PROPHECY OF THE HIGH QUEEN Orange Tag!
I am pleased to report that PROPHECY OF THE HIGH QUEEN got to the top of its category and got an orange bestseller tag on Amazon US. Thanks everyone!
I have to admit this is surprising for two reasons.
1.) I gave it away for free to my newsletter subscribers.
2.) PROPHECY OF THE HIGH QUEEN is frankly one of the weirder things I’ve written. It’s non-linear, and I don’t usually write non-linear stories, though CLOAK OF IRON had a much bigger flashback sequence than I usually write. (The key to flashbacks, I’ve found, is to make sure they reveal vital information that is unknown to the reader, and not to overuse them.) But with short stories you can sometimes try ideas that wouldn’t be able to support an entire novel on their own.
Anyway, while I did give away PROPHECY OF THE HIGH QUEEN for free to my newsletter subscribers, I certainly won’t object if people want to buy it. 🙂 You can get the story for $0.99 USD at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon DE, Amazon CA, Amazon AU, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play, and Smashwords.

In cloak of Iron you writter :
“Among the Elves, it is illegal to look into another’s mind without a proper writ.” This did not apply to Elves and humans, though.”
Is there not missing a nobel after the first elves and a commen after the seconde
Even though you gave it away, it’s so much easier just to click the Amazon link and buy it for $0.99. The extra effort to figure out how to download it from smashwords is not with saving a buck to me. I do appreciate that you try to give it away though.
BTW, I did really like this short story!
Bret’s right. I’m lazy and just clicking on 1 click purchasing is easier.
It’s the time vs money conundrum, I suppose. At various times in life one will have either more money, more time, but never both at once.
