3-Day Promo Wrap-up

Well the 3-Day Promo where readers could pick up the first book in my Tales of Tal'Avern fantasy series, Province of a Thief, has ended.

I'd like to say thank you to everyone who took advantage and picked up Province for free.  I hope you enjoy your first steps into the world of Tal'Avern.

Province takes place in only a part of the world, and introduces you to characters that I hope you enjoy reading about and following along with as they are thrust into a dark plot that has been planned for long years.

If you missed out on the special promotion, that's okay!  Province is available in digital format on Amazon for only $3.49.  Part of the reason why I chose the digital path is because it allows you, the reader, to pay far less than you would for a physical copy.  I'm a firm believer that digital books are the way to go.  Without adding in printing costs and other factors, it gives you the opportunity to read the same story for much less than if it were in print.

That's not to say I'm opposed to print books!  I'll be the first to say that there's just something about holding a book in your hands that can't be duplicated.  And yes, I am very seriously considering making the books available in print eventually.

Right now, I'm concentrating on working on the 3rd book in the Tal'Avern series.  I'm only about 25k words into it as of this blog, but already I wish I could type at 1000wpm. 

I'm truly excited about where this next part in the series is going, and I hope that those of you who have read/are reading/are going to read Province will continue on with the follow-up, Darkness and Dragons: Volume I.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't invite you to let myself and others know what your thoughts are on the books by leaving a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads.

I appreciate every thoughtful review, whatever rating you give the books.  Some of you may love them, some may not.  That is the nature of reading.  But by all means, let us know!

At the end of my books are several links:  My Twitter, my Facebook Author Page, etc.  Don't be shy!  Get in touch with me if you'd like to!  That is why those links are at the end of my books.  I write because I love being a storyteller, but it is my greatest honor and pleasure that you allow me into your lives and give me the opportunity to entertain and delight you.

My readers truly mean a lot to me, and I love hearing from them and connecting with them.  Even if it's just a simple hello, I always take time to respond to my readers.

With that, I shall end this particular blog.  The world of Tal'Avern is in turmoil, and I must get back to it and write down the events so that you can read about them!

Have an amazing day everyone!


All My Best,

Scott

3 Day Promotion

Hello everyone!

It's been some time since I posted anything.  Life sometimes has that side-effect.  So a quick update - the Library Campaign ended Aug. 31st.  It didn't do nearly as well as I had hoped it would, however I did do a speaking engagement at the library on Aug. 14th which generated some nice donations toward the library, so overall while it all wasn't as successful as I had hoped, it was a success nonetheless.

On to new things.  I've begun working on the third book in the Tales of Tal'Avern series.  Province of a Thief is the first book in the series, and Darkness and Dragons: Volume I follows up.

I mention this because yesterday (Sept. 19th) was my birthday, and so to celebrate I'm giving all of you a gift!  I've begun a special 3 day promotion, which I just checked and it HAS gone active, so from now through Sept. 22 you can pick up the first book in the series, Province of a Thief

FOR *** FREE ***

Note the capital letters which suggest shouting and the asterisks which highlight the word FREE even more.  Because the promotion is only going for 3 days, everyone.  So take advantage!!!

For convenience, here is the link to the US Amazon site:

UK readers will need to go to the UK Amazon site which is here:

And now, if you will all excuse me, the world of Tal'Avern is in turmoil, and so I must return to it and get back to working on the third book in the series!  Have a great day everyone!
