New Editions

New editions of Stephen Brooke's fantasy novels 'Stones in the Sea' and 'The City and the Sword' are now available for purchase. The changes were mostly proofreading related, tidying things up. In print or as free ebooks from Arachis Press (arachispress.com).

2025 Releases

Two new books are slotted for release in the first half of 2025. These are Stephen Brooke's latest poetry collection, THE MOON AND THE SEA, set for April 21, and Oliver Davis Pike's third Jack Mack science fiction novel, DIM DISTANT STARS, which will be released on June 1. As usual, in print and as free ebooks (epub and pdf).

More information on both will be coming.

Counting Words Release

Today, October 25 2024, marks the release of a new collection of poems from Stephen Brooke, "Counting Words." The book is  available from Arachis Press (arachispress.com) in print or as free ebooks (PDF and EPUB). Stop by and get your copy!

Blog and Site

It may be noted that this blog is now incorporated (after a fashion) into arachispress.com, via a linked tab in the site navigation. If we'd known it was that simple, we would have done it quite some time ago, but we'd been exploring ways to embed a blog instead. This should word just fine and announcements can easily be found by visiting the Arachis Press site. Or just come here.

Combined Donzalo

We have decided to re-release the all-in-one edition of Stephen Brooke’s epic fantasy, “Donalo’s Destiny,” in paperback (no hard cover, at least for now). It was withdrawn from publication when we released newly edited and typeset versions of the four constituent novels (more or less novels though one can see DD as one long novels), “The Song of the Sword,” “The Shadow of Asak,” “The Sign of the Arrow,” and “The Hand of Sorcerer.” Plans are to make the book available before the end of the year.

However, the separate volumes remain available, both in print and as free ebooks, and will continue so, at Arachis Press (arachispress.com).

Countdown to Counting Words

We have decided not to hold Stephen Brooke's new poetry collection, 'Counting Words,' until next year, as originally intended. The release date now (and this is fairly solid) is October 25. More news, cover reveal, and so on to come in a bit (once 'The City and the Sword' is out). 'Counting Words' is a collection of poems with an emphasis on language and its uses, both serious and for play.
