I have more good news to report! 😀 A Dragon at the Gate, the third and final book in my post-cyberpunk series The New Aeneid Cycle, has just made Finalist in the 2017 Independent Author Network Book of the Year Awards!

To celebrate, and for a limited time, ebook versions of the first two books in the series will be on sale for just 99 cents!

New Aeneid Cycle 99 cents sale

Set in the urban violence of the mid-21st century in places ranging from the fictional city of Northgate, to a space station in Earth orbit, to a mysterious structure found buried on the Moon, The New Aeneid Cycle tells the tale of a handful of individuals struggling to save humanity from its own base instincts. With cybernetics, secret societies, and derelict alien secrets, The New Aeneid Cycle has a 4-star Amazon rating with over 150 reviews.

And now it’s got this, too!

Northgate is in turmoil. Decaying, violent, and corrupt, it is a common enough city in 2051, yet soon, discoveries beneath the Moon’s surface will mark the city with their first distant echoes.

New arrival Michael Flynn is jobless and down to his last few dollars, but he still dreams of making a positive difference of his own. He has no family, no friends—save for the freelancer known only as Diomedes—and tonight the apartment they share will burn to the ground.

When Diomedes becomes his mentor in a search for the arsonist responsible, Michael will get the chance to realize his dreams. Joining them is Felix, a wise-cracking “information bounty hunter” who claims that neither the arsonist nor the man Michael idolizes are quite what they appear.

Will Michael find the courage to pass through the flames unscathed, or will the violence that surrounds him incinerate all that he is? Those who search the Moon will be watching…

And now it’s free!

A Dragon at the Gate available for pre-order! Plus a 99 cent sale!

August 8, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

As the August 17th release day hurtles toward us for A Dragon at the Gate, the final book in my cyberpunk adventure series The New Aeneid Cycle, I’m excited to announce that you can now pre-order the book!
What’s more, right now you can also get books 1 and 2 in the series for just 99 cents each!

Each book in the series has its own stand-alone narrative arc, so you can pick up any book and be okay, but of course all three together make up the complete story…

99 Cents

99 cents for a limited time!

A SHADOW IN THE FLAMES – 99 cent sale for Kindle

“A decaying city, a mysterious arson, and a secret below the moon’s surface drive the action of this engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller. A Shadow in the Flames will keep you guessing to the very end.”

—Terry Persun, author of Revison 7: DNA

“Dark, violent, relentlessly intriguing and action-packed, A Shadow in the Flames excels at dystopian world building. A well-developed, multi-layered story that grabs the reader on page one and never lets go.”

—Kenneth G. Bennett, author of Exodus 2022


99 cent sale

99 cents for a limited time!

A MEMORY IN THE BLACK – 99 cent sale for Kindle

“Munz skillfully interposes characters and events in a way that keeps one guessing, while ever hinting that the story—and the conspiracy behind it—is far vaster than one ever sees.”

—JM Guillen, author of On the Matter of the Red Hand

“A great story contrasting corporate greed and corruption with the hope to save humanity from itself. I love the darkness that is exposed in A Memory in the Black, the depths that people will stoop to just to serve their own purpose.”

—2BookLoversReviews.com


A Dragon at the Gate 2D cover low-res

$3.99 Pre-Order, Releasing 8/17/16

A DRAGON AT THE GATE – Pre-order at $3.99 for Kindle

“Not a book to read before bed unless you aren’t planning on going to sleep until sometime next week. Munz has a way of developing female characters that are believably badass and likable. I especially fell in love with the cybernetic implant technology. Damn it, now I want some glowing hair.”

—Tiffany Pitts, author of Double Blind

“In a time where so many stories are re-hashed sequels and re-boots, Munz has created some truly spectacular science fiction. The entire series delivers what it promises, and so much more. Every time I believed I knew what came next, I found myself very pleasantly surprised.”

—JM Guillen, author of The Paean of Sundered Dreams

At the moment, the pre-order and sales are only available on the Kindle versions. A paperback version of A Dragon at the Gate will also be available starting on August 17th. I can’t wait for everyone to read it! I really feel the series just gets better with each successive book.

Zeus Is Dead & The New Aeneid Cycle returns to paperback!

August 2, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

RedMusePress-red-squareWhen Booktrope, my former publisher, closed its doors at the end of May, I focused on getting the ebook versions of my novels back up for sale under my new imprint, Red Muse Press, as soon as possible. Missing since then have been the paperback versions. Well, no longer!

I’m pleased to announce that the Red Muse Press versions of all of my existing novels are now available on Amazon. Not only that, they’re at lower prices than they were previously. So far, most of my readers prefer ebooks, but for those of you who like to the feel of a physical book in your hands, I’m excited to offer them again.

Now (Re)publishing via Red Muse Press!

June 1, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

And so it begins!

So you heard the news a few weeks ago: Booktrope, the publisher I signed with in 2014, went out of business as of May 31st. As I retain the rights to my books, I’ve chosen, for the moment, to republish them myself under my own imprint. I’m now pleased to present to you the name of that imprint, along with its own fancy-ass logo!

Red Muse Press Logo

Actually, I suppose it’s kind of a simple-ass logo. But it’s a logo. They’re supposed to be efficient like that. And I really like it. So there.

My publisher is dissolving. So what’s next for me?

Booktrope Logo

Gone at the end of the month.

On Friday I received some disheartening news: Booktrope, my publisher for the past two years, will be going out of business on May 31st. The news hit me and the rest of my fellow Booktropian authors pretty hard. While there were recent signs of problems, I hadn’t expected things to take this particular turn. [Read more…]
