Snippet

Just forwarded a different scene to Diane (AKA Rhysabeth-Dane), and she loved it. It was a little 'cornier than this one though. I'd let her post it into the comments here if she wants to share, or she can keep it to herself. Until then, here's a peek at another scene in book 3. This is from a while back, but a fun peek into what the gang is up to, without giving away any real storyline.

Enjoy.



     Aelion closed his eyes and spoke in low tones. Undeniably Elven words floated to Mirsa’s ears, but flickers of images reminiscent of spoken magic fluttered at the corners of her awareness.
     The anti-shadows brightened further. The ambient light in the room did not lessen, but grew flat in comparison to the living brilliance. Wavering torch-fueled images writhed, stretching and curving in exaggerated horseshoe arcs that pulsated toward where the Elder’s hand rested on Kevon. The fluttering mismatched rhythms of the lights steadied, and fell into a regular ‘one-two… one-two’ pattern, and Mirsa felt her own pulse matching the light, and Kevon’s heartbeat.

     The light flowed slowly into Kevon, and his color improved a shade, as the rhythm slowed and grew more stable. The extra light dimmed away by degrees as Aelion’s speech drifted into silence.

Apprentice Swordceror shedding pounds?

No, Kevon's not starting a cleanse. He's not hooked on CrossFit. He's not even watching his figure.

All right, here's the skinny. For the first time, Apprentice Swordceror is going on sale in the UK. After a recent price adjustment to enable a Kindle Countdown promotion in that market, the first volume of The Blademage Saga will be available for the low, low, price of .99 GBP. That's way less than a basket of fish and chips! (I think...) It won't hurt your bottom line, or add to your waistline. It's the perfect light snack... err, read. Can you tell I do most of my writing in a sandwich shop?

All joking aside, this is a wonderful opportunity to get some Kindles fired up across the pond. The UK market is already a great supporter of the series, in no small part due to my wonderful cover artist, Paul Beeley. I look forward to getting even more feedback from fans over that direction.

The promotion will run from January 24th until January 30th, and the title will be discounted 50% for the whole week. Please tell everyone you know over there about it, especially if you think it is their 'cup of tea'.
