For your listening pleasure, the MP3 podcast audiobook of chapter three is now posted and available for downloading. As usual, you can listen directly in your browser, subscribe to the RSS, or subscribe to the iTunes podcast feed. Head over to the Novel page for all the links.
I've posted the PDF for chapter three, entitled A Knight in the Rain. Best chapter yet? You decide.
The audiobook will be up a little later today.
I've posted the audio and ebook of chapter two, entitled "Torture by Ale". If you're subscribed via iTunes or RSS you've probably got them already, but if not, just head to The Novel page and download them. As always, it's an MP3 and a PDF.
I'll be adding the book to the Amazon Kindle store and the Apple iBooks store, but I think I want to post those in larger chunks -- like "Part One", "Part Two", etc. (each composed of multiple chapters), for instance.
Tell your friends about the book, and if you like it, leave comments here or on the iTunes page. And thanks for reading!
Both formats of the first chapter of The Calligraphy of Demons are now available for download on the book page. You can also subscribe via iTunes here. A new chapter will be out every week, on Fridays, so subscribe there to get it automatically!
Please feel free to leave comments and reviews. More importantly, tell your friends and family about the book if you have any suspicion that they might like it.
The web site here is still pretty basic at the moment, but there are many more new things coming. It'll be spiffier: no scrimping on spiffitude.
Which novel? I've spent the last six months writing it. The roots of it go back much further, back to nearly unrecognizable characters and settings from the early 1990s, and many wistful thoughts and plots in the years since, but the true work has been done in this brave time, this fertile year of 2012.
It's a fantasy novel, in that it involves a world somewhat like our own, but not enough like to be called "real." It's fantasy because there's magic--of a sort--though not the kind of magic that shatters castle walls or turns pomegranates into pumpkins. But more than that, it's a book about vital people doing interesting things: people trying to make sense of the world, fight for a better world, and perhaps most importantly, make a place to call home in a troubled time. Even if the only home they can find is in the faces of their companions.
I'll be releasing it serially, a chapter a week, in every major format I can. There will be a weekly audiobook download as well. Expect chapter one next week, the beginning of August, 2012.
