning tale of heroic adventure at sea (and our very first published Ascension Epoch book), House of Refuge, will be available for free on Kindle from Thursday, March 26th through Monday, March 30th. If you haven’t read the story of Atlantic Littoral stationkeeper Justin Agnarsson and the war-torn Vietes family yet and don’t want […]
