Purveyor of fine fantasy adventures

A taster of The Wild Hunt series

It’s always tough for a new author to get traction in the marketplace and make a connection with new readers, and really, all we want is to be read. It’s why we do what we do.

I’m on my third book now, which means I’m not exactly the new kid on the block any more, but I am still enough of a novice in the publishing world that I have to work at getting the word out. I blog, I tweet, I give away dozens of books here Restaurant table being set upand on Goodreads – sometimes I feel like I am single-handedly keeping our tiny local sub-post office in business.

Yet each time I run a giveaway to promote a new release, especially now that we’re into the meat of the series, I get feedback along the lines of “I’ve never heard of you” or “I’ve never read any of your work”.

So I had an idea.

If people have never read any of my work, I should give them some to read. A tasting menu, if you will, of The Wild Hunt.

Step this way, messieurs et mesdames – your table is ready.

To start, a little Songs of the Earth: Chapter 1 | 2 | 3

Then to follow, Trinity Rising: Chapter 1 | 2 | 3

And don’t forget to leave some room for The Raven’s Shadow: Chapter 1 | 2 | 3

Bon appetit!

Ask me anything!

In order to help launch THE RAVEN’S SHADOW, which came out today, the kind folks at Reddit/fantasy have invited me to do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on August 22nd. I will be there from 7pm CST (that’s 1am for UK folks) to answer questions about quite literally anything you like. Cats vs dogs (cat), tea vs coffee (tea), writing process (um, do I have to have one?), you name it.

Last time I did one of these, I had an absolute blast, so come along, I will stand you a (virtual) adult beverage, and we can lean on the bar and talk bollocks until the sun comes up.

Tonight’s AMA is now open for questions. Look forward to seeing you there!
