Fire Season on Kindle - 99p

For Easter, and to celebrate the launch of the Kindle Edition, Fire Season on Kindle is now 99p, down from £2.97. For readers overseas it is also available from Amazon.com and Amazon.de at a similar discount.

Following the interest in the book after the Sample Sunday extract, I'm using this post to answer a few questions.

For people looking for the discount rates the book is available from:
And as far as I am aware, the offer will be on until end of May.

If you want a sample of the book, the Sample Sunday post is an extract. Alternative the free e-book Arrival can give you a longer sample of my writing style.

Here's the publisher's press release:

For Easter, Fire Season by VH Folland is now 99p on Kindle. (For US and German readers, it has been similarly reduced on Amazon.com and Amazon.de.)

"Thought provoking, emotional and compassionate, this is a book I could read again. A recommended read." Clover Hill Book Reviews

The story of a remote airstrip in Fire Season, the novel has been well received. Following the busy paperback launch at ExCel, the Kindle edition is now following suit with this promotion which marks Ragged Angel Ltd's first venture into e-books outside their Principia Malefex game line.

"It was a wonderful book about a community in action, a great vacation book." EK Family Reviews

For the duration of the offer, the reduced rate is available in the UK from Amazon.co.uk, or from the Amazon.de or Amazon.com for international readers.

"...hidden twists and turns paving Folland's well-laid path of adventure all the way to a thrilling conclusion." J. McAlpine CR5 Magazine

I think that covers the main points raised in my inbox. If not, then please let me know.

If it always gets this much interest, I might do sample sunday again, hopefully with a sample of my current WIP which I am aiming to finish by next weekend.

Fire Season on Kindle Part Two

While I'm not overly obsessive, for an author whose book just came out in another format worldwide, I did just want to put the official press release in below.

While nice to read, and flattering it has also reminded me that the launch event is in less than two weeks. If you will excuse me, I'm off to the pub to soothe my nerves. What happened to the days when all authors had to do was write?

--- Press Release ---

Due to the success of the short story prequel Arrival, downloaded over eight thousand times, the e-book release of Fire Season was moved up to 2nd April 2011. Fire Season is now available for download internationally, from both Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com, and priced in the UK at £2.97.

A gripping flight adventure, Fire Season is the debut novel by British author VH Folland, which is due for national release on 16th April. Given a limited release before Christmas, the paperback edition of the book has already been receiving good reviews:

"...hidden twists and turns paving Folland's well-laid path of adventure all the way to a thrilling conclusion."
James McAlpine, CR5 Magazine.

"Thought provoking, emotional and compassionate, this is a book I could read again. A recommended read."
Clover Hill Book Reviews


Copies of the e-book will be available at the paperback's national launch event on 16th April at Salute 2011, held in Excel, London, UK.

Fire Season out on Kindle

Fire Season is now out on Kindle. It is £2.97 from Amazon UK (view Amazon.co.uk).

It is also available from Amazon.com for international buyers.

A press release is to follow from the publisher. Meanwhile, I am very glad to see it is up, and hope it is well received. I am also extremely happy with the price - while not the minimum of 99p, it seems a reasonable and affordable level. After the stories of ebooks that cost more than paperbacks, I was somewhat nervous.

Fire Season e-book announced

Well, with one week to go I can announce that Fire Season will be available on Kindle from the 2nd April. It is being released through Amazon, and will be available directly from their website. I'll put a link up the moment I have one.

Hopefully, this will also mean it will be available on the 16th for the launch.

More details will be available soon, and I will add them as I find out more.
