Psyker Marine 5 coming to Audible!

I’m James Thorne, Level 25 Psyker Apex, and I’m looking to bounce back from a pretty catastrophic outcome of the battle on Rithos.

Because Marines don’t die easy. They just come back meaner.

Yes, so excited! Apocalypse Parenting is now available for library loan through Libby/Overdrive! If your library uses it, the easiest way to find the books is to search "Erin Ampersand" and request to be notified if your system adds the titles.

Live fast.

Die young.

Leave the smoking and ruined corpses of Camelot’s enemies in the sand…

Read and listen to the trilogy now.

My story, ‘The Hidden Claw’, is in this awesome collection.

Cats are required kit on every Martian mission. Not as pets, but as lifesaving sensors, early-warning systems, and sanity keepers.

Trouble is, the cats are still cats, and wrangling them is… yeah.

At LitRPG Con, I got to know Haylock Jobson! He's a natural in front of an audience. We were surprised to learn we both launched our book 4s on the hang day earlier this week! Our mutual friend, author Jason J. Willis, whipped this up for us :)

It's fun having author friends

Warwitch Academy is now out!

Peace has come, but the war devastated the nation's warlock numbers. Now the survivors are in hot demand, and as a war hero, the state expects Alister to do his duty.
