Welcome to the Epimetheus galaxy.
IT HAS BEGUN. Here’s our first location reveal/giveaway for Volume II!
The first minimalist poster we’re giving away is of…Leto! To qualify to win this poster, like the picture, and reblog for an extra entry. Want an even EXTRA extra entry (that’s THREE chances to win on Tumblr alone - and you can enter on facebook, too!)? Tell us where this planet is mentioned in Volume I in our inbox! The winner will be announced at the end of the week.
CONTEST ENDS MONDAY! Don’t forget to like + reblog for two chances to win…can you tell us the significance of Leto in Volume I? Message us the answer for an EXTRA entry!
Last chance! Remember, you can like/share this on Facebook too, and double your chances of winning.
ALSO, THIS IS THE LAST CALL FOR SIGNED PRE-ORDERS. Please place your orders before midnight tonight to guarantee a signed copy on your doorstep by/on the day of the big release.
This is it. We are officially 24 days out from the release of The Airship Aurelia and Palatine First 2nd edition.
Which means the time between now and then is pretty much packed with giveaways and surprises of all shapes and sizes. The most exciting of which (well, we think) starts in just TWO DAYS.
See the green graph radar above? Those question marks represent three key places the crew of The Aurelia will have dealings with in book two. Every week leading up to the book release, we’re going to be revealing one location, and with it, a nifty minimalist poster that we’ll be giving away to readers! Details on how to win will follow with each poster reveal.
And another heads up: we’ll also be doing a Goodreads giveaway for some ADVANCED copies of The Airship Aurelia and Palatine First 2nd ed., releasing soundtracks on 8tracks to get you pumped for what’s coming, and have a grand prize goody basket filled with Aurelian Archives treats. So definitely keep your eyes open…there’s lots of fun to be had in the next few weeks!
Today I won a giveaway for Palatine First, which is a novel by Courtney Grace Powers. If you like sci-fi, steampunk, mystery, adventure and hilarity…you should read this book. No really, you should.
The giveaway was for people who reviewed the book, and you can find my reviews on both Amazon and GoodReads. Though they’re under different usernames. But go read reviews anyway!! And then read this book!!!
CANNOT wait for the sequel.
Go read this book.
You’re awesome!
Some reviews and a surprise (look to the end!)
Here are some of the great things people had to say in our recent review to win contest:
“I instantly fell in love with the characters (Hayden is my favorite!).”
“Made me laugh out loud (and shed a tear!) which is certainly a sign of good story telling.”
“What really drew me into the book were the characters. Beautifully written and full of depth, the character the author has created will make you laugh, worry, scream in frustration, cry, and still manage to leave you with a giant grin on your face by the end.”
”Palatine First was like a Percy Jackson quest, a Harry Potter adventure, and a Sherlock Holmes mystery all rolled into one and thrown into a steampunk world.”
“The mix of space travel, advanced technology, low technology, steampunk, and character development, not to mention a really compelling story make for an excellent read.”
“Palatine First is one of my favorite stories that I have read recently, and I am absolutely dying for the sequel. Any news on that?? Any?? I’m dying!!”

As a matter of fact, we do have news on that. We are pleased to announce (although some of you on Facebook might have gotten a sneak preview last night) that not only is the cover work for book two finished, but upon its release, we’re revealing the second edition cover for book one! Palatine First is getting a face lift, and we think you’ll love it. Both covers will be revealed Friday night at 10 p.m. central US time. Stay tuned!
If you’re a vicarious reader and not using this site, you’re missing out. It’s downright handy.
