First I'd like to say a big thank you to all of those who picked up the free copies of A Very Hairy Adventure. The free Smashwords promotion ends October 31 I'd love to have some feedback on those who did get copies of the short story - either as Amazon reviews or drop me a note on my Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tracey-Alley-The-World-of-Kaynos/127959000550782Cheers all, Trace |

I got this when it was free. It's a nice intro to your characters. The world felt a little different than the standard fantasy setting. I got more of an 18th century vibe than the usual high medieval.

Actually it's funny you should say that Robin, I've had a couple of other people say the same but it wasn't intentional.... must be because I use real ancient civilizations as a base for the Kingdoms of Kaynos  |

They don't seem to have gunpowder weapons, but other than that it just seemed more open culturally, there was a castle but there was a whole city outside of it, they went to a café of some sort, that kind of thing. I haven't read your longer books so maybe I don't have the complete feel for your kingdom. They are on my list to read when I have money to buy books.

Nope you've got a pretty good feel for the Kingdoms - most of them are like that and in the last book there's not gunpowder weapons but I borrowed from the Greeks fire weaponry so that'll probably confuse the fantasy side a little more. Hard to separate the scholar from the writer maybe |

Amazon has once again discounted A Very Hairy Adventure to zero - if you missed it before grab a copy now, who knows how long the madness will last? ? |

No longer free but still a good short read and a great introduction to the world of Kaynos. Thanks to all those who picked up copies and thanks in advance to any who decide to grab one now  |

I'm really pleased and amazed at how well this little short story is selling. I designed it as an intro to my style and the world of Kaynos I've created and it just keeps on selling really well so thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who've picked up a copy. Anyone who'd like to do a review would be great too **hint, hint, nudge, nudge**  |

I really can't believe how well this little short story is selling - I'm averaging way more sales on this than both the novels put together. Not getting any reviews though so does that mean everyone buying it hates it or just doesn't leave a review - now I'm paranoid  |

I really liked this little tale of yours. It has so much action, description, dialog, character background and even a lesson at the end! Hard to believe you could get it all in a short story!
Reviewed this and An Unholy encounter at Amazon.

A great many people now reading and writing would be better employed keeping rabbits. Edith Sitwell  Located just outside Little Rock, Arkansas Goal for 2012 = 100 books read, read so far = 60 Now reading = Maggie Get Your Gun - Kate Danley |

With the pre-eminent release of the final book in the trilogy Slade's Destiny this little short story is a great introduction piece to the world I've created and provides some background info on the characters from the Witchcraft Wars.
A bargain at only $0.99

Thought I'd better start re-promoting my work now that I'm getting a little better. Although I can't complain about sales or reviews - this short story is a particular favourite of mine and I wrote it for one of my young beta readers but it's a fun, action packed adventure that serves as a great intro to the world of Kaynos and some of its' major characters.
Still only $0.99

My little werewolf tale is still out there for only $0.99. Runs about 7k so it's a mediumish short story with a lot of background info included on characters from the Witchcraft Wars series.

Wow Robin thanks for such a great review  - I personally love this story, even though it's short, but I think it introduces Kaynos so well |

It never ceases to amaze me how well this little short story sells Join the crowd and read all about a young Slade's adventures when he crosses paths with a marauding werewolf. Cheers, Trace |

I still get pretty tired Robin but I'm getting stronger every day so I should soon be back to normal - it's a little slower now that I'm getting stronger and I've finished most of Slade's Destiny which is why I decided to do a Featured Author of the week on my website - it'll help fill in the hours |

Hi all, Just reminding you about my little short story, A Very Hairy Adventure. Runs about 7k and tells the tale of the teenage Slade and his friends when they decide to challenge a marauding werewolf. It's had some fantastic reviews but, like all writer junkies, I'm always looking for more |

Hi all,
Well The Witchcraft Wars series has drawn to a close but if you want to check out my style and become acquainted with the world of Kaynos before you take the plunge into the novels this is a great place to start. Only $0.99 and at nearly 7k, with a fantastic werewolf and a little moral tale as well, it's definitely worth the read.
Cheers,
Trace

Hi all,
Although I'm compiling my short stories into a single volume I plan to leave this story available as a solo for only $0.99. The rest, in addition to 4-5 new stories, will be a part of a compilation which will also be available in print. I do intend to include this story in the compilation so you'll have two ways to buy it.
Cheers,
Trace
