The Ragged Mountains

I am very pleased to announce the release of my third novel The Ragged Mountains, now available on Kindle and iPad.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Ragged-Moun...

The Hollow is a peaceful village, a farming backwater among the free cities of the Western Lands, but when a local girl named Penelope Bell is kidnapped from her home in the middle of the night, that peace is shattered.

Unwilling to accept the loss of Penelope, a young striker named Gabriel Rain joins Penelope’s brother and sister on a quest to bring her home. Their journey takes them across the dangerous Grasslands and as far as the legendary Ragged Mountains themselves, where they find themselves caught between two sides of a bloody war. Along the way, they face dark wizards, ancient gods, and discover that the Ragged Mountains always take as much as they yield.

The Suicide Collectors sallys forth to Spain!

The foreign rights for The Suicide Collectors have recently been sold to Spain's La Factoría de Ideas, a science fiction publisher. This marks the book's second foreign rights sale, the first being the Italian rights. I'm excited to see the book translated into other languages. I like the idea of people in various parts of the world coming to Norman's story in their own language.

Cheers,
Dave
