HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It's Spirit Night in the realm of The Legend Riders. The old stories say that, on this night, the dead walk the earth.

Nothing new for Nimbus then...

As a special treat for all the people who have supported The Legend Riders, I have prepared an exclusive glimpse into what happens after The Sky Knight. To read it, just click on the "Fan Page" tab at the top of this page. You will need to enter a password, which is the first word of chapter 31 of The Sky Knight.

And please note: This is a short story intended for people who have read all three books in the series. There are plot spoilers.

Best wishes to you all, and Happy Halloween!

A Very Good Week

From 14 September to 16 September 2013, I ran a promotion giving away The Unicorn Rider for free. I'm not sure what happened, but the promotion went down really well in America.

In just one evening, I gave away over 2,000 free copies of the book. That resulted in The Unicorn Rider making it into the top 100 free Kindle books for that day. It was number 2 in the category of "Sword & Sorcery," and was even number 1 in the categories of "Mythology" and "Fairy Tales."

To say I was pleased is a bit of an understatement.

Interest in the second book also gave sales for the other two books in the series a bit of a bump. In just one day I sold more copies of The Wing Warrior than I had in the last six months.

If you would like to get involved in the adventure, you can download The Wing Warrior now for just 99p ($1.53). Follow the links below to find out more.

The Sky Knight - Official Promo Video

In between final edits for The Sky Knight, Book Three of The Legend Riders, I have been working on a short promotional trailer.

I don't really, have much more to say than that. I'll let the trailer do the talking for me...




I know, I know... I'm not exactly Spielberg.

Images for the movie were provided by James Lloyd, as was the piece of music, which is entitled Frontiers.

The Sky Knight - COMING SOON

The Sky Knight is the third instalment in the Legend Riders trilogy. It was originally planned for an early summer release in 2013, but I wanted to make sure it was perfect before I rolled it out. I am pleased to say that it looks like the book will be hitting the Kindle store by the end of July 2013. It's been a long wait for some people, but I hope it has been worth it...

That's right, from 17 May 2013 until 21 May 2013, you can get the Kindle edition of The Unicorn Rider absolutely free.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
 
Nimbus has taken his first steps to becoming a Wing Warrior; but his problems are only just beginning. Glass is losing control of the magical energies coursing through her body, and Nimbus must quest into the realms of the dead to find a unicorn, the only thing that can save his sister’s life.

But there are powerful enemies who want the unicorn for their own reasons: The necromancer, Crow; the all-seeing cyclops, Carnelian; and the immortal Vampyr. And while Nimbus walks the path between life and death, his best friend Tidal chooses to take a dark path of his own.

There is danger on all sides, and this time Nimbus won’t have his father, his friends, or his dragon to help him...

The Sky Knight - Coming Soon!

It has been over a month since I posted something here, so what have I been up to? Well, most of my time has been spent editing The Sky Knight, the final instalment in The Legend Riders trilogy.

Quite a few people have been contacting me to ask when The Sky Knight is coming out. To be honest, I think I probably could have released it already (I know I want to), but this is "The End," and I want everything to be perfect. There are still a few things I am not quite happy with, and that I want to tweak before I finally put the book out there for everybody to see. It shouldn't take too much longer, and I am hoping to get The Sky Knight on Kindle for the start of the summer. Paperback copies will be available a few months after.

I have also been working on the front cover for the book. The design is proving to be even trickier than the design for The Unicorn Rider was. However, I'm starting to get to a point where I am happy, and I will be doing a grand unveiling soon.

So, that's what I've been up to; and that's what I'm going back to do right now.

Until next time, may all your skies be filled with dragons.

(Oh, and if you haven't got a clue what I'm going on about, head over to Amazon now to pick up a copy of The Wing Warrior and The Unicorn Rider.)
