Open ARC applications!

I’m so excited to announce that my new sci-fi romantasy series is kicking off in October with the release of Endlings and Beginnings, book one in The Bloodline Books.

Announcement for ARC applications for Endlings and Beginnings

David McKinley thought he had the upper hand when he was tipped off about the assassin coming to end his life. He never expected to be captivated by her strength and ethereal beauty, but the moment they met, he felt something electric wake up inside his soul. When Kimber Joule shows up, he finds himself drawn to her and the immediate connection between them. To his surprise, at the promise of a quieter life on the other side of their simple mission, she agrees to spare his life and help him find the person who wants him dead.

Kimber is not just any woman; she is the last of her people, seeking her place in the universe. Together, they make a plan to find the person responsible for ordering the contract on David's life. But a simple mission turns into the fight of their lives as they uncover a plot to resurrect the vengeful queen of a warrior race that once ruled over the galaxy.

If they fail to stop the mastermind, the stars will fall to the cruelty of the Amphiri once more. And even if they succeed, they still face the rising threat of the Galactic Forces being weaponized against those who are perceived to be leeches on society. With the help of Kimber's chosen family of other endlings, David and Kimber must make a difficult choice: run and survive another annihilation, or stay and defend the galaxy from falling into the hands of an entry-level dictator on his way to the top.

ARC reading is a great opportunity to find books you might fall in love with before they’re launched, get in early reviews, and be a part of a team with the author to ensure the success of that book and future ones.

You can find the direct link to the ARC application here.

All my ARC readers are incredibly important to me, and I really think this book will appeal to so many people. Want to know more? Check out the trope list below:

I even did a drawing of the endling herself, though I admit I’m no commercial artist! I’m always open to my adoring fans doing their own artwork… who knows, it may show up in one of my newsletters if you send it in.

Keep an eye out as well for new content as we get closer to the release, as well as a schedule of events I am going to be at this year. I’m so excited to share my work with you, get to know you, and have you on this journey with me. My fans are a huge part of my life, and I wouldn’t be the writer I am without them… without you.

Bloodline be with you,

Salem T. Lynn
