New Releases

Wizards of Dragon Keep is now available

/ C.T. Phipps / Leave a comment

Hey folks,

I’m pleased to say that one of my epics has been completed. THE DARK UNDERMASTER SAGA (Lords of Dragon Keep, Guardians of Dragon Keep, and Wizards of Dragon Keep) has been finished with the third book. WIZARDS OF DRAGON KEEP is now available on Kindle Unlimited, in ebook, and in paperback form.

“So, we’ve got an army.”
“Yes. All of the Southern Kingdoms are united for our big battle with Veles.”
“Except, he’s not fighting us. He ran to Earth.”
“Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming.”

It is the time for the final battle between Veles and Aaron’s heroic band of misfits. Except Veles doesn’t show up. Unfortunately, this leaves Aaron holding the bag as the various factions he’s united have ended up divided. Worse, Aaron is slowly metamorphisizing to becoming a god and will soon no longer be able to be among mortals. Can his relationship to his loved ones’ survive? Can he defeat Veles before he’s bound by ridiculous rules against stopping him? Can he stop Jon from making incest jokes?

WIZARDS OF DRAGON KEEP is the third volume of the Dark Undermaster Saga, a humorous send up of dark fantasy like Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and Dark Souls. It is a progression fantasy LitRPG that follows the adventures of video game computer programmer, Aaron Bartkowski as he is hurled bodily into the world of his favorite author, Larry C.C. Weis. Unfortunately, Weis turns out to have been much better at stealing from other, better, authors than he was in giving his heroes a break.

I am also very happy to announce that the work has begun on LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP’s audiobook

“Gary’s back. Tell a friend.”

Gary Karkofsky AKA Merciless: The Supervillain without Mercy

TM has managed to fall into a comfortable routine as the (acting) Supreme Archmage of Earth. More hero than villain these days, he’s recruited to a shadowy black ops team with a shocking mission: assassinate Helios: The Sun King, ruler of Tomorrow Island. Gary immediately twigs to the fact he’s the fall guy even as he has his own score to settle with Helios. Joining him will be a number of fan favorite characters as well as several new additions to the surreal world of the Supervillainy Saga.

The Return of Supervillainy is the tenth volume of the Supervillainy Saga, following the world’s worst (best?) supervillain. It has two bonus stories in “Sidekick Girl versus Merciless” and “The Freelancer’s Cunning Plan.” It also contains “The Guide to the Supervillainy Saga” which will detail the entire history of the setting for long-term and new fans.

Hey folks,

Guardians of Dragon Keep (Dark Undermaster #2) is now available

/ C.T. Phipps / Leave a comment

The sequel to my humorous LitRPG isekai is now available for those who want to pick up a copy! On Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback!

“So, what you’re saying is the Dragon Queen is dead.”

“No, what I’m saying is the Dragon Queen is dead and there’s an imposter carrying on in her place. Possibly someone you know. Your girlfriend’s ex is back from the dead. Your brother is evil. A dead god is trying to take over your body. We’re running out of time until it becomes impossible to save the world. Also, I’m pretty sure the giant blind redheaded swordswoman chick wants to bang you to death.”

“So, normal Tuesday.”

    Aragorn “Aaron” Bartkowski and his merry band of miscreants are back! Having successfully slain the demon god Chernabog, they’ve managed to buy a little more time for the planet Mokosh. However, a hero’s work is never done, especially when a hero is underleveled and with low WIS. From a mission to a haunted vampire-filled castle to rescue the little girl Pope to the deeps of elven territory to the heart of Ledziana’s civil war, Aaron must now engage with the complicated politic underlying the dark fantasy setting he’s found himself in. It’s win or die when playing the games of kings and queens, though, and our hero is absolutely terrible at them.

    GUARDIANS OF DRAGON KEEP is the second volume of the Dark Undermaster Saga, a humorous send up of dark fantasy like Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and Dark Souls. It is a progression fantasy LitRPG that follows the adventures of video game computer programmer, Aaron Bartkowski as he is hurled bodily into the world of his favorite author, Larry C.C. Weis.

Brighteyes, book two of the Morgan Detective, is now available!

/ C.T. Phipps / Leave a comment

Hey folks,

I’m pleased to announce that BRIGHT EYES, the second MORGAN DETECTIVE AGENCY novel and 12th novel of the UNITED STATES OF MONSTERS series is now available on Kindle as well as paperback.

The United States of Monsters books are a collection of urban fantasy novels all set in the same world where the supernatural was revealed to the world in 2008 and society has been catching up ever since. Vampires, slashers, werewolves, weredeer, and more all struggle to integrate with a human race that either worships or hates them.

What is Bright Eyes?

Ashley Morgan has been many things: a trainee spy for the House, a psychic superhero, a private detective, and a bounty hunter. However, she’s lost all of those jobs because it turns out none of them are very easy in a city run by vampires. Now having her wounded sister recovering in her apartment, Ashley has to figure out who her latest enemies are. What she finds out are they may be closer to home than she ever imagined and targeting her old classmates at spy school for sale at an undead slave market.

Armed with a magical sword containing an angel, her ex-boyfriend’s magic, her devious brother, and the dubious help of New Detroit’s ex-voivode, Ashley has to set out to smash a conspiracy before it turns everyone she used to know into playthings for the damned. But can she trust even those closest to her?
Brighteyes is set in the same world as the Red Room series, The Bright Falls Mysteries, and Straight Outta Fangton.

It is available on KU, Kindle, and paperback.

Space Academy Miscreants (Space Academy #4) now available for preorder!

NOW AVAILABLE FOR AUDIOBOOK PREORDER!

SPACE ACADEMY MISCREANTS (Space Academy #4)

“Captain’s log… we’re doomed.”

Captain Vance Turbo of the E.S.S Ares has managed to save the entire universe and gotten himself a big fat promotion for it. However, that doesn’t mean much as he’s just received a message that his daughter is in peril! His daughter that he didn’t know about because she was cooked up in a lab by his ex-girlfriend. Knowing he can’t take his ship on a personal vendetta, Vance decides to charter a pirate ship to head to the distant tyranny of Crius. Unfortunately, his journey isn’t exactly a secret and he finds himself ambushed. Ambushed by someone Vance never thought he’d see again.

Space Academy is an all-new series from the hilarious duo of C.T. Phipps (Supervillainy Saga, Agent G) and Michael Suttkus (I Was a Teenage Weredeer, Lucifer’s Star) that lampoons the space opera as well as military science fiction genres.

Vance Turbo remains the luckiest unlucky character I’ve created. Lucky because he grew up in a Post-Cyberpunk utopian future created by the sacrifices of people like Agent G, Kei Springs, and Detective Neal Gordon of the Moon PD.

Unlucky because it seems like every single threat to that peace falls to him to fix and everyone in the galaxy wants to burn down said Utopia for not being human friendly enough or too human friendly. Now he’s on a quest to find out if he’s a father that involves his long dead parents, his promotion to High Inquisitor (err, Protector), and the slave holding world of CRIUS! Yes, a link to LUCIFER’S STAR! Released on October 22nd! The Kindle is already up.

New Release Sale – Lords of Dragon Keep

“Give me the incredibly short summary of what the hell is going on, please. The kind you could fit into a movie trailer.”

“You’re trapped in a video game world based on a hack dark fantasy author’s rip-off of better books.”

“Uh huh. Maybe you could be a bit more detailed.”

Aragorn “Aaron” Bartkowski was a programmer working at Epic DungeoneeringTM, the world’s largest fantasy video game company. Much to his surprise, he was selected to pick up the latest manuscript from reclusive author Larry C.C. Weis. Weis had been working on his newest book for over a decade and the good folk at Aaron’s company had dibs on adapting it. Unfortunately, Weis was also a wizard and sent Aaron to the world that inspired his books.Aaron proceeded to find himself in a Slavic mythology themed world where he’s believed to be Weis’ main character, Garland of Nowhere. Equipped with the powers of a RPG protagonist, Aaron must accumulate experience and equipment while navigating a setting that seems worse off than Game of Thrones and Dark Souls put together.

LORDS OF DRAGON KEEP is a LitRPG progression fantasy isekai that takes the grim out of grimdark with biting humor as well as intelligent exploitation of the rules. It has excellent world-building, a great supporting cast, a bit of romance, and lots of laughs. Oh and there’s a talking raven.

Tales of an Eldritch Wasteland coming out on July 23rd!

/ C.T. Phipps / Leave a comment

Hey folks,

A lot of interesting news this month with the release of TALES OF AN ELDRITCH WASTELAND happening on July 23rd. This is the fourth volume of the CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON series that will be finishing later this year with the fifth volume, CTHULHU’S CANYON.

Tales of an Eldritch Wasteland is a collection of the various short stories and novellas I’ve written for the Cthulhu Mythos over the years, including several important ones for understanding the main series. Mostly, they’ve been divided over the Books of Cthulhu and other anthology books I’ve participated in but now they’ve been assembled into a single volume.

There’s going to be plenty of John Henry Booth stories but also contemporary Cthulhu Mythos tales as well as a few set back in ye olden times of the Middle Ages or Al-Hazred’s days. All of them are canon to the setting. Well, except the Cinderella meets Nyarlathotep one. Probably.

“There are a million tales of the Mythos. Here are some of mine.” – C.T. Phipps

Author C.T. Phipps wrote the post-apocalypse meets H.P. Lovecraft novel Cthulhu Armageddon in 2015 but he had been a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos for far longer. Having written stories ranging from Assassins in Acre to detectives in the Dreamlands, he’s tackled every part of the sinister tentacle-filled world that has been influenced by authors ranging from authors Robert E. Howard and Brian Lumley to film directors George Miller and Stuart Gordon.

TALES OF AN ELDRITCH WASTELAND collects over a dozen of his short stories, novelettes, and novellas set both before as well as after the Great Old Ones’ rising. Stories of action, horror, and everything in between.

“I’m a sucker for anything C.T. Phipps. I can’t get enough of his style of writing.” – Brian’s Book Blog
“Dark and sinister with a side order of action.” – The Bookwyrm Speaks

“Phipps […] should appeal to those who like full kitchen sink Cthulhu Mythos stories and the attendant sports of restructuring the Mythos.” – Marzaat.com

Moon Cops on the Moon is now available

/ C.T. Phipps / Leave a comment

Hey folks, 

I have fantastic news! MOON COPS ON THE MOON is now available on Kindle and has already hit number 1# in Humorous Science Fiction! I’m so pleased by this and hope you guys will do me a solid and pick up a copy, only for 99c this month only! 

FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA:

“Welcome to the moon!”

Neal Gordon screwed up his assignment on Mars and they reassigned him to Antarctica. Now he’s being reassigned some place even worse: Luna City. A crime ridden hellhole with a super-rich ruling class, he almost immediately finds himself targeted by bounty hunters and cyborg terrorists. Thankfully, Neal has an unusual set of partners in robot dog, Barksley, and the snarky but badass Lucy Westenra. Yes, make all the vampire jokes you want.

It’s tough being a corporate cop on humanity’s foremost colony and before this adventure is over, he’s going to have to deal with deranged influencers, mysterious female secret agents, and a 1970s themed flying car called the Purple Rain. Can he survive to get reassigned? Who knows.

MOON COPS ON THE MOON is set in the Futurepunk setting of Agent G, the Cyber Dragons Trilogy, and Space Academy novels but functions as a standalone series. It is a humorous action-filled romp that fans of The Expanse, Robocop, Demolition Man, and Blade Runner will enjoy.
