Dying World: Magitech Legacy Book 1 Released on Amazon!

The first book in a new series in the Magitech universe has been released on Amazon! Dying World, book 1 in the new Magitech Legacy series, tells the tale of a Relic Hunter desperately attempting to save as many people as he can as his world literally comes apart.

Dying World
Our world is tumbling into the sun

The quakes have leveled cities. Soon the continents will drift apart, before the final implosion. The ships are gone. There’s no way off. But I’m not giving up. I’m a Relic Hunter…an archeologist with a gun, and I have a plan.

Our people arrived on Kemet thousands of years ago in the wake of a terrible space battle. The Great Ships are still up there, ancient derelict hulks powered by a combination of technology and magic, created by gods we no longer remember or understand.

If I can get one of those ships active, maybe I can save myself. Maybe I can save everyone.

A brand new series in the Amazon Bestselling Magitech Chronicles universe. Magitech Legacy begins several months after the events of Godswar, and as the series unfolds you’ll encounter your favorite heroes from the perspective of a new protagonist!

Want to make your own characters? The Magitech Legacy uses the Magitech Chronicles RPG system, and allows you to be part of the action long after you finish the books. Learn more at magitechchronicles.com or by googling Magitech Chronicles World Anvil.

Worldbuilding With Chris Fox on the Building Dystopia Podcast

Chris recently appeared on the Building Dystopia podcast, discussing worldbuilding. The questions covered include the following:

  • Would you take us through your personal worldbuilding process, perhaps highlighting what you believe are the most important elements of worldbuilding?
  • What elements of the world contribute most to it becoming a transmedia world? What is it about a world that attracts other mediums and stories?
  • What is it about a world that encourages fan engagement, fan fiction, con participation, etc..?
  • What are your favorite transmedia worlds, and what is it about these worlds that make them appealing to transmedia expansion?
  • You are famous for preaching the gospel of write quickly and write for the market. Can I just recommend to our audience a few of your books, including “5K words per hour” (I still use your app) and “Write to Market”? You’d find a lot of Tolkien fans frothing at the mouth with the thought that you could create a new world for a novel, and write the novel, within 21 days as you have done in past video series. What special considerations, or perhaps compromises, have to be made when worldbuilding so quickly?
  • How do you think the author’s who are self-published approach worldbuilding differently from traditionally published authors? Do commercial considerations impact worldbuilding decisions, if so, how?
  • What do you believe is the author’s role in the expansion of a successful transmedia world?
  • What kind of ownership do you believe an author has of the world if it becomes successful enough to be expanded upon in the fan-fiction world?
  • How do you feel about worldbuilding outside of the sci-fi/fantasy genre? Do you believe it’s an important consideration for authors in other genres or other mediums?
  • Do you have any other advice for transmedia worldbuilders?

A pyramid predating all known cultures appears without warning. Its discovery throws into question everything we know about the origins of mankind.

A plague of werewolves spreads across the world. A sunspot larger than anything in recorded history begins to grow. Yet both pale in comparison to the true threat, the evil the werewolves were created to fight.

“It’s like Indiana Jones went through the Stargate and ended up in Aliens versus Predator.” – One of the author’s totally biased friends.

Godswar Released on Audiobook!

The seventh and final book in the Magitech Chronicles, Godswar, has been released on Audible!

Godswar AudiobookNefarius comes and gods tremble

Nefarius has risen. She is implacable. Unstoppable. God after god is fallen and consumed, and each time the terrible dragon-goddess grows stronger.

Nebiat has stolen the Spellship, depriving Voria of its strength when she needs it most. But Nebiat’s schemes have never been tested by someone like Talifax, and she will finally discover she’s not as clever as she believes.

One possibility of victory remains. Aran, Nara, and Kazon discover their true purpose, left by the elder god Xal when he planned for his own demise. With this contingency they have one chance to oppose Nefarius. One chance to stop the goddess that will devour everything.

If they fail darkness wins, and our universe will be extinguished. Succeeding carries its own price, one Aran must choose for others to live.
