So the sale for Age of Myth was supposed to end yesterday (according to Del Rey) but I see it's still $1.99 (rather than $9.99) if you've not gotten your copy yet, I'd nab one quick as I don't know how much longer it'll be at 80% off.

Happy Anniversary to me! Exactly 10 years ago today Aspirations Media Inc. (a small-press based in Minnesota) published my debut novel, The Crown Conspiracy. That book is now the first 1/2 of Theft of Swords (the rights to the Riyria Revelations were sold to Orbit (fantasy imprint of big-five publisher Hachette) in 2010, and it's still selling well.

Just 42 hours left in the Age of Swords crowdfunding campaign we've done well (raised 246% of the desired goal). But if we can bring in another $2,068 we'll meet the 5th stretch goal, and all backers will receive a new Suri and Minna short story. Thanks, everyone for all the amazing support.

Fall is upon us, the Riyria hardcovers are in the works, and it's time to clear out some excess stock. So let's have a sale, shall we?

Resellers have raised the out-of-print hardcovers copies of Age of Swords to $89 - $191 (even for used copies)! What an outrage. Not only that, but I'll earn $0 on any sales of these copies. But I have launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise the $11,360 to get my hands on as many copies as I can, and I'll resell them at the original $28 ($22 for IndieGoGo backers).
