Ciao, amici! Today, it all begins.
I want to express my gratitude to you for supporting me through this whole endeavor. Writing a series is hard. Writing a five-book series is harder. Writing a five-book series in an existing storyworld built by someone else extremely difficult.
Last year, my publisher released The Gate (book one of my Astral Conspiracy Series, my contribution to the established Invasion Universe). To those of you who have read it, I want to express my thanks. And remind you to check for updates in your e-reader. Because the book was pulled down to do a re-release with the rest of the series, I had the opportunity to make a few little tweaks. (If I didn’t have a deadline, I’d still be making minute adjustments.) The content is the same; I didn’t make massive changes or retcon anything. But if you want to do a re-read before the rest of the series drops (which is soon!), make sure you do the update first.
If you didn’t grab a copy last year, now is your chance. Here’s the universal link.
I’m very proud of this series and am delighted book one is back on the digital shelves. (I believe it will be in paperback in the not-too-distant future, too.) And the rest of the series will be available shortly.
If you’ve already read it, I’d love to know what you thought. If you haven’t, I hope you’ll consider it.
Looking for more universe, series, or book information? Look no further. Click the links below.
Yes, The Gate is a re-release, not a new release, but I’m still super excited. And I hope you’ll join me in the celebration.
Saluti!
Congrats!

I’ll be reading them pretty close to back to back once I start. Still finishing the last Dresden Files book before Peace Talks, which has finally arrived! Once I’ve devoured that, I’ll be free to read whatever I want, so I’ll be catching up with your series as soon as possible. 🙂

Yeah, I know your passion for that series. I hope you enjoy Peace Talks as much as you hope to.

I read Staci Troilo’s book when it first came out, and I’ve been waiting for the rest of the series ever since. I’m not a sci-fi fan, but I really enjoyed The Gate.
