Fire Season on Smashwords

After much discussion with the publisher, Fire Season is now available on Smashwords. This means it is available for the Nook, and in epub format for the Sony and other eReaders. There's also a DRM-free .mobi version available here for Kindle users. Fire Season will be coming to other stores, like Barnes & Noble etc. in the next few weeks.

It's still controlled by the publisher, managed by their account, and just linked to my Smashwords account. It seems rather odd to have something I can view but not directly edit. Given the number of epub downloads of Arrival, it seems sensible to have the main novel available in that format.

The only other piece of news is that adverts for The Docks should start showing up this month. I've been pointed in the direction of Project Winderful, who manage advertising for a range of online sites. The problem is that many of them are webnovels or webcomics, so my daily TBR (to-be-read) pile is growing.

Easter Holiday Offer - Fire Season 99p on Kindle

A short announcement, because this is some good news I was not expecting.

For the Easter holidays, Ragged Angel have discounted Fire Season to 99p (and a similar discount for readers on .com and .de). Apparently this was arranged yesterday but has spent today working through the Amazon's systems, hence the announcement on the bank holiday.

While the offer is on, you can get the discounted price from Amazon here:

New Review

A new review of the book has just gone up, and it's also appeared on Amazon.com for the Kindle edition A review within a day of it going live was unexpected.

The review, from E & K Family Books, is also available on their blog (here).

"The characters are rich and their interactions natural and unforced. I loved the multi layered personalities each character brought forward."
