Tales of Fascism

I originally released this book as a Ko-Fi exclusive as we were sliding towards fascism in the US, but now that we seem to be heading there at twice the speed of light, I figured it would be better to release the book to wide release. So, you can now order Tales of Fascism everywhere. Pick it up today at https://books2read.com/u/ml0RJW

Fascism has been a part of human history since the beginning of time, and it doesn't seem like it will be going away any time soon. Now, journey into a collection of stories from prize winning SF author, J Alan Erwine that looks at just how grim fascism really is.

Note to leaders throughout the world: These stories were written to caution mankind against fascism. They are not meant to be a blueprint for you to use to oppress your people.

A Taste of the Madness is returning

Years ago, Nomadic Delirium Press published a book of mine entitled Manic Musings of a Maniacal Mind. This massive book featured every short story I had published up to that point. Later, I broke the collection down into six story collections that were available very briefly through Kindle Unlimited. Now that I'm no longer distributing through Amazon, I'm re-releasing all of the e-books, with the first one coming out on January 6th. Eight more volumes will follow, each being published in one week intervals following the first release. Each volume will feature six stories (seven for the last two), and will only be $2. You can pre-order the first volume at https://books2read.com/u/mVp9l5

At a later date, I'll post the pre-order links for all of the volumes, but this should hold you over for now.

Taste of Tales is now available everywhere (almost)

Back when I was using Amazon as my distributor, I created a collection of eight of my stories that I made available through Kindle Unlimited. Now that I'm no longer using Amazon, you can now find this title almost everywhere else...except Amazon. Check it out at https://books2read.com/u/3R2eYj

For more than a quarter of a century, J Alan Erwine has been subjecting his readers to the twists and turns of his off-kilter mind, now you can download eight stories that cover the span of his career, highlighting a variety of his story styles.



Bestseller for December 2025

My bestselling title for December 2025 was my latest novel, Slave to the Stars: https://books2read.com/u/3Gg068

Tilmath was born a slave, but she was no ordinary slave. Unlike most humans, she was an Espari, a human capable of sensing the emotions of other beings.

Now, having escaped from her slave masters, the teenager finds herself on the run and about to meet some of the most interesting creatures she could ever imagine, and go on an adventure that she could never dream of. Using her poorly trained empathic senses, she tries to do everything she can to survive, but quickly learns that survival isn't the most important thing for a slave girl escaping to the stars.
