We are less than a week from the release of From Ashes They Rose. I am so excited as another book takes it place in the series. I have always said I write for my eldest son’s level. His response after reading this manuscript was – “It’s getting complex. I like that.”
That made me very happy…actually ecstatic. It is true, as with most story arcs for a series, but if he is saying this (never mind his use of the word complex!), then I have raised the bar as intended. Sacrificial Flame, the book that precedes it, set a different pace and maturity, and still remains my favorite.
My publishers are also proving complex. They have decided to reduce all three e-books for the first trilogy to 99 cents each for this celebratory week. I have previously written what I think of such a move when they do this for one book, but three! So until October 4. they are all available for less than a latte. They aren’t as sweet, less fattening, but may keep you up at night reading, so you might want the caffeine after all.
Still, I shall stoically endure the … not exactly sure what…frustration? If you haven’t yet finished the first trilogy, this is probably your best time to do so and, if you do, please take a moment to share a review on Amazon. Me? I need a coffee!
Good Reading! And a belated Happy Hobbit Day! September 22 is generally recognized (don’t ask me what generally means here!) as the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo. May we all celebrate our one hundred and eleventy birthday with fireworks, wizards, and good friends.
