Douglas Smith said "maybe" to attending the event: FREE E-BOOK - HOWL OF THE WOLF
208001
date: February 15, 2012 12:00AM
location: Amazon.com Kindle store, The United States
description: FREE BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Drako is a planet on the fringe of civilized space suitable for colonization, but a society of telepathic wolves already occupies the world. The Zebulon escapes to Drako to hide, but the dying king forces Captain Donovan to compete for the crown to protect his crew. Faced with superstitions, hatred, and eminent danger, the crew must adapt to a feudal society without using modern tools or weapons. A pack of telepathic wolves might be their only friends.

Douglas said: Diane, in your invitation you mention that you've "scheduled two FREE book days for my Science Fiction novel, Howl of the Wolf." Is that through Amazon? If so, how did you go about that?

Thanks.

Wonderful characters that I enjoyed spending time with, but ultimately the plot that was hinted at in the beginning was never realized. The story ended up being a series of unrelated events that had nothing to do with advancing the plot forward. Th...more

A wonderful book and a book full of wonder. I always enjoy spending time with de Lint's characters. They are so well drawn, and the characters in this book are no exception--each is unique and deeply human, each with flaws, but flaws that you can for...more
