The 2024 C. Litka Novel - Passage to Jarpara
I am happy to announce that my 2024 novel, Passage to Jarpara was released on Thursday, 21 March 2024.
The story:
Taef Lang must set out on his grand quest…
… To find a job.
Now a married man, the time has come for Taef to begin his long-delayed career as a professor of Island archaeology and/or Island history. To do so, he and Lessie, along with Sella and Carz, set sail for the Island and the University of Jarpara.
Passage to Jarpara is a travelogue of that journey. It’s an account of islands called on, old friends and acquaintances met, new ones made, as well as potential pirates, curse-beasts, haunted Tiki palaces, fire islands, and a hidden race of immortals. In short, it’s an episodic record of the everyday life of the island-studded Tropic Sea.
Passage to Jarpara is the third and final volume of Tales of the Tropic Sea from the pen of C. Litka. It draws a fitting conclusion to the adventures of Taef, Sella, and Lessie that begin with their voyage to Redoubt Island and continued with the freeing of the Prisoner of Cimlye. It blends fantasy, science fiction, adventure, and romance told in C. Litka's classic lighthearted style. Like all his novels, it features engaging characters, witty dialog, meticulous world-building, and mysteries to be solved in unexpected ways.

NEW! C. Litka Audiobooks are now on Audible!
And my second announcement is that most of my books are now available as audiobooks on Amazon and Audible for $3.99.(The minimum price Amazon allows) These auto-narrated audiobooks from Amazon are part of a new beta program that I was offered and was more than happy to take part in. I have to say that I was very happy with the AI narration quality from Amazon. The only hitch in the program so far is that for some unknown reason, I've not been able to get The Bright Black Sea, The Lost Star's Sea, and Shadows of an Iron Kingdom working as audiobooks. Hopefully I'll get that worked out with Amazon shortly.
I also have six audiobooks available for FREE on Apple Books, the rest are hanging fire, and have been for the better part of three months. What Google and Amazon can do in hours, Apple appears unable to do in months. Hopefully at some time in the not too distant future Apple will get around to converting the rest of my books, though a this point I'm not holding my breath.
