I’m not sure how long this price will last so act now if you haven’t gotten round to this one it yet.
I’m very pleased to report that The Legion of Flame is an editor’s pick for best Sci-fi/Fantasy book of the month on Amazon.com. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s bought a copy so far, I really couldn’t do this without you.
For anyone interested in the wider world of The Draconis Memoria I’ve uploaded a Chronology of the Corporate Age, which covers the 2oo years prior to the events in The Waking Fire, a Dramatis Personae (in case you’ve forgotten who the characters are), and a guide to the Principal Corporations.
Also, for any aspiring writers I’ve also written a couple of writing craft articles:
‘Writing and Naming Fantasy Characters’ on Barnes and Noble.
‘Inspiration for Fantasy Authors’ on the Civilian Reader.
Finally, Australian readers wondering why The Legion of Flame ebook was priced at $49.99 will be pleased to note that this appears to have been the result of a software glitch and the price has now been corrected to $16.99.
The Legion of Flame – Book Two of The Draconis Memoria – is released today in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
