I’m beyond excited to reveal the new cover for Prophet of the Badlands! With the re-release of the book (a revised and edited second edition) I’ve decided to replace the covers with an illustrated style that better captures the essence of the characters.

With Althea finally realized visually, the illustrator (Jackson Tjota) is going to skip ahead to work on the cover for Angel Descended (book 6) next, so the entire series can finally be available to read. It’s been a long time coming (in excess of a 3 year wait) for the 6th book, so I am brimming with excitement to finally have the series wrap up out there.

The Awakened series books 1-5 each follow a different main character, one of the Awakened. In book 6, all their stories intertwine. Two forces of darkness clash, with the fate of the Awakened (and all of West City) hanging in the balance.

New Release | The Gate to Oblivion

Greetings, All!

I’m thrilled to announce the release of The Gate to Oblivion, Book 3 of the Temporal Armistice series! (Available now on Kindle. Paperback should be live within a day or two).

Brooklyn Amari doesn’t ask for much, only the ability to make it through life without destroying the universe.

Working as a firefighter is her true calling, satisfying her deep, primal draw to the flames. Immunity to burning courtesy of her half-extraplanar ancestry makes her the city’s best weapon against disaster of the incendiary kind—not that anyone knows about it. She’s trying to keep her nature a secret, since magical creatures aren’t allowed inside major population centers… and most people probably wouldn’t react well to a demon.

Even a half-demon.

Since her psychic abilities are out of the bag, the Arson Investigation Unit calls on her for all the ‘weird ones’ no one else wants to touch. When they can’t explain an apparent case of spontaneous human combustion, they bring her in to track a deadly arcane arsonist.

She’s happy to help, but unfortunately, some not-quite-angels abduct someone she cares for. They need Brooklyn to destroy the mortal world as it’s in the way of their interdimensional war—but even if she does what they want, everyone she loves will die.

Cover Reveal | Catalyst

Greetings, All!

I’m thrilled to share the cover for the upcoming third novel in the Winter Solstice series with J.R. Rain, Catalyst!

-Matt

Back home from Russia, Solstice Winters confronts a scarier problem than a lizard the size of a garbage truck: immortality.

She won’t exactly live forever, but ten thousand years isn’t much different. In the blink of an eye to her, everyone she loves will be gone. Being the only elf in the world is a lonely future, but at least she has her cat to talk to.

Good thing he talks back.

Solstice doesn’t have too long to mourn as someone thoughtfully sends a magical assassin to take her mind off the family she’ll eventually lose. She’s fairly certain the Ordo Sanguinem Aeternam didn’t summon it since they’re far too inept for elder magic. Before she can figure out where it came from, her friend Jade asks for help investigating a stolen mummy.

Upon discovering the mummy stole itself, she realizes New York is about to have a serious problem of the ancient kind if she doesn’t deal with it fast… and someone powerful still wants her dead.

Between an out-of-control mummy and a magical assassin, outliving her family is the least of Solstice’s worries.
