Come join us for the launch of Burden of Faete by Ligia de Wit.

The line between triumph and tragedy is as fragile as a twist of faete.
Ryanne’s quest to unearth the elusive spark of creation within Titus that holds the fae’s salvation isn’t going exactly as planned. After all Ryanne wasn’t supposed to fall for the pirate. Her fae mentors warned her she could lose her humanity if she gets too close to the bradaís, eternal foes of the fae. But how do they expect her to complete her mission without getting too involved? It would be so much easier if Titus didn’t make her feel safe . . . and excited.
Titus seeks solace in Ryanne’s arms, the one person who can soothe his darkness within. Haunted by his past, he is determined to remain hidden, away from the relentless fae and the ruthless bradaís alike. Confronting either could spell disaster for the fragile peace he’s found with Ryanne.
Ryanne finds herself ensnared in a deadly game of fae and bradaís. The conflict threatens to crush her spirit and twist her fate with a darkness that is beyond anything she’s encountered before. Can she conquer her fears and stand against the most powerful of the bradaís while still protecting her beloved fae?
After all, she is no longer caílin—a child to the fae. Yet, it seems she may no longer be entirely human either.

Cover Reveal of Madness of People

Cover Reveal Time
It’s time to celebrate the cover reveal for Madness of People by Shelly Campbell and Megan King. Finally, we’ve got book two in the Sol Survivors series so we can journey with Iris and see what’s happened to her little town after the full-blown rebellion at the end of book one, Knowledge Itself. If you need book one to catch up, you can get it here.
Back Cover Copy

Iris Ecosia’s world has ended more than once. The first time, she was too young to remember. Solar flares wiped out electrical grids and whittled her stiff-collared community into a seller of data and rare books. The second time, Iris’s beloved Uncle Nate used her as a catalyst to thrust her people into a civil war that ousted their greedy CEO David Kahn, but left their town, Painted Bluff, broken and defenseless.

Iris is not about to let her world end a third time. She’s a community leader now, and presses to forge an alliance with the starving but well-armed marauders who stalk Painted Bluff’s borders.

But she’s not the only one making deals. Robert Lycos, the boy she’s loved for as long as she can remember sees another solution: a partnership with a coal company. Iris is horrified when Robert admits to volunteering as hostage to expedite the deal.

When Kahn escapes imprisonment and makes a deal of his own, everything both young people have built topples. Now the race is on to establish strong alliances before their old CEO gathers enough resources to take his town back and bring Iris’s world crashing down one last time.

Back Cover Copy
Her lifelong wish was to leave her colony world. She should have been more specific.
In the face of an existential threat to her world—an impending alien invasion–Bell Beauregard does something unprecedented: her job. She’s rewarded by being labeled a traitor, sentenced to indentured servitude, and shipped off-world on a half-built colony ship being used as an escape hatch for the rich and powerful.
Bell is woken from cryosleep as part of an emergency maintenance crew, but before she even has a chance to shirk her duties or flirt with the enticing Tas, things go full “oh, f#*$ me!” when a fellow prisoner is brutally murdered and Bell is the most obvious suspect. To have any chance with Tas—and, like, clear her name and stuff—Bell must begrudgingly solve the murder.
But false accusations, unrequited romance, and having to make an effort are the least of Bell’s concerns. Because the killer isn’t content to stop at one victim. And if Bell can’t unravel the mystery, the only way to prove her innocence may be to turn up dead.

Come join us for the launch of A Caged & Restless Magic by Emmie Christie.
Saida is a fox-shifter who gardens magic in each of the five Sense-enhanced worlds, but the Vision world’s magic is fading fast. She must find and transplant magic from the other worlds to save it, and a human on Sound has the strongest voice magic she’s ever heard. Saida fears humans and the touch of their hands, but she might have to make an exception for Alesio.
Alesio is an ex-cage match fighter and aspiring singer. All he wants is to sing at the best concert hall in town, but his old gang haunts him, trying to make him return to fighting, and his partial deafness makes him doubt his dream. He never imagined meeting someone like Saida or traveling to different worlds.
Meanwhile, by accident, Saida opens a portal to a different Plane than the Sense worlds altogether and releases a monster: a monster hungry for her magic. She needs to find enough transplants to save Vision while running from the monster; but what she fears the most is the trust and attraction blossoming between her and Alesio.

But their insecurities and fears prevent them from stopping another murder. They need to get it together. If their magic and sister bond isn’t strong enough, their town will fall to darkness along with everything they hold dear.

Cover Reveal Time

It’s time to celebrate the cover reveal for November’s Dawn by debut author C.T. Moshage. This is one for all of you YA dystopian fans.
Back Cover Copy
Years after the mysterious death of her father, sixteen-year-old Josie Owens wants nothing more than to carry on his legacy as an engineer aboard November’s Dawn. This colossal walking ark has traveled the bottom of the oceans carrying the last remnants of humanity after an all-consuming flood. But Josie’s dreams drown when she discovers the secret her father died for: the ark was never meant to stay submerged.
This knowledge makes Josie, and those she loves, an instant target to those who would sacrifice anything to keep the status quo from changing and to those who want nothing more than to upend the firm hierarchy. At the same time, a glitch in the navigation system sends November’s Dawn directly toward a miles deep trench.
Faced with a multitude of challenges, Josie wonders if pursuing her father’s last wishes is worth the cost. Corruption and injustice permeate the last vestiges of humanity, but what if the great unknown of the world above is worse than their fragile existence below? If she follows her father’s vision, the ark could be destroyed on the surface. If she follows the rebels, revolution could tear the ark apart from within.
One way or another, Josie is the only one with the knowledge to make the final decision. If she makes the wrong one, not only will the ark fail, but the last spark of humanity will fade into darkness.

The Dark hungers for Ksara.

It has plagued her since she was a child. She is desperate to control it. As a Land Mage, she should be able to control it.

But the Dark is growing wild. She cannot pass within fifty feet of a noktum without its inky arms lashing out to drag her inside. Even the most commonplace shadows have begun to reach for her.

Now her brother lies dying on the deck of her ship. Her only hope of saving him is to sail to Nokte Murosa, a city wedged between two walls of noktum. There, she must strike a deal with the city’s vengeful leader, avoid a fanatical cult that wants to own her…

And resist the whispers in her mind. Voices that accompany the shadows.

The Dark is alive. It wants her, and once it succeeds…

It will swallow the entire continent.

The human colony of Anaranjado is a harsh world.

Stefani and Karl find themselves separated, scattered across the planet’s broiling day side.

As this strange family attempts to find its way back to each other, tensions build and power players prepare their final moves. An elemental conflict is brewing, one between the order of Anaranjado and the chaos of Coldgarden.

Cover Reveal for The Twelve Trials of Doug by Jeremy Brundage
2023-10-01 15:00 - 15:30
First book in the Not Quite Legendary series by Jeremy Brundage, The Twelve Trials of Doug is ready to show off its cover. Come check it out and hear a sneak peek of Doug’s journey read by the author himself.

Back cover blurb:
“I would go to Hades and back for you.” An easy thing to say. A much harder thing to really mean.
In an ancient Greek world of monsters and legends and gods, Doug wants to make it on his own without the influence of his father’s reputation. In the kingdom of Larissa, far from the home of his birth, Doug is making a pretty good start. He has a steady job selling dairy treats at a franchise location and Doug’s outlook is bright.
And then Doug meets Princess Larisa, and the two fall madly for each other. But her father, the king, will have none of it. After all, Doug appears as nothing more than a yogurt slinger—not nearly good enough for the princess. Doug must prove his worth.
Under the orders of a dark influence, the king challenges Doug to complete twelve tasks. Doug makes the only decision a hormonal, confident young man can. He accepts.
While Larisa stays in Larissa to search out the source of the king’s odd behavior, Doug takes his nerdy brother Modifixeus on a trip of a lifetime. Along with a gaggle of automatons and the blessing of Zeus, Doug finds himself over his head almost immediately. If he doesn’t find a way to complete the tasks, Larissa and all of Greece will fall to the dark influence.
Even worse, Doug and Larisa won’t get that magical kiss they just know is in their future—if they survive long enough to experience it.
Going to Hades was a given. It was the “and back” part that looked iffy.

So Masika takes matters into her own hands and sets off to find a way to bring her new friends to their home despite the high king’s wishes. But a deal with a very questionable imp painted on a playing card in a seedy tavern, sets the trio on a desperate adventure for help to the Alir’s constant and deadly enemy, the gods of the Darrish empire.
Can Masika, no matter how resourceful, hope to overcome the will of two sets of deities to keep her promise?
Hostile armies, ancient sorcerers, and primordial monsters bar the way, but none is so formidable as … Masika’s most elegant and proper older sister, Meritities.

Cover Reveal for The Twins by Kelly Lynn Colby
2023-08-27 15:00 - 15:30 | Twitch LIVE
The third book in the Emergence series by Kelly Lynn Colby continues the journey of Fauna as she makes her way from cursed victim to badass hero.

Back cover blurb:
Fauna’s familial bonds continue to strengthen as her circle expands. Reconciliation with her brothers, unwavering acceptance from her closest companions, and the soaring heights of her romantic relationship all paint a brighter picture. Yet, an elusive void persists within her. Unexplainable enhancements in her empathic abilities beyond emotional perception leave her unsettled. This phenomenon, seemingly unprecedented, casts a veil of curiosity over her existence.
Fauna, however, refuses to let uncertainty cloud her resolve for long. Guided by the knowledge gleaned from the Collective, she masters the art of managing her newfound powers, adeptly concealing them when discretion demands. But the tranquil façade shatters when her uncle resurfaces, accompanied by a pair of adopted twins endowed with a remarkable capacity—to manipulate fire. As inexplicable fire-induced homicides unfurl around them, Fauna finds herself compelled to unearth the truth behind these events and confront her uncle’s involvement.
Failure is not an option. The twins’ fate hangs in the balance, teetering perilously close to the torment Fauna herself endured in her formative years. The impending peril propels her on a quest to decipher the mysteries at hand, with the lives of the twins, and her own hard-won equilibrium, on the line.

20 Questions with Mallory Wanless
2023-08-08 20:00 - 21:00 | Twitch LIVE
As avid readers, we at Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing have grown bored with the questions in “respectable” interviews. What about the really important ones, like what is their least favorite chore or their favorite flavor of ice cream? This week we’ve booked Mallory Wanless.
Mallory Wanless has always been a massive bookworm. Books are her outlet when the world is overwhelming or too busy. Since having her kids, she’s used books and stories to escape from the day-to-day of stay-at-home parenting.
Mallory started writing her debut novel, Storm and Flame, in 2018. It’s best described as a mix of Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian, Cruel Prince by Holly Black, and The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman, with a dash of Legend and Tella’s banter from Legendary by Stephanie Garber, and a sprinkling of made-up words in a magical world filled with mythical creatures, enchantresses, witches, and demigods.
Between raising very young kids, balancing homeschooling, and navigating a pandemic, it took 3.5 years to complete the first draft.
Thanks to the support of her husband, Storm and Flame finally made its debut in the world on Sept 22, 2022. Since then, she’s published two more books, completing her first trilogy. Currently, Mallory is drafting three different books, all in the world she created in Storm and Flame, as well as sporadically publishing episodes on Kindle Vella.

2023-07-30 15:00 - 15:30 | Twitch LIVE
The first book in the Huntress and Harvester series, A Seed Once Sown – A Misplaced Adventures Novel by Jessica Raney, is almost ready. We want to invite you to be the first to see the cover and to hear a bit of the story read by the author.
Back cover blurb:
The seeds of a legend grow in tales told around campfires and in whispers in dark corners of taverns. Magdalena Verran is a legend, a hunter who never misses her mark or loses a bounty. But now that legend is about to come to an end. For over three-hundred years, she’s harvested souls as an indentured servant to a pair of bickering gods. With her team of horses and an impressive magical blue scythe for a hand, Mags is poised to deliver the last soul she owes, then her debt will be settled and the gods can go pick on someone else for a change.
But life—even one centuries old—is never that simple and reaping leaves behind scars on the families and the harvester. Before she can turn in her scythe, Mags’s past transgressions catch up to her in the form of a trio of young criminal wannabes. Saving them just might be a way to balance her sins. But between the involvement of the gods and the trio’s own recklessness, Magdalena finds her skills—and patience—tested.
Somehow Mags must find a way to avoid angering the gods further, complete her new bounty without adding more blackmarks to her soul, and save the trio of young adventurers who seem determined to wind up dead. Pulled in multiple directions, Mags’s legendary skills are put to the test. One misstep and she endangers the lives of her young companions and her own soul.
