Releases, Now and Later

April 21 2026 marks the release of Stephen Brooke's latest poetry collection, NIGHT RAINS. Here's the official blurb:

To linger in forbidden gardens,
  dream beneath the black rose tree,
to play the tunes for fairy dances
  through all night’s eternity,
I seek those distant ebon towers,
  stark beside a shadowed sea
where misted perfumes of the darkness
  rise in writhing ecstasy.

Visit lands both real and imagined — though who is to say which is which? —  in Stephen Brooke’s collection of poems, NIGHT RAINS.
 

 Available in both print and as free ebooks through our Arachis Press site (arachispress.com)

On May 18 we shall release the novella MISSION DELAYED, a Jack Mack science fiction story by Oliver Davis Pike, and on June 22, STORM STONE, a fantasy novella from Stephen Brooke. More on those as release dates approach.

Creative Commons

We have decided to move most of our material to Creative Commons licenses. As we were already allowing the free download of our ebooks, this will not have much actual effect. It just clears up the licensing a bit.

Stephen Brooke's poetry collection NIGHT RAINS remains on schedule for an April release and will be the first book with a CC notice in it. We also expect to have a new hardcover edition of Donzalo's Destiny available shortly, also under a CC license. Other books will have notices in them when we get to them.

Most of the sites and blogs connected to us already have Creative Commons notices up.
