Congrats to Brien Shores!  You've won the 9th DHM Raffle!  Good on you!

We have just about a week left in the Sword & Laser contest, and the chances of me jumping from 7th to 3rd in that time are pretty slim (I'd have to magically get like 60 orders today), especially with random shoulder pain. I'm going to take today to rest and hopefully I'll be able to pick the pace on my pleas tomorrow.  If you know anyone who might enjoy a cyberpunk novel, I'd love it if you emailed them and let them know about DHM. If you send them a referral link and they buy the book using that you'll get credits toward another book order on Inkshares.  Just a thought.

Thank you all for your show of support for this book. We have almost 100 copies preordered right now, and it floors me how much Isidore resonates with readers like that. 

I also haven't had anyone finish the ARG yet.  I'm thinking of a prize for that as well, but right now I want to focus on the contest. 

Hugs to you all. What are you reading this weekend?

My campaign is over!



IN PRODUCTION!

Now... I just need to make sure my book is the best book ever to book, don't I?

SO! Most of the manuscript is done, but there are some rather... wobbly parts. January and February are going to be hardcore #amwriting months, and I'm aiming to be done with my final, FINAL edits by February 29th. Leap Day!

Thank you so much, everyone who has helped me get through this campaign.

Thank you to the other half of my heart, Alex, without whom I'd be adrift.

Thank you to John Robin and Joe Terzieva, who have helped me keep my head on straight through all the craziness.

Thank you to Matt Kaye, Avalon Radys, Jeremy Thomas, and Thad Woodman at Inkshares, who have been so supportive and encouraging.

Thank you, my readers. You are taking a chance on me, and I'm not going to let you down.

1) I have now staked my claim at DaxHarrison.com! It's a simple landing page (which I will improve soon) with a description of the book and a link to the Inkshares page, but it should make telling people about the book that much simpler.

After all, DaxHarrison.com kinda rolls off the tongue a little easier than inkshares.com/projects/dax-harrison-2276. Don't you think? Tell your friends. :)

Calling all fantasy fans out there! With only 15 days remaining and 177 copies left to order, this book needs your help!

Exile, Magus by Thomas J. Arnold is a fantasy novel set in a land of empires and city-states still haunted by the ancient past. After breaking his people's greatest taboo by practicing magic, a young dwarf must abandon what is left of his family and flee into a world he has only heard of in stories.

OR... read more about it now: 

Pentaz has lived a relatively comfortable life in the reclusive island nation of Thierdenvolgenlund. His father had won wealth and questionable fame as an engineer, problem solver, and even a one-time dragon slayer. Still the family's peculiar nature ensures that most view them as oddities, but when Pentaz' study of magic the people turn fully against them.

Fleeing home after both a great tragedy and victory, Pentaz enters a world he has only heard of in stories and legends. Now, he must struggle to learn the ways of this strange, new world in order to survive. The dangers of his new life on the road are many though, and they cannot be overcome alone.

Along the way he finds new friends and allies, fellow students of magic, a money-grubbing caravan master, a dwarf of the mainlands whose culture is perhaps most alien to Pentaz, and even an eccentric king overly fascinated by gnomes and their workings. Most importantly he finds Buscidia, a half-dwarven warrior and vagabond, and in her he finds love and hope for a new family to replace the one he had lost. But can Pentaz overcome his own insecurities and pain in order to build the life with her which he desperately desires?

His home has not forgotten Pentaz or his crime however, and unbeknownst to the exile his brother Palkaz has made his way to the mainland as well. As his hunt for the young magus comes to a close, the two find their charged reunion interrupted. 

Thrust against a danger the two brothers never imagined, can they overcome their differences long enough to survive?

And take a look at what a couple of other authors had to say about Exile, Magus:

John Robin, author of Blood Dawn says "Exile, Magus brings out the grand voice of high fantasy. Thomas Arnold brings together echos of Gulliver's Travels, Terry Pratchet, and Tolkien with his witty, scholarly narrative voice, strange races with strange names, and sense of a rigorously-thought-out world. I excpect from what I read to enter something amusing, thoughtful, and intriguing all at once!"

Tabi Card, author of says "Exile, Magus is a unique fantasy tale, giving new maenaing to the world 'Epic'. As you follow the life of Pentaz, you will be treated to an intricate blend of myth and magic, sit on the edge of your seat through intense battles, and chuckle at the witty banter of the characters as they face a variety of threats. If you read fantasy, read this - I promise it will not disappoint!"
