Titan Mage Rising (#4) is out!

March 16, 2023 by Edie Skye Leave a Comment

When I smashed 100,000+ words of writing into 3 months on Titan Mage Dragon, I said NEVER AGAIN.

And then promptly did it again. 😅

*I find that I can churn out a solid 40,000 words a month, and so with Titan Mage‘s 3-month release schedule, I budget two months of writing time for 80,000 word books, allowing for one month of editing/packaging since I do all my own stunts (except for illustration; that’s Jackson Tjota).

That … did not happen. But on the upside, you have another 100,000+ words of Titan Mage goodness to look forward to, this time with some wack twists that surprised even me as I was writing it! 😮

Titan Mage Rising

Titan Mage #4
by Edie Skye

***

Sinister cultists? A catgirl kidnapping? An elite enemy Titan? Sounds like a job for Harper’s Harriers!

Locke has finally adjusted to life on the fantastical world of Haven—but with his hot new body, magic powers, and giant mech called a Titan, how could he not? Especially since he flies on a ship full of gorgeous women who call him captain (both of his airship … and in their beds).

Soon he’ll have to put all those resources to use because Peth, the incorporeal space witch trapped inside his Titan, has experienced a dark premonition about the Crystal Moon—and in Locke’s experience, “weird moon stuff” is just another way to spell trouble.

Which proves prescient when moon cultists show up alongside a terrifyingly advanced Titan wielding all four magical elements. They assault the Harriers’ airship and kidnap one of his crew—the shy catgirl Sloan, who has a dark history with these cultists.

Locke is determined not to let any harm come to her, and the Harper’s Harriers surge into action. But why do the cultists want Sloan in the first place? How do these events connect to the ever-darkening shadow on the Crystal Moon? And are their Titans powerful enough to take on this new, mysterious foe?

WARNING: Titan Mage Rising is a fun fantasy adventure containing steam both punk and smutty: sensuous airship captains, naughty engineers, shameless mech pilots, mischievous catgirls, and salacious space witches. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

The Story of Edie Skye

July 22, 2022 by Edie Skye 4 Comments

*Modified from an original post on the Holo Writing blog.

OK y’all, it’s time for the epic story of how this whole Titan Mage thing happened, so buckle up and grab some popcorn:

It begins in 2020.

When I’m not writing spicy mecha steampunk as Edie Skye, I’m writing non-spicy fantasy as H.P. Holo. My husband also writes, as Jacob Holo.

One of my jobs as writer/author wife/handler/marketer/general awesome person is to research keywords for our books’ Amazon ads. One of the places I look for keyword ideas is the also-boughts on our books, and for some reason, the also-boughts of Jacob’s anime-inspired giant mech series, Seraphim Revival, were loaded with … harem books.

The Seraphim Revival is perhaps the least spicy thing either of us has ever written, so naturally I was curious and started looking into the featured titles.

Which is when Jacob walked into my office and saw my computer screen full of booby book covers.

I joked, “We’re writing the wrong books, Jacob.”

Jacob joked, “You should write a harem novel.”

I joked, “You write the outline and design the babes and I’ll do it.”

I neglected to realize that Jacob was between projects at the time.

It was also the beginning of lockdown. Which meant he was at home. With free time.

And Jacob’s brain is not one to sit idle.

Which is why he came to me later with 5 outlines for a complete series of harem novels, complete with a sci-fi-inspired elemental magic system, a mech upgrade system, character details for the main cast, and the first few chapters, just because.

There’s slightly more to it than that, though. I struggle with OCD (and it’s the primary reason why my writing/writing process is often so chaotic).

We didn’t know it was OCD in early 2020, but we did know there was a problem – manifesting heavily in my inability to write consistently, among other more practical problems – and one of Jacob’s suggested solutions to help me over this hump was for him to outline a project and oversee details of the world, and me to do the actual writing.

One of my greatest challenges pre-OCD diagnosis was simply managing the complex details/consistency of my own world in The Wizard’s Circus (the sequel to The Wizard’s Way, still in progress). This way – with Jacob in charge of the basic foundation – if I had a question about the world, I could just ask him for the answer instead of trying to make up one and thus accidentally overcomplicate things.

I resisted the idea, partly because it felt like admitting defeat – that I couldn’t write a book on my own – and partly because we didn’t really have a concept that we wanted to collaborate on at the time.

Until I was formally diagnosed with OCD in late 2020.

Being able to put a name to the monster I faced changed how I approached the monster. I now had a specific lens through which to analyse my problem and as a result could pinpoint how it was manifesting in my writing, and how to fix it.

At the time, The Wizard’s Circus was a hot mess and I didn’t have the skills to address all its flaws. So I decided to rebuild my writing techniques and style from the ground up, keeping my OCD tendencies in mind and playing to my strengths. The result was Monster Punk Horizon.

However, around that time, Jacob and I also remembered his earlier suggestion – that he outline something for me to write. MPH was already well on its way by that point – and my confidence in my own writing back up, since it was wholly of my own imagination – and so I was more open to writing something that had already been laid out by someone else.

Plus there was something totally hilarious about collaborating with my husband on a harem novel.

And the sheer ridiculousness of that situation unlocked something inside my brain while I was writing it. The first draft of Titan Mage was done in less than a month, and it required very little editing from Jacob.

It showed me that, despite my years of struggling to finish a book, I had it in me to write quickly, and well.

Titan Mage, then, sure, started as a joke.

But it – and Jacob’s help through it – also played a pivotal role in helping me wrangle the monster that is my OCD.

So in a way, it’s also a strange little love letter. â˜şď¸

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome, everyone, to my first blog post! 😄

And wow, what a ride it’s already been. Titan Mage released a month ago today, and while I knew it would be a success, I did not anticipate how much of a success. It’s spent much of June and July at #1 in Steampunk Fiction on Amazon, hovered variously around the Top 10 of Steampunk Science Fiction (Kindle Store) and Men’s Adventure Fiction, and is still going strong.

That said, I wanted to give a special thanks to all of my readers – and especially those of you who liked the book enough to stop by and visit this blog. An author’s nothing without people who read and enjoy her work, and y’all have made this an amazing launch. ☺️
