The Abyssal Angels
The Abyssal Angels, S. Connolly Almost forgot to post this here! If you weren’t quick enough to get copies of Infernal Colopatiron while they were available, you can get copies of The Abyssal Angels, which is an affordable redux of Infernal Colopatiron (available in inexpensive hardcover, paperback, and ebook) that discusses gate opening and theophany and includes SOME of the information contained in Infernal Colopatiron.

Make No Mistake
It seems that small, start-up traditional publishers have a lot of misconceptions about independent authors and the publishing industry in general.
