Another sale for The Venom of Vipers!

I'd put The Venom of Vipers on sale for 99c at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Smashwords last week when it was featured on DailyCheapReads.com. After the sale, it went back to $2.99, but Kobobooks received the updated price from Smashwords and dropped the price for it to 99c. Yesterday, Amazon's price-matching bots found it and automatically matched the price.

So... for a limited time (how limited, I don't know), The Venom of Vipers is on sale at Amazon for 99 cents! If you like a little thriller with your sci-fi, check it out! Currently it's rated 4.8/5.0 with 11/12 5-star reviews.

"The Venom of Vipers is insightful, creative and just such an incredible piece of fiction, highly recommended."

Celebrating the tenth 5-star review

In celebration of Midwest Book Review's 5-star review of The Venom of Vipers on Amazon (bringing the total to 10/11 5-star reviews), I've marked it down to $2.99 until Sunday, Feb 20.

Midwest Book Review has been around for about 35 years and has established a reputation of writing quality book reviews. There are several different review departments. The one in which my book was reviewed was The MBR Bookwatch. Here's how they describe it:

Two new reviews make my day!

I found out about a week ago that my fantasy novel, The Kinshield Legacy, was chosen as the February read for the UK Kindle User's forum book club. Imagine how excited I was... and how scared! What if they all hate it? What if it's just "eh?" Eeep! Well, I figured I wouldn't find out until March when the book club members discuss the book they read during February. But then... I happened to go to my book's page on the Amazon UK site, and there I saw a new review posted by one of the book club members. You can read it here.

My favorite part: "I can't wait for the next installment." :)

Then, Google Alerts sent me an email to let me know that a book review of The Venom of Vipers was posted at sfbook.com. You can read it here.
