Free Jo Walton novels

carandol · 02-14-2008, 07:21 AM

I keep forgetting to mention, but there are a couple of free novels by Jo Walton (winner of the World Fantasy Award, among other things) on her website. They're released under a Creative Commons licence for non-profit distribution.

The Rebirth of Pan was her first, and unpublished novel, a rather strange fantasy.

And The Prize in the Game (originally published by Tor, but out of print) is a fantasy based on the Irish myths about Cuchullain, set in the same world as her novels The King's Peace and The King's Name.

They're both in HTML format, but I'm sure the nice people here will translate them into other things. I'd like to see them on Feedbooks, personally

This has been a public service announcement, and has nothing to do with the fact that the author is my ex

Sure carandol, I'll add both books on Feedbooks.

Keep in mind though, that any one can also upload them on Feedbooks, it's a pretty easy process. It takes 5-10mn, and once they're on Feedbooks, it's available with proper TOC/formatting/typesetting in different formats (and also in the guide for the Kindle + the mobile website).

Edit: Done...

The Rebirth of Pan: Normal - Mobile
The Prize in the Game: Normal - Mobile

Both books will be available in the kindle guide in the next 24H. I've added them to the Creative Commons Fantasy list too.

Great, thanks! I hadn't actually realised it was that easy (teach me to pay attention), or I would have done it myself

I'll get them formatted and posted here sometime today or tomorrow.

Yay! And downloaded through your excellent iNewsStand software. Don't know quite what you get out of such a great website, other than a warm glow of satisfaction, but keep up the good work!
