More Psiarch: Rising Reviews And Progress Update On Psiarch: Reckoning

Chapter 7 and 8 of Psiarch: Reckoning (Book Two of The Psiarch Chronicles) are done and Chapter 9 is about 1/4 on the way, leaving one more chapter to finish Part 1 of the book (at least, as planned so far... but this might change once the manuscript is finished and rewriting goes over this again). 😎

Also, there are several new reviews for Psiarch: Rising (Book One of The Psiarch Chronicles) on Goodreads! A few excerpts:
- I enjoyed this book! It is a good sci-fi plot with elements of actions and romance mixed throughout to keep readers engaged.

- I just couldn't find myself putting the book down.

- I must start by saying that I am not very fond of this genre of books, however, this is a success and I was very pleased to read it. For science fiction readers and those of us who like the MCU, this book will undoubtedly hook us.

- I'd say it's an epic treat for sci-fi fans, or if you're looking for something to sink your bookish teeth into. The author has created a unique world for readers, and brings the characters to life within it, with clever and subtle imagery.

- I absolutely loved the narrative of this book!

Read the rest/whole of them over there. 

So, until next time... keep on rockin', eh? 😎👍

P.S. Oh, and if you haven't already, you can grab your copy of Psiarch: Rising from the outlets listed here.

Yet another 5/5 Stars Review on Goodreads for Psiarch:Rising!

EDIT (08/21/2026): I just realized the specific glowing review cited in this blog was removed! 😞 That's the 5th review (!) to disappear over the last two years. I have no idea if the author's review left Goodreads or if it's something weird that's ben going on with Goodreads... I apologize for this inadvertent hassle.😕 

 

 

As the title of this post says, a new Psiarch: Rising review just dropped on Goodreads... and it's a 5 stars out of 5 one to boot! 😮

It's a rather comprehensive one, so instead of reproducing it here, I'll simply leave you with the concluding remarks of this wonderful (and humbling) review:


Looking for a new science fiction novel to sink your teeth into? Psiarch: Rising is an epic of a novel that you’re not going to want to miss out on. A dynamic cast of characters, and a fascinating storyline that keeps you coming back for more. Steeped in science fiction, this book brings you the beginning of a series that really packs quite the punch.


Added to this are book classifiers such as 'page-turner' and 'awesome-indie-books'. I'm at a loss for words... 😳

Go read it all at Goodreads.

(And in case you haven't read the book yet, feel free to grab a copy of Psiarch: Rising from any of the outlets listed here 😉).

 
In between, keep on rockin', eh? 😎👍

I Heard The (Good) News Today, Oh Boy: Part Two!

Over in this post here, I gave the news that the Intellectual Property Office of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada had given me the registered trademark (registration number 2194303) for the word Psiarch™®.

Well, almost a year later, they've (finally!) granted me the registered trademark for what I call the Psion/Psiarch Symbol (as described in Psiarch: Rising), the core visual representation of which being this:

™®

Trademark-owned alterations of it for (my) commercial/advertising purposes include my typical online/social media avatar (with or without pupils) and the logo for Psiarch Press, among other possible alterations I would deem fit:

™®
™®


So, what does this mean? Now I can start looking into partnering up with a company to sell Psiarch/Psiarch: Rising T-shirts/hoodies/caps/beanies! 😁
 
Ergo: stay tuned! 😎👌 

In the meantime, in case you haven't already, don't hesitate to grab a copy of Psiarch: Rising from any of the outlets listed here. 
 
Keep on rockin', eh? 😎👍

A Little Spotlight On Psiarch: Rising!

Well, it would seem this month of June is turning out to be rather busy news-wise for Psiarch: Rising. Case in point: there's a new entry in science-fiction author J.C. Gemmell's Independent, Sci-fi, Dystopian & Cyberpunk Authors website section.

That's right: by kind invitation, yours truly discusses Psiarch: Rising!

Here's a tiny, weenie excerpt:
'True hero' stories are scarce nowadays, or so it seems; and that's aside the fact I've long become bored and disinterested with said hero deconstructivism stories.

Go have a read. I hope you'll enjoy it.

(And in case you haven't already, click on over here to find where you can grab your copy of Psiarch: Rising).

In the meantime, keep on rockin', eh? 😎👍

Amazon Printed Book Prices Will be Going UP By June 20, 2023!

I have bad news and good news.
 
Bad news first: on June 20, 2023, Amazon/Kindle Direct Publishing will raise substantially the printing costs of indie books published and sold through them. 😞
 
 
This applies to softcover and hardcover books alike. The prices for Psiarch: Rising HC/SC will therefore rise in the price range of US $25.50-27.75 (SC; 504 pages) and US $28.50-32.75 (HC; 546 pages). 😟
 
(The same will happen for the SC format sold over at B&N). 😐
 
In any event, prices for the Kindle/kdp and ebook formats of Psiarch: Rising will remain as they are, wherever they are sold and regardless of this June 20th date.

And now, the (somewhat) good news: despite Amazon giving me the option of allowing the prices to be raised in advance, I'm maintaining the original prices for the HC and SC formats of Psiarch:Rising for the time being!
 
This means the books will remain priced at US $20.75 (SC)/US $25.75 (HC) until the aforementioned date of June 20th (same for the SC sold at B&N).

So, until then and if you haven't already, go over to Amazon (or B&N) and grab a physical copy to save $$$! 
😎👍

In between, keep on rockin', eh? 😉
