I have read quite a bit of your sample - I think it's very good, and I would really love to read your book, just not for that price (even with the Smashwords coupon)
Be patient, the first ful length installment of my Dragoneers Saga 'The Royal Dragoneers' is going live in Oct. I will lower the price on this one then but not until it gets closer to christmas. I can not compete with Ken follet all I can say is this: I do not have a team of editors, marketers, and distributers to help me sell 1,000 copies a month like he does, but I still got bills to pay. It I did i would sell for less.
