Shawn's Book on Kindle
I have given in.
Finally.
Today the Amazon Kindle version of Song of the Fell Hammer went live. It is $2.99.
Song of the Fell Hammer was my first attempt at a novel and like many debut books it is wordy. The book is near 200,000 words. As a reference, the average novel length today is 90,000 words with fantasy novels usually being closer to 105,000 words. In other words, you'll be getting a lot of words for the price!
That might not be a good thing. Ha!
I decided to do this for one reason. Not for vanity or money or prestige. A lot of Terry's fans over the last three years have asked that I publish Fell Hammer for them to read. A lot of his fans when he is on tour ask about it. I think it is a good solid book, not great by any stretch of the imagination as it was my learning book. But those people have asked nicely and how can I say no to readers?
After all, I write for myself but I also write to be read.
I will say this. The first few chapters are fairly slow. But once through them I think the story takes off quite nicely.
If you have Adobe Reader, you can read for free the Prologue, Chapter One, Chapter Two and Chapter Three of Song of the Fell Hammer by clicking the links.
If you have a Kindle, click Song of the Fell Hammer to download it!
And yes, I am thinking about offering this as a .PDF download. Just have to figure out how to make that a possibility where no or limited theft will take place.
Have questions? Just ask.
