Multi-author Winter Fantasy Sale

I and five of my fantasy author friends have banded together to put some of our books on sale. What would normally cost more than $32 is now less than $8, which is lower than the non-sale price for just my book!

Each is the first in a series, except for Winter's Daughter, but that book was written as a standalone, and you can read it even if you've never read any of my other books.

These are all highly rated stories with more than 18,000 ratings on Goodreads, 80% of which are 4- or 5-star and they have an overall average of 4.2.

The sale is going on until January 27th.  I hope you'll check it out!

JOSH

As you might recall from my post "The Great Bird Trip of 2019 - Part Three"  back on May 2nd of 2019, we got a lime tree:

“Stop!” Robin shouted, her eyes fixed on the side of the road.

Assuming a small child was in hot pursuit of a bouncy ball rolling into my lane, or more importantly, she had spotted a new bird, I politely asked the Prowler Jarvis to come to a stop.

“Look! Look! The sign!”

On the side of the road, there was a propped up, hand-painted wooden board marked with the words: Key Lime Trees 4 Sale!

“Really?” I asked.

“I could make Key lime pies at home!”

“It’s snowing at home.”

“Josh can stay inside until spring.”

“Josh?”

She nodded. “That’s his name.”

“Whose name?”

“My Key lime tree. Josh Lyman.”

Seven minutes later I had a two-foot lime tree in the back seat. 


It is now nearly a year later.


 

It's the middle of January. Great pie.

Pile of Bones Reaches #1

I've had several books hit "#1" in some sub-category:  #1 in Epic Fantasy, #1 in Sword and Sorcery, I've even had a few #1 for the audiobook edition in fantasy, but I think this is the first time I've hit #1 on the "big fantasy" list that includes all formats (audio, kindle, and printed books) without any sub-classifications. Interestingly, my title is the only one that doesn't have a media tie in like a movie or series on streaming sites like Hulu or Netflix. The fact that is free is certainly helping ;-).  But still, you take your victories where you find them.

Keep in mind that the Suri and Minna short story will not be free forever. In fact, the audiobook is only free until March 7th, so pick it up now.  Even if you don't' have an audible account, you can still download free content. Or, if you prefer your stories in the ebook format, you can get a copy here.

Don't get Pile of Bones...yet.

Hey all, well the good news is that the audio version of the new Suri and Minna short story "Pile of Bones" launched on schedule today. The bad news is it's not currently free (even though it is supposed to be).  So, please don't pick up your copies yet. I'll let you know as soon as it changes over to the freebie status.  Here's a bit about the story:


When a storm reveals a mysterious cave behind a waterfall, the young mystic’s apprentice and her wolf investigate. Inside, she discovers a secret place containing a pile of human bones and the young girl makes what could be a fatal mistake. In this Legends of the First Empire short story, we witness the events that helped shape the woman who would one day become Suri the Mystic, the first Rhune Artist, and a hero to a generation.
