Welcome to KindleBoards, Toby, and congratulations on your book! 

Please note that KindleBoards is a Readers and Kindle Fan forum.  Authors are always welcome to post anywhere but, as you browse the 'boards, please keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed here in the Book Bazaar.

A brief recap of our rules follows: (Note that this doesn't mean you've done anything wrong; we just want you to have a ready reference, so post this note in every thread. )

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it and add to it when there is more information, as we ask that authors have only one thread per book.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then.

--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.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful 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!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.  For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

Word is out and Wizard Rising is selling well.  More that 55 copies sold in less than two weeks.  You can also borrow Wizard Rising if you're a Prime member with a Kindle device.  Exciting times.

The book trailer for Wizard Rising is here!  http://youtu.be/BPv4zmnKcJQ
This was my first book trailer to make.  I focused on keeping it simple and hopefully intriguing. Let me know what you think.

Looks like you are off to a flying start there.

Thanks Art.  The book is selling quite well and I'm looking forward to a productive year.  Thanks for the feedback.

[Marty Longson]

Congratz on the new book.  I like the cover art on books 3 and 4.  Good stuff.

[tneighbors]

Thanks Marty, I appreciate that.  My wife is a photographer/designer, so I have a lot of help.

Starting the next book in the Five Kingdoms series.  What do you think of the title "Magic Awakening"?

[tneighbors]

Wizard Rising is doing incredibly well!  Over 700 copies sold!

Wizard Rising has been consistently ranked at #15 this week in Amazon's Top 100 Epic Fantasy (Kindle) books, right beside J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings.  Seeing my book next to the Tolkien's is a dream come true.

Yay! Congrats! And I hope you get many more sales.

[Sean Patrick Fox]

Have added this to my TBR pile. Best of luck, Toby!

[tneighbors]

Thanks so much Cherlereich.  It's been an amazing journey.  I'm very hopeful about the future of this book and the other books I have planned in this series.

Thanks Sean, I really hope you love it.  It would be an honor to hear what you think of it.

2012 has been amazing so far.  Wizard Rising has sold over 2,000 books in the past thirty days.  I can't wait to see what February holds in store!

[tneighbors]

Almost done with my prep work for the second book in the Five Kingdoms series.  I can't wait to get started writing!

[tneighbors]

The second book in the Five Kingdoms series is going to be called Magic Awakening.  I'm hoping for a mid April publication date.  If you haven't read Wizard Rising now is the time.  Check out my website, www.tobyneighbors.com for more information coming very soon!

[tneighbors]

Another great month for Wizard Rising.  It's currently in the top 15 Epic Fantasy books on Amazon and #4 in the Magic & Wizards category.  Thanks for all the support Kindle Board members!  It is greatly appreciated.

[tneighbors]

Still getting a lot of great feedback from readers, such as this comment from Joshua Lee on my mailing list form:

I just finished Wizard Rising and I thought it was a great book. I'm going to start the Third Prince novels soon but I'm waiting on the next book to Wizard Rising.

There is simply nothing better for me as an author than when people love my stories as much as I do and look forward to more.

[tneighbors]

I'm thinking about writing a short history of the Five Kingdoms as sort of a companion to my current novel series.  I was wondering if anyone else has had luck with this.

[tneighbors]

Wizard Rising has been a breakout success.  It has sold over 6,000 copies this year.  The sequel is due out in April.  If you haven't had a chance to check this amazing story, now is the time to get in on the action.
