I've never shipped anything before, so if the shipping doesn't happen within the scheduled time I really apologize...just cut me a little slack in that regard
.It's now available in the Kindle store!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00688N62M
Just contact me and let me know if you want one from me and we can meet up somewhere. My supplies are limited, however, so if you want one from me...you better ask fast!
I’m currently setting up my eBay account for people who don’t live near me and want a signed copy. It should be up this week. I’ll be accepting PayPal ONLY.
Order it at your local Barnes and Noble/book store. (It’s not on shelves yet.)
You can also buy it in e-book form for Nook. I’m currently getting a Kindle version set up through Amazon, so it *should* be available for Kindle soon enough.
For all you TL;DR people out there: you can stop here if you want. The below is just what the book is about.
Interested? Buy a copy from Amazon/B&N or straight from me. Not interested? Fine. Want to say congratulations and leave? Also fine. Want to just leave and forget I ever dragged you here? That’s fine too!
The Genre/General Facts
-Fantasy/medieval (think: Lord of the Rings without the Old English) with some mystery aspects
-It may be fantasy, but it’s still realistic (everything is/will be explained)
-Short chapters. (Most chapters run between 3-5 pages or so.)
-222 pages
- Easy to follow, easy to read
-No annoying filler or flowery crap
-Most importantly, it’s fun!
About the story itself
-Fast-paced and action packed. There aren’t too many chapters without at least a little bit of action.
-My narrative is limited; characters speak most of what’s going on rather than me writing it.
-Not much "downtime." Even when there's some sort of long dialogue between characters, expect something to be happening elsewhere.
-There's a lot of dialogue, and each of the main characters has a distinctly different dialect (way of speaking).
-Once you get to know the characters you should be able to tell who is speaking before the “he said, she said” tags.
-Speaking of dialogue, it's one of my greater strengths. Expect many meaningful phrases and quotes.
-It's violent. The beginning fight scenes start off tame, but it doesn't stay that way for long. Expect to cringe when you read some of my battle scenes.
-It's emotional. You'll get a strong sense that my characters are real, and their problems will (hopefully) invoke reactions.
-While it’s mainly serious, there’s a bit of humor scattered throughout.
-Each of the 76,000 words I've chosen is necessary. There are no long, drawn-out descriptions of people's hair, the floor, curtains, or other stupid crap that writers feel the need to describe heavily. Simply put, it's blunt and straight forward.
-To sum it up: it's an action-packed thriller that will make you cringe in disgust, tear up from sadness, and laugh your head off.
If that isn’t sufficient, check it out on Google Books: http://books.google.com/books?id=Zl8L5VRPCH8C&pg=PA54&dq=the+dream+war+the+royal+seal&hl=en&ei=xITATvPVDurZ0QHKvZXcBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false.
I'll take questions such as "How did you get published?" "who is your publisher?" etc through private message. Thank you guys for reading if you got this far!
