What is the price of the world? Vasher the unicorn hunter is after his one last kill. Once he’s slain the magical beast, he intends to retire and enjoy his wealth. He is willing to risk everything, but the cost he must pay may be greater than he ever imagined.
Like the Guns ‘n’ Roses song, only books. This week, March 3 through March 9, Smashwords is running a big promo week, and that means big discounts. As it happens, I’m feeling generous. The Lost Words series is available for free, all four books. Go, go, go!
The second book in the Woes & Hose series is coming along nicely. There’s a cover! A glorious cover for The Glorious Adventures of Glamorous Prince Dietrich. As always, designed by legendary Anton Kokarev. I asked him for an appropriate sequel to the first book, plus an even more punchable face for our anti-hero protagonist. To wit, the results.
Ladies, gentlemen, swoon not. For what I’m about to tell you will make you … swoon.

Normally, I don’t do big annual summaries, but then, this year, I felt it actually might be a useful exercise. Sort of recap what I did, what I wrote, what got published and where. If you’re a numberophil, this little article ought to be interesting.

Dear readers and chance lurkers, you’ll probably be somewhat enthused to learn that The Lost Words series is now also available on Smashwords. Following a successful experimentation with I Shall Slay the Dragon!, I decided to port several more titles to this platform, starting with The Lost Words, a complete, four-book series published in 2012-2015. Best of all? The first book, The Betrayed is free! An early holiday season gift, if you will.
It’s been roughly six years since I published my first paperback – The Betrayed. Although I’ve published books before (technical stuff) in digital format, my official entry into the world of independent authoring, the way people perceive it, started in 2012.
In the past six years, I had a chance to release seven novels, with another five books, bearing my name out either as a primary author or a co-author, also seeing the light of the day in that same period. A nice dozen. That’s a sizable volume of publications, and I believe I can share some of the lessons and insights I’ve learned since.
