There is a new edition of Stewards of the Flame, formatted to match Promise of the Flame -- it's slightly smaller and easier to hold, has wider page margins, and is on off-white paper. Also the lettering on the cover is a little larger. The text has not changed except for minor error corrections and the addition of a reading group discussion guide. (You can tell the difference if ordering from Amazon because the publisher stated on the new edition is Ad Stellae Books.) The list price is a little lower than the earlier edition, and I am offering a 20% discount -- or both books for $25 -- plus free shipping at www.stewardsoftheflame.com.

My new novel Promise of the Flame has just been published. Though it's a sequel to Stewards of the Flame, it can be read by itself -- it doesn't depend on any more knowledge of the first book's plot than is explained in it. (However, reading it first will spoil the suspense of Stewards if you plan to read both.) People to whom the controversial view of health care in Stewards didn't appeal may like it better, as it doesn't deal with that -- but I can't say what it's about without giving away the ending of Stewards, so I won't do so here. There's full information about it at
