My debut novel releases February 10th--Buy it!
« on: January 29, 2015, 09:06:18 PM »
Hey, 40KO-ers! My debut novel, The Iron Ring, is coming out on 2/10 from Harper Voyager Impulse! You can pre-order now on Amazon.

Here's the book description:

Quote
Tyvian Reldamar—criminal mastermind, rogue mage, and smuggler of sorcerous goods—has just been betrayed by his longtime partner and left for dead in a freezing river. To add insult to injury, his mysterious rescuer took it upon himself to affix Tyvian with an iron ring that prevents the wearer from any evildoing.

Revenge just got complicated.

On his quest to get even, Tyvian navigates dark international conspiracies, dodges midnight assassins, and uncovers the plans of the ruthless warlord Banric Sahand—all while running from a Mage-Defender determined to lock him up. Tyvian will need to use every dirty trick in the book to avoid a painful and ignominious end, even as he discovers that sometimes even the world's most devious man needs a shoulder to lean on.

The sequel is out in June. The third book should be out this Fall. Much awesome. Many excitement.

I will indeed! You can pre-order it now!

Also, it will be an e-book release only (initially)--Kindle, Nook, or whatever. They intend to release a hard copy with the first two books in it, but that won't be until the summer at the earliest.

Always make sure to post a review when possible. It helps the author and other readers. A review on Amazon and/or Goodreads goes a long way.

I have author pages on both Goodreads and Amazon. Check me out--those pages have listings for two of my upcoming novels as well as most of the anthologies in which I've published short stories.

I love reviews! Especially good ones!  ;)

I've only just started with Goodreads. An encouragement for 40 books in 2015 goal. My reviews are pretty lackluster as they're either glowing or I don't bother. Working on that as a means of feedback to authors.

In most cases you aren't so much writing to the author as to other potential readers. Very few authors are going to take your reviews to heart (even the good reviews!). It's a professional skill to build a thick enough skin that the reviews don't get to you (if they did, you wouldn't get far in a business that is 99% rejection). That said, it's still thrilling to know people are reading what you write (no matter what they say...but, again, hopefully good things).

Haven't. It is on my list. My pleasure reading, though, is limited to what I can squeeze in when I'm not teaching classes. Then all my reading is either student papers or classics that I'm teaching. I read probably 20 novels a year, but only five of those I get to pick.  :(

Hmm. Just realized it's the kindle version. Is there a way to get the non-kindle version?  I know I can just download the kindle app if I need to.

Here's the Nook version, if you prefer, and you can also buy it direct through my publisher here in iPad/Android formats.

Hopefully that helps. There's also the Kindle App, too, if none of that works.

Thanks! Of note: there won't be a hard copy version for a while. It's just e-book for now, so you don't need to watch out for it--you can buy it *right now*  :)

That said, if you're opposed to e-books, there will be a hard copy version (containing both parts 1 and 2 in an omnibus edition) released in July (I think--the exact date is not set in stone).

I think I'll wait for the hard copy as I'm a bit of a traditionalist like that.  Plus if it has parts one and two then that's all the better!

Hopefully it makes it across the pond! (I mean, I *think* it will--not really sure if it would require additional negotiation with Harper Voyager UK or not)

Anyway, with any luck, you'll be able to get it inside a year as a real, honest-to-god paperback.
