Lake of Spirits available on Kindle and Nook
As the title of this post suggests, Lake of Spirits is now available for all those who read ebooks:
If you don't have a Kindle or Nook device, you can always download the free software to your computer or phone -- just follow the links on the Kindle or Nook pages. I have the free apps on my phone and the ebooks look great.
(I'm aware of a typo in the Kindle description, and will fix that in due course.)
Also available now is a free preview of the first three chapters.
I've updated my Buy Books page accordingly. Note that you can now pre-order signed printed editions of Lake of Spirits if you want to get an early copy! That's because yesterday I uploaded the files to Lightning Source (my printer) and am now awaiting submission approval, after which I can push the big fat red button that says "Publish."
Once published, the book will start showing up as available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and at that point I can stock up. So if you plan to buy a printed copy, please feel free to pre-order so you can be sure of an early copy from that first batch (probably in 2-3 weeks from now).
And when you've read Lake of Spirits, PLEASE let me know what you think by posting feedback or reviews. Ta muchly, folks! :-)
Very exciting news! The cover looks awesome and the story makes me want to chain you to your desktop and have you crank out the next volume. Lovely work!
Hi from another campaigner.
Looks like a very interesting set of stories, there.
Wow! Your ISLAND OF FOG series sounds fascinating! It's so great to meet you! I'm a fellow campaigner in the MG/YA group.
Brian, I wish you'd been able to come to Dragon*Con! More on that in my next post.
Meredith and Brenda, thanks for stopping by. I'll get back to you when I return home tomorrow. :-)
