Well, there they are. I finally got my paper copies of The Baldur Game yesterday, so at last I can take a family portrait. My magnum opus, for all the world to see.
I hope there are people out there who’ve been burned by George R. R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss, who have vowed never to start reading an unfinished fantasy series again, who will now descend like seagulls on a bag of potato chips (but with better manners, I hope).
I got a fair start, in terms of sales. The book climbed as high as number 20 on the Amazon Christian Fantasy list (after Hunter Baker’s Basefook post). It’s sagged now, of course, inevitably. This is where I’m hoping that people are using the time reading, so they can post their rave reviews in multitudes after a few days.
I’m not a man to toot his own horn, as I think you know. But I went through the whole series last year, shaping each book up for paperback release, and I can’t deny I liked them very well. I believe that if somebody else had written them, I’d be promoting them with enthusiasm.
For all who’ve bought them, thank you. If you’d post an Amazon review, or at least a rating, I’d be grateful.
I’ve longed for this!
Hurray! Great news!
You have well-managed to give us ‘installments’ that are both satisfyingly self-contained novels and yet ones which keep us eager for – all – the rest of the story! For which admiration and thanks!
(Maybe it’s appropriate I’m only catching up on 18 March, the Day after St. Patrick’s, which is also the Feast of King Edward the Martyr – for, checking Dr. Farmer’s Oxford Dictionary of Saints I read “in 1008 the laws of Ethelred ordered the observance of his feast all over England”…)
Thank you, David.
I worked up a long lavish review for Year of the Warrior for the copy I’ve had for ten years and now Amazon has deleted that edition for your new cover release. All those high praises are erased and it’s difficult remembering all the greatness I thrust upon you. Will try
I appreciate it.
