Release of the Silver Sword Saga Anthology

I'm pleased to announce that the moment I have been building up to is finally here: I have released the collection of Silver Sword Saga stories for sale! The anthology is available in paperback from the Createspace e-store and Amazon.com for $6.00 as well as on Kindle for $3.00. I really enjoyed writing these stories and hope you will enjoy reading them just as much, so please check out this book.

I would also like you to know that my wonderful friend, the artist Karolyn Walker, has provided beautiful new cover art for my short stories Swan Warrior and Legend of Nomenie which are available on Kindle for $0.99. You can view the new artwork by clicking on the names of the stories above. Swan Warrior is also included in the Silver Sword Saga anthology but since it was a reader favorite here I chose to make it available separately for those who want to download just that story. All 5 parts of Swan Warrior are included in the $0.99 download.

Even though I have not entered this year, I would like to point out that the annual Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award is in progress and is currently in its second round. The quarterfinal round starts March 20th and that's where the contest gets interesting for readers because Amazon posts the first couple chapters of all the novels still in the running as free downloads. If you have a chance I highly recommend sampling some of these awesome novels. Just don't forget that the authors appreciate getting reviews which help them assess what readers think of their books. Also, if you have an Amazon account you can vote for the 2 winners, one in young adult one in adult fiction, starting on May 22. The contest is a lot of fun and the reader interaction in the last few rounds makes it interesting to follow too.

Take care and happy reading!
