Looking over our sales for the past twelve months we find that we have sold exactly zero e-books in PDF format. Therefor, we have deleted all PDFs from our store and will no longer offer them to the public. If you MUST have one, of course the PDFs from which our print editions are prepared are always available.
Offering them was no big deal, requiring only the preparation of a slightly revised version of the print-ready PDF, but it does clear up clutter at our store by removing a third of the listings!

Here is the official blurb, as it currently goes:
Qala, once Queen of the Pirates, had
retired, hoping only for a comfortable and peaceful country life for
herself and her little demigod son. Any of us might wish for such
things!
But others had their own plans. The
boy’s relatives, an unruly family of deities, felt called upon to
meddle in his upbringing — and one might just want him dead. Add to
this the politics and intrigues of mortal men and women, and their
penchant for falling in love, as well as her old crew who think Qala
has hidden treasure somewhere about her estate.
Kidnappings and quests, an adventure
through the worlds of gods and of mortals, await Qala in Book One of
The Crocodile Chronicles, THE CROCODILE’S SON.

God of Rain Release
Today marks the official release of Stephen Brooke's latest fantasy novel, GOD OF RAIN. Available everywhere (or close to it) in print and ebook formats
Stephen prefers to call this book 'adventure with a fantasy element' rather than simply fantasy. GOD and its predecessors set in the Mora world recall the work of such masters of adventure as Edgar Rice Burroughs, with plenty of action and exotic settings but not delving deeply into magic or the supernatural.
More titles coming this summer and fall. Dates to be announced when we have them set!

K Page Brooke Site
We are teaching ourselves responsive design — very slowly — and put up a simple one-page, mini-site for one of the books, as we figure it all out! It is set up as a subdomain of our parent site, at kpagebrooke.insolentlad.com. Not linked up yet but we'll get around to it.
Bit by bit, we should get more of our online presence into subdomains, including Arachis Press, as we feel our way. It may not be responsive at first; the mobile redirects we use now work well enough and we have more experience with the process, but eventually we should be mostly responsive. By that time, maybe we'll need to learn some other approach altogether!
In other news, the print version of GOD OF RAIN (the new Mora fantasy novel by Stephen Brooke) has been approved and will be available pretty much everywhere by the target release date of March 13. We have copies coming from the printer for the occasion and should be getting the ebook versions up shortly.

God of Rain Release Set
We are pleased to announce a release date of Monday, March 13, 2017, for the latest fantasy-adventure novel from Stephen Brooke, GOD OF RAIN. This is the first of a Mora trilogy, taking up where the three Malvern novels left off, and following the narratives of some of the secondary characters in those books.
As always, there will print (paperback) and ebook editions. The blurb:
As always, there will print (paperback) and ebook editions. The blurb:
Hito had tired of war, of knowing he
would never be more than the second to the hero Aranu. It was time he
sought his own destiny, to leave fighting behind and seek more.
Peace, he desired, and a wife and home. If a bit of wealth came his
way, too, that was to the better. But was that what he truly sought?
Should there not be more?
From the Mora homeland to the jungled
valley of the Gurang, from a new life as a trader to that of a Kohari
prisoner, condemned to be sacrificed to the Sun Bird, his quest
carries him. And does he find love, as well? Perhaps.
In Teva, the God of Rain, must he seek
who he is truly meant to be. In the end, it will be Hito himself he
finds, in the first novel of a new Mora Trilogy, GOD OF RAIN.
