There’s No Such Thing as Werewolves

When the moon is full, Jack changes…and not for the better!

Jack Hughes is cursed. Each full moon, he turns into a blood-crazed, hairy, wolf-headed creature. He’s learned to cope by locking himself in a cell each night to keep the creature from breaking free. It’s a dark secret he’s not willing to share with anyone. Then one moon-bright night, the creature inside him breaks free of its cell.

Sorceress Anna Brown is one of the leading experts on demons for the Arcanists. She knows Jack’s secret and how to help him…if he’ll let her. But the local demon lord is after Anna. She has a power he wants to control. Does she have enough magic to save Jack and keep the demons at bay?

There’s No Such Thing as Werewolves is book 1 of the Demon Gate Chronicles, a romantic urban fantasy series with demons, witches, ancient evil, and definitely NO werewolves…maybe.

It’s the perfect time of year for something a bit spooky, and to celebrate, Ive joined with some other great Paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy romance authors to offer some great deals on perfect book for October.

The Instrument of Treachery

By S. C. Mitchell

Can a man from the past save the future?

Embark on an otherworldly journey as time bends and destinies collide.

Archanist Kim Wakefield, thrust 3,000 years into the past, finds herself entangled in the mystical tapestry of doomed Atlantis. With knowledge of impending demon attacks and the looming cataclysm that will swallow the island whole, she grapples with her helplessness. Can she survive the unforgiving past and find a way back to her own time?

Merc’vel Hove, an esteemed Atlantean council member and aspiring sorcerer, receives a divine mandate from the goddess Gaia herself. Charged with constructing a gateway to another dimension, he unknowingly opens a portal to the treacherous demon realm of Ballor, allowing nefarious creatures to spill into their world. Is he the unwitting Instrument of Treachery responsible for the impending doom of all?

“The Instrument of Treachery” unveils itself as the fourth installment in the spellbinding Demons Gate Chronicles. Within its pages, a tale of love, tragedy, and triumph unfolds against the backdrop of a perilous world teetering on the brink of annihilation. Prepare to be enraptured by a realm where love defies time, tragedy lurks at every corner, and triumph arises from the depths of despair. Dive into this mesmerizing saga that treads the delicate threads of fate, where peril and passion intertwine in a dance of cosmic proportions.

Hi readers,

If you’ve been following the weekly chapters I’ve been dropping on Kindle Vella for Instrument of Treachery, you know we’re approaching the end point. Well today I finally reached “The End.”

Image

Of course, what’s been posted on Vella is the raw, unedited story, so there have been and will be some revisions during the edit process, but for the most part, I’m happy with the story..

So, what’s next?

First off, you will see the remaining chapters dropping more often, probably one every other day or so, as I enter the editing process in full on the project. Once all chapters are posted, I will close the project on Vella, which means I must wait 30 days before publishing the book. Expect the full book in eBook and paperback formats sometime in late June or early July.

To help promote the series, I’m having the Demon Gate Chronicles series completely recovered. Stay tuned for the reveal of these gorgeous new covers.

I’m also planning on putting together some special offerings to people who have signed up for my newsletter. Watch your email boxes.

And if you’re not signed up yet, head on over to my website at:https://scmitchellauthor.com/

Sign up is on that front page, just a short scroll down.

Adventure on,

Merc’vel Hove is an Atlantean council member and budding sorcerer who is given a divine task of building a gateway to another dimension by his goddess, Gaia. But the gateway opens into the demon dimension of Ballor and allows demons into our world. Is he the Instrument of Treachery that has doomed they whole world?

Demon’s Gate Update.

I’m the first to admit when I make a mistake…well, maybe not the first...but eventually I concede…most of the time.

Anyway, I thought the reboot of my Demons Gate series would be on track, but I realize now that it probably wasn’t. the covers were too ‘artsy’ and the names too obscure…and sales fell flat.

So, we’re going back to the original titles for the books and I’ve commissioned some new covers.

So, Awakening, Alliance, and Annihilation are now all out-of-print. The new books are the same stories, just repackaged.

And if you haven’t read these stories yet, you can find them here:

The Forsaken Templar – https://books2read.com/u/b6vgWM

A free book, a thank you, and a favor.

Hello readers,

I’m beginning to believe that I have a few fans out there—some people who really like my work and look forward to the books I write. I’ve received some great reviews, a few awards, and have quite a few people who have signed up to receive my newsletter. To all of you, I want to say a big:

Thank You!

It’s been a fun, if bumpy, journey so far, and I’m looking forward to so much more in the future. Thank you for coming along on this ride.

I hope you are all aware of the always-free book I have made available in every available eBook format. Yes, Awakening, the first book in my newly revamped Demon Gate Chronicles series is now and forever free. If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, go to: https://books2read.com/u/3Jj0kX

That link should take you to the book in your favorite online store.

Some of you may have already read this book (the earlier version) back when it was titled: There’s No Such Thing As Werewolves. While the story remains essentially the same in the new version, there have been some changes. Most notably, the explicit sex has been removed to make the book more “teen-friendly” and the setting has changed. The book, and the series, is now set in and around the city of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. If you live in this area, you may even recognize some of the settings.

Anyway, if you are one of my “fans,” I’d like to take this moment to thank you. I would love to know how you found me. Feel free to leave a comment below. I’d love to hear from you.

A favor, please?

I’d also like to ask a favor. Because Awakening is such a drastic rewriting of There’s No Such Thing As Werewolves, I’ve lost all the reviews I had on that book. In order to properly promote this new book, most promotional sites want to see at least ten reviews. If you’ve read the book, even if it’s the previous version, would you be so kind as to leave a review on Amazon? (Remember, you don’t have to have purchased the book from Amazon to post a review.)

The link to the book on Amazon is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YK2RV3Q/

I would be so thankful if you did.

♥

Oh, and one more thing…

I’ve reduced the price on book 2 of the series, if you are interested in continuing the series.

Alliance, formerly The Forsaken Templar, is now just $1.99.

Thanks, and have a great holiday season.
