I just published Part 2 of Arm of the Sphinx on Amazon, and I have to admit, I’m quite pleased with it.

The adventure continues with the marooning of the crew of the Stone Cloud within a dilapidated and infested ringdom called the Silk Gardens. There, Senlin and Edith must trek to a mission deep inside a perilous forest, to confer with the mysterious zealot, Luc Marat.

The stories of Adam, Voleta, and Iren diverge as each must confront the dire reality of their circumstance and grapple with the irresistible tug of hope and regret. The tension between Edith and Senlin comes to a head, too, and they are forced to address the difficulty of their intimate arrangement, even as their vulnerability grows.

But will Senlin find a way into Pelphia at last? Will he come any closer to reuniting with Marya? Will he finally escape the torment of the specter of his lost wife?

Read Part 2, The Golden Zoo, to find out!

The third part of Arm of the Sphinx is available on Amazon for download. But it won't be for long. Next Tuesday, I'm going to pull the parts down and publish the complete book. If all goes well with the proofs, the print version should be available starting then, too. I'm planning on doing a few Goodreads giveaways. I'll keep you posted!

If you're interested in reviewing the new book, I'd be happy to send you an e-copy. Haven't read the first book in the series? No problem! I can give you a copy of Senlin Ascends, too, so you can catch up. You can email me at thebooksofbabel@gmail.com, or you can message me. You don't have to be a professional reviewer. Everyone in the Goodreads community is a book reviewer as far as I'm concerned!

To celebrate the publication of Arm of the Sphinx, I'm hosting a Goodreads Giveaway. So that readers have a chance to catch up with the series, the Giveaway includes a copy of both Arm of the Sphinx and Senlin Ascends.
