Abridged Edition of Kingdom Asunder now up

12/21/2016

0 Comments

 
Yes, kids, the abridged edition of Kingdom Asunder has been released into the wild. It's a free and chunky (59,000 words) version which includes the Penmere side of the story, whilst removing almost all the Esden chapters. Practically a story in itself, and a hefty free sample of what will become a trilogy.

It's up on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords and probably many other places. 

The artwork is different than the full-sized e-book. I went for the Penmere crest (a white dragon). Varying the artwork will hopefully draw more eyes than simply replicating it, and I may end up doing a Twitter poll to see which is the most popular (for the sake of the paperback that will be coming. I intend to start work on that fairly soon, but have no idea how lengthy the process will be).

And don't forget, Journeys, in which I have a short story, comes out in about a month. So, hold onto your Christmas vouchers, gift certificates and so on until then. Black Sails is really rather good.

Saint Lucy's Day special offer, and progress report

12/13/2016

It's been about a fortnight since Kingdom Asunder came out. So far, the reviews I've got (4 each on UK and US Amazon) have been very good, mostly 5*. Sales, it must be said, have been lower than I'd hoped.

Obviously, sales matter more, but good reviews can mean someone discovering your work later are more likely to try more of it (if they've read your only 4* book and the rest are 2*, it probably looks less appealing) and it's always a relief when people enjoy what I write, as opposed to thinking I should be soaked in honey and tied up outside an army ant colony.

Progress continues with the third book in the trilogy (currently 3/4 into the first draft). The second, Traitor's Prize, is about halfway through beta-reading,but that has a natural slowdown at this time of year. On other fronts, I'm giving serious consideration to releasing (perhaps self-publishing) Sir Edric's Kingdom in 2017, ahead of Traitor's Prize. 

My next release is Journeys, a fantasy anthology featuring my short story Black Sails, which is due for release in January 2017.

But first, rejoice! It's Saint Lucy's Day, and she, after Apollo, is the most important person to get on-side when it comes to writing. Obviously you can't sacrifice goats to a saint. That would be silly.

But you can have a discount for a book. Using code FY45U, go to click here to download Journey to Altmortis for free.

It's a cracking tale of seven assorted ragamuffins, led by the siblings Thaddeus and Lynette Falchester, on a mission to reclaim stolen family heirlooms, plunder an ancient underground city, and perhaps have a slice of revenge into the bargain. A forest of blood, cannibalism, mesmerising demons and a clutch of dragons await within (and it's free)!

Journey to Altmortis occurs in the same world as Kingdom Asunder, but there's no storyline/character overlap, so it's ideal to read whether you've enjoyed Kingdom Asunder and want some more from that world before Traitor's Prize comes out, or if you want to see what my writing's like ahead of perhaps buying Kingdom Asunder.

    About Me
    I've always loved reading
    and writing, particularly fantasy and classical history. I'm also quite into F1 and politics and have no idea why this section is double-spaced.
