Update on the Free Novel Experiment
So some of you may know that Robin has been doing an experiment on Royal Road. She's basically posted two of the my novels for free in the hopes of finding new readers. So far, it's working well.
It hit the "Rising Star" list (albeit near the bottom), and stayed there for several weeks.It's currently in the Top 100 for Best Rated books (#92 to be precise).It's just a bit behind one of the most popular books on the site (Dungeon Crawler Carl)!
Not bad considering this site is mainly LitRPG and Progression Fantasy readers, and Riyria is neither of those.
Do you want to help?There are several ways to do this.Tell your friends that haven't read any Riyria books that they can read two of the novels for free from this link.
If you've already read the books - go out to the site and rank it, follow it, or favorite it. A review is also always appreciated.
If you haven't read the books yet, do so from Royal Road - it won't cost you a dime, and more views means better chances of hitting the Rising Star list again where more people will see the books!

Robin checked out the stats today and we moved up another 6 spots (now #41). That puts the Riyria Chronciles in the top 25 of Best-rated Fantasy on Royal Road. There are 42,118 fantasies on that site so we are now in the top .09%. So thanks so much for the help!
