Hi all, Just letting you know about the first of a new series of short stories titled A Very Hairy Adventure: A Kaynos History Tale. This and the other short stories to follow are all related to the Witchcraft Wars series of books set in the world of Kaynos A quick read giving an insight into the past histories of some of the characters used in the novel Erich's Plea but also a great stand alone short story. "In the tale Slade, Crown Prince to the throne of the northern Kingdom of Vestland, gathers some of his friends to try and confront a marauding werewolf threatening local villagers. Full of confidence Slade and his companions feel they can easily defeat the beast but when the battle begins will they really be prepared to overcome such a dangerous foe?"   Still only $0.99 Cheers, Tracey |

Hi again, Tracey, Congratulations on your book! As a reminder, we invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Be sure to read the fine print below. Don't forget to bookmark this thread so you can update it. Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, most of our authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows. This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles! Thanks for being part of KindleBoards! Feel free to PM us if you have any questions. Betsy & Ann Book Bazaar Moderators The fine print:
Please add to your existing book thread when you have news about your book rather than start a new one, it helps the members who are trying to follow you. You may have a separate thread for each of your books. We recommend you bookmark your post so that you can find it in the future.  You may respond to all posts, but if there have been no member posts, we ask that you wait a week before "bumping" the thread by posting back-to-back posts of your own. And we ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link. Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. From time to time our site rules may change; be sure to check Forum Decorum (http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html) for the current guidelines and rules.  |

Hi all,
A Very Hairy Adventure is still available for only $0.99 - soon going into the anthology Kaynos History Tales so get in quick if you're looking for a cheap, single story.
Cheers,
Tracey

A great short read and provides some background information on the characters in the Witchcraft Wars series.
Cheers,

Tracey, I'm in the process of preparing some short stories for release on Kindle but I'm wondering whether to release them one at a time for $0.99 or to bring them out in collections of 3 or 4. How long is your short (!)? Does it sell reasonably by itself? My plan is for a serialisation. All the stories are linked to my forthcoming novels and ultimately make a sort of novel themselves, but in the style of the old pulp serialisations.
I've got "Erich's Plae" and this story marked for when I finally get my Kindle!

Hi Derek, I only released the two shorts as a kind of introduction to my writing style and they both run about 7K. As I have quite a few other shorts floating around I will, eventually, compile them all but I'll still keep them at $0.99. Because my 'shorts' tend to be longish I'll probably release in batches of 4 or 5 but they do sell fairly well on their own and I'm hoping they'll sell equally well as a compilation. If you've got a couple ready to go try listing one or two on their own first and see how you go with that? Hope you enjoy Erich's Plea and the sequel's also finally been released [what an editing drag that one was  ] Cheers, Trace |

Thanks Tracey. I'll try releaseing the first story, "The Ant-Man of Malfen" as soon as the cover art's finished. Archer's been working on that for me. It gives me time for one final edit - plus I wanted to add a few more details. I'll set the price at $0.99 and see how it goes. Now Kindle's out in the UK I hope to have one before summer's out, then I can have a look at your stories.

A Very Hairy Adventure is a short story based in the world of Kaynos, the fantasy setting for the Witchcraft Wars and I actually wrote this story for a young friend of mine who acted as a beta reader for Erich's Plea. He loved the book so much and kept asking when the next one would be out that I thought I'd tide him over for a while with this little number.
Check it out - only $0.99
Cheers,
Trace

No Dave - although that could've been cool but I wrote the story for a young friend of mine who really enjoyed Erich's Plea and I let him name it - maybe not my smartest move but it made him happy |

Come Down Under man - we're going down the tubes too but if you stay in the sunny east coast, Queensland for choice, at least the weather's great |
