A few more days and XENOLITH will reach its 1 year birthday (October 11). It's been downloaded 2,805 times, most of them for free.
Come October 12, though, I'm going to slip a modest price tag on it and the other books, so this will be the last weekend to get XENOLITH, its sequel PEREGRIN, and my other bastard child LETHE, for free. Here's a blurb, for those averse to clicking:
"Lassoed, knocked down, face planted in the dirt -- best thing to happen to Frank Bowen in years. When wife Liz went missing in the wilds of Belize, the constables of San Ignacio could find no trace. Years later, on a pilgrimage to her remote 'grave,' Frank is abducted and whisked away to a place he can't identify, by people whose motives and origins baffle him. Could this be what happened to Liz?"
REVIEW (Amazon) - ****
"Tight writing (especially at the start) and a particularly strong sense of place drew me into this story. Frank's strength of character, despite his heart problems, carried me through to the end. Multiple plotlines and points of view keep the interest high, moving the story forward at all times.
I only have one quibble and it's minor. Because I was most vested in Frank's storyline and finding out what happened to his wife, the ending was left a bit too much up in the air for me. I wanted to know more! With a sequel in the wings, I realise this was probably intentional. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable read."
