Riyria Chronicle Reader Quotes


For the print version of Drumindor, we put out the call for quotes we could use on the back of the book - and we were thrilled by the response. Of course there's only so much room, so many of the comments couldn't be used.  But it got Robin thinking - maybe we can see more reader's names in print if we do the same thing for books #1 - #4 of the Riyria Chronicles.

So, if you have read and enjoyed any of the following books, we'd love it if you could write a little recommendation quote - and we'll pick some different names to use for the other books in the series. 

 The titles we are soliciting quotes for are:
  • Riyria Chronicle #1 - The Crown Tower
  • Riyria Chronicle #2 - The Rose and the Thorn
  • Riyria Chronicle #3 - The Death of Dulgath
  • Riyria Chronicle #1 - The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter
So please use this link to submit your opinion.  And maybe you'll be seen on the back of the books as shown by the following mock up

The Storm via the Unavowed Kickstarter

    
Recently, I announced "The Cycle Project" which is my current work in progress that is a sequel to the Riyria Revelations. It will pull from all twenty of the books based in Elan. To fill in some important gaps in the overall story arc, I'm going to be publishing some short stories and the first one is called "The Storm." I'm debuting it as part of the Unavowed Anthology released by Shawn Speakman's Grim Oak Press.




Grim Oak Press puts out some of the best anthologies out there. I'm honored to be in several of them including Unfettered, Unfettered II, and Unbound.

Not only will it contain my short story, but also shorts from some of the best indie authors out there, many of whom are personal friends.
