About Ebooks

A couple notes about our ebooks:

We do not specify a font for our ebook offerings, whether EPUB or MOBI (Kindle) but prefer to leave that to the individual reader. A Garamond is often a good choice for novels and stories, and adequate for poetry. Our PDFs do have embedded typefaces, usually the same as those used for print.

Our ebooks do not contain DRMs. You own them. This assumes that you buy them from Arachis Press and not from Amazon or some other retailer — it is always possible for them to mess things up (although they are not supposed to). Yes, this means the books can be pirated but so be it; if you pay for something, it should be yours.

Hero Book Release

This coming weekend, March 12, marks the release of Stephen Brooke's newest novel, HERO FROM THE SEA, the third and final book of the Malvern Trilogy. Available  pretty much everywhere right now!

The author will be camping at the Will McLean music festival in central Florida (near Dade City) all that weekend so think of it as an extended book release party. He promises to have books and wine at his tent.

Official release date has been set for the final Malvern novel by Stephen Brooke --- March 12, 2016. HERO FROM THE SEA is the sequel to COAST OF SPEARS and VALLEY OF VISIONS.

Coming This Spring

Exact date of release to be announced soon!

"Michael Malvern returns from across the mountains, united at last with the woman he loves. But the homeland of the Mora people is in turmoil. Could he be the prophesied Hero from the Sea, come to restore the kingdom? All is answered in the third and final novel of the Malvern Saga, Hero from the Sea, a fantasy adventure by Stephen Brooke."

Today marks the official release of Stephen Brooke's new fantasy adventure novel, VALLEY OF VISIONS. This is the second of the Malvern  Saga books.
