i found the writing style of clan of the cave bear very heavy going - i actually gave up and moved onto something i enjoyed more. this book is actually much more readable for me.

I have occasionally referred to my book jokingly as "Clan of the Cave Bear meets the Once and Future King." Actually it's about 2% Cave Bear, in that it's a story with a strong central female character. That is, in fact, the only thing it has in common with Cave Bear, but when Clan of the Cave Bear came out, there were hardly any books with strong central female characters, which was why it was such a hit with women. Finally! A story about us! Us as central characters! Not just helpmeets and handmaidens!
If anyone remembers The Once and Future King, this modern retelling of the King Arthur story spawned the whole Camelot thing of the 1960s. I thought it was about time we had a hero's journey story with a female hero. My website goes into some detail about the themes of the book. http://www.whenwomenwerewarriors.com/ |

I'm about 3/4 of the way through this, and enjoying it very much. Any estimate of when books 2 and 3 will be available as e-books?

Many thanks. I will read it soon, as I am in the middle of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Cheers. |

I'm up to chapter 11, and really enjoying it! Thanks (and *bump* to bring the thread back to currency).

Has anyone read book 2 or 3? Looking for reviews as I usually don't spend quite so much on anything but my very favorite authors, but I liked the first one quite a bit and so I'm tempted.
Catherine, if you read this. Are the Kindle versions DRM free or did you DRM them? |

You specify if you want DRM or not when you put them up, at least according to Amazon. (Without DRM they're just like standard non-DRM mobipocket files and can be read on something else if say you get a new device that's not a Kindle).

If you give them a MOBI with DRM, then the Kindle version will be DRM. Otherwise, it won't have DRM.

When Women Were Warriors now in mobi format
Hi again,
I just uploaded all 3 books of the trilogy, When Women Were Warriors, to mobipocket. They're available now from the mobipocket store, and should be available soon from other ebook stores that sell mobi books. There's a link to the mobipocket store versions here: http://www.shieldmaidenpress.com/buy.html And I still have Book I available as a free download: http://www.catherinemwilson.com/free-ebook.html Catherine M.

Unfortunately my books won't appear on Fictionwise. Their policy is to carry only books published by publishers with 25 or more titles, which means small publishers just starting out can't list their books there. Here's their policy information: http://www.fictionwise.com/publisherinfo.htm Catherine M. Wilson http://www.whenwomenwerewarriors.com/ http://www.catherine-m-wilson.com/ |
