Announcing my debut novel: Wizard of the Wasteland
I’m pleased to announce that Wizard of the Wasteland is now ready for release.
I’ve put Wizard of the Wasteland into Amazon’s Kindle Scout programme, which means if the book is selected Amazon will help to market the book so it reaches as many readers as possible.
But I need your help.
Please take a few seconds to nominate the book on the campaign page HERE. If the book is selected then Amazon will send you a free copy of the novel.
Here is the book description:
A reformed addict wanders the roads with his dog until he finds something incredible: the wizard of the wasteland…
Abel survived the apocalypse but drugs nearly killed him. He scratches out a living scavenging for anything of value until he witnesses the Great Alfonso’s magical extravaganza.
After Abel joins the magic show, he and the self-proclaimed wizard come upon a horrifying sight: a group of enslaved children suffering from the same addiction that nearly took Abel’s life.
As he and the wizard take on the challenge of freeing the slaves, Abel must resist the temptations of a world without hope. To keep the kids from reliving his miserable existence, he’ll have to risk everything he has left. And even having a wizard on his side may not be enough…
Wizard of the Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic action adventure novel. If you like heart-stopping action and new takes on survival tales, then you’ll love the first book in Jon Cronshaw’s new series.
