We've been busy at Bolide Publishing in all areas of business of late - publishing, editing, marketing, and even some (blog post) writing.
The announcement of our new releases are late because I have self-diagnosed social anxiety and find it hard to 'talk' to people. It's taken a few weeks to psych myself up to sending this newsletter.
New/Recent Releases:
Head over Heels (Starstruck Saga Short)
** This was previously offered free
Paris, 1793. Things go terribly wrong while trying to help Marie Antoinette, an old friend of Zander’s, escape the guillotine. Sally suddenly finds herself without a body and rolling through the streets of Paris, in need of a neck and a stiff drink.
Vienna, 1769. Zander’s undercover investigation into the disappearances of the Holfburg Palace staff takes a dramatic turn when the young archduchess starts stalking him. Armed with salad dressing and elaborate dance moves, he must solve the mystery before time runs out – all while helping the future queen of France deal with a teenage crush.
This short and spooky adventure takes place at some undetermined time after the events of Starbound, but has no bearing on the next books in the series.
Earthstruck (Starstruck Saga Book 6)
When a mystery lands on their doorstep in the middle of the night, it seems like the answer to all their problems.
From Florida malls to the dark side of the moon, the trio needs to stall their nervous breakdowns to save the planet from an extra-terrestrial murderer and, apparently, themselves.

Hyperia Jones is at the top of her game, and she knows it. By day, a glamorous pro-rasseler who dominates the TwistCube world of FIRE--the Federation of Interstellar Rassling Entertainment. By night, the daring, resourceful, and entirely unscrupulous Tekuani, master thief.
But when the law catches up with her unexpectedly, she's forced to accept a dangerous mission working for the very people who’ve been trying to catch her for years, and steal evidence against a powerful drug smuggling operation that reaches deep into the elite levels of Seventeen Realms society.
Now it’s a battle on all fronts. Hyperia must put everything on the line and decide what means the most to her: the lives of her fellow rasslers or her freedom.
And finally... we have two freebies for you...
Illusional Reality (free until 18th Oct).
Becky Jones is as independent as they come, and determined to succeed on her own terms. But her career plan goes sideways when two men try to kill her – and her rescuer whisks her away to an enchanted realm. Her realm.
In Tsinia she is Thya, heir to the throne and gifted with magical abilities, destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy. Her people are kind and peaceful, desperate to forget the evil that looms over them. When she refuses a betrothal to an enemy prince to stop the oncoming war, her act of rebellion sparks old tensions and threatens the future of the kingdom.
As well as battling to save her kinsmen, she is battling with a power within her that is threatening to take over her body, mind, and soul. All while falling for one whose heart she can never have. Thya must find a balance between her needs and those of her people, but in order to do so, she must fight against destiny itself – and forge her own fate, no matter the cost.
Lasers and Tiaras (Short Story)
It’s not every day your alien bestie gets turned into a child – something she hasn’t been for a few thousand years – but true friendship means dropping everything to turn her back, even if it means posing as her mother for as long as it takes.
Sally, Zander, and tiny-Blayde are now your typical suburban family, albeit one secretly on the hunt for a mad scientist and his youth-ray. Fitting in isn’t easy when your ancient-warrior-turned-first-grader refuses to embrace her role, especially when the only way to save Blayde is to enter her in a local child beauty pageant. Between local mom groups, terrified teachers, and secret alien spies, suburbia is a lot more complicated than it ought to be…
