Revised Editions

New editions of my fantasy novels 'Stones in the Sea' and 'The City and the Sword' are now available for purchase. The changes were mostly proofreading related, tidying things up. In print or as free ebooks from Arachis Press (arachispress.com).

2025

Although I can not absolutely promise it (I could drop over tomorrow, after all), I expect to release two books in the first half of 2025. One will be a poetry collection, to be titled The Moon and the Sea. The past couple years I attempted to release a poetry book on my birthday (April 21) but I may be more flexible about the release date this year. There will be cover reveals and so on over the coming weeks (or months). I am at the formatting stage at time moment; must have them in the best order and so on.

The other book will be the third Jack Mack science fiction novel, written under the Oliver Davis Pike pen name. This book will be titled 'Dim Distant Stars' and continue the  adventures of Jack McFee. More on that as we go, as well.

Beyond these two? I'm sure to write something. Maybe get busy recording too. We'll let you know.

Stories

A quick announcement: we have put up an archive of all* the short stories of Stephen Brooke, both published and unpublished, realistic and fantasy. Feel free to browse through them at https://storiesofstephenbrooke.blogspot.com/ Remember that some are gathered in collections available at Arachis Press.

*not including a couple 'adult' pieces, that may be found at Arachis Press.

Counting Words Release

Today, October 25 2024, marks the release of a new collection of poems from Stephen Brooke, "Counting Words." The book is  available from Arachis Press (arachispress.com) in print or as free ebooks (PDF and EPUB). Stop by and get your copy!

Site and Blog

It may be noted that this blog is now incorporated (after a fashion) into stephenbrooke.com, via a linked tab in the site navigation. If I'd known it was that simple, I would have done it quite some time ago, but I'd been exploring ways to embed a blog instead. This should word just fine and announcements can easily be found by visiting the Stephen Brooke site. Or just come here!

Donzalo Reissue

The all-in-one edition of my very first fantasy novel(s), DONZALO'S DESTINY, is once again available (in revised form) as a paperback. This includes THE SONG OF THE SWORD, THE SHADOW OF ASAK, THE SIGN OF THE ARROW, and THE HAND OF THE SORCERER. All of these component books remain available at Arachis Press (arachispress.com) as paperbacks or free ebooks.

The City and the Sword Release

Today, August 23 2024, is the official release date for Stephen Brooke’s novel THE CITY AND THE SWORD. This is a tale of Qala the Pirate Queen when she was a girl—an origin story, if you will. Although not intended as a Young Adult title, it could certainly be seen as one.

One may order print or download free ebooks at the Arachis Press site (arachispress.com) or go directly to the print listing at our store.
