GHOST IN THE COWL now underway
Now that FROSTBORN: THE UNDYING WIZARD is in the bag, it’s time to move on to GHOST IN THE COWL.
Actually, it’s been going well – I’m currently on Chapter 10 of 22. Brief excerpts to follow!

I am pleased to report that FROSTBORN: THE UNDYING WIZARD (the third book of the FROSTBORN series) is no available at Amazon, Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, Amazon Canada, Amazon Australia, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Smashwords. (Kobo and iTunes should come along shortly.)

I’d like to thank everyone who has read the first two FROSTBORN books (and the prequel novel) – launching a new series is always a gamble for a writer, but people seem to be enjoying the books so far.

and speaking of SOUL OF TYRANTS…
…I would like to thank Freebooksy for giving a boost to DEMONSOULED, SOUL OF TYRANTS, and SOUL OF SERPENTS today! That was certainly a pleasant surprise.

SOUL OF TYRANTS top 20!
I am pleased to report that for the first time since it was published in 2011, SOUL OF TYRANTS has made it onto the top 20 of its category on Amazon US. Thanks, everyone!
Actually, I wrote SOUL OF TYRANTS in 2005, so it took nine years for the book to get there. Of course, in 2005, the world was different. There was no Kindle, “ebooks” were these horrible ghastly hybrids of PDFs and HTML that textbook publishers attempted to inflict upon students and instructors, and the most advanced phone available was a Motorola RAZR. The closest thing to an iPad was a giant steam-powered prototype buried somewhere in Apple’s R&D dungeons.
The Internet has created massive new opportunities for both writers and readers, a fact for which I am very grateful – without ebooks, neither DEMONSOULED nor THE GHOSTS would exist. Thank you, all!

GHOST IN THE FLAMES – 10,000th copy today
Cover design by Clarissa Yeo.
I am pleased to report that GHOST IN THE FLAMES sold its 10,000th copy sometime today.
Thanks everyone, all 10,000 of you! There are books from major publishers that don’t sell 10,000 copies…but it’s hard to keep Caina down for long.

a quote from FROSTBORN: THE UNDYING WIZARD
“Of all the fates that might have awaited Calliande of Tarlion, the thought that you might be completely and utterly forgotten…that never even occurred to me. And that you will die never remembering who you are…ah, but Shadowbearer’s cruelty is almost artistic in its profundity.”
