2020 Plans & Book Sales Announcements

Happy New Year to all the Archer’s Aim readers. It’s been a long hiatus from posting here on the blog. 2019 was not a great year for keeping up with things due to health problems and other issues. I’m trying to start off the year with some semi-regular posts about my writing in general and fantasy otherwise. The plan this year is to also get a feed from my Paper.li web newspaper into the blog if possible – it may take some doing to get there on my free WordPress plan so an upgrade may be in order to get there with content.

So much for the blogging plans for the year and onto other news. The Bow of Hart Saga bundle went to bestseller in late November on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and iBooks. That was good news so I’m following up with a few promotions for individual books and working on releasing print for An Arrow Against the Wind and The White Arrow.

An Arrow Against the Wind goes on extended sale today at 99 cents on Amazon only with The White Arrow following at a later date to be announced. If you have read The Bow of Destiny but not the rest of the series, now is a good time to jump back into it with the next book on sale to begin January. For all my followers on Goodreads, take a look at this book if you haven’t gotten a chance and give it a read. Just a hint, the series ratings get better with each book so you want to keep reading.

I’ll work on the details for print and announce those releases as soon as I have more information. Thanks for reading today and please share this post with a reblog or on your social media. Thanks for you help and I hope everyone has a wonderful year. Look for more news about The Bow of Hart Saga and new books that I have in the works in the near future.

Surprise! Print for The Bow of Destiny

I’ve been hinting about it for a long time but I finally got serious and put together a print edition of The Bow of Destiny. It’s another big change for the series and I’m excited to make print available. I just had too many people telling me that they preferred print. That feedback had me interested in the format so I started the work a while back and had the print cover created.

The last year was a challenge with some ailments so I’ve been slow to get it completed along with a lot of other writing projects. My energy has gotten back to a good level so I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the print edition and now it’s available on Amazon with the other two formats ebook and audio. It’s even available in print on Barnes and Noble.

I didn’t think I’d be so thrilled but there truly is something about having your book in your hands and seeing the words in print. It was a similar feeling hearing the book read by a narrator when the audio version arrived.

So what’s next? Well, for starters, please share this book as much as possible – it’s really appreciated when someone does that. Next, a print cover will be ordered for An Arrow Against the Wind and that book will be formatted for print. I’ll try to do that as soon as possible, followed closely by The White Arrow.

While all that is moving along, I’ve got other a few other fantasy series in the works that I’ll share about another time. Both of the first books in those are being edited so I hope at least one makes it into release by the end of the year.

For now, I’m just going to sit back and enjoy my first book’s arrival in print! Here are the details if you are interested in the print version:

Characters From The Bow of Destiny: Athson

This is the first of several posts revealing more about characters from The Bow of Destiny.

Athson is the main character of The Bow of Hart and a rather complex one at that. He suffers from fits over the violent memories surrounding the sack of his home Depenburgh that left him an orphan. These events were precipitated by an attack of trolls who are commanded by Corgren, a wizard in service to Magdronu, a dragon seeking for prime control of the world of Denaria.

After elves discovered Athson wandering in the Auguron Forest they took him in only to realize later that he suffered the aforementioned fits as well as hallucinations about a Mountain Hound he called Spark. But over the years, these affects have been muted with the help of an elven medicine named Soul-ease.
But Athson also holds a few other secrets that he won’t reveal so easily and this leads him into trouble. As a grown man, he’s become a ranger among the elves and is sent with his mentor, Gweld, into the largely unpopulated western Auguron region. It’s here that events conspire to drag Athson unwillingly into a quest.

Along the way, Athson gains several new friends and companions – some he likes and some he doesn’t. Often, Athson also struggles with what’s real and not since he losses – or forgets – his medicine several times. Other events leave Athson confused and grieving while he struggles to find the Bow of Hart. But along the way, Athson finds his secrets are hard to keep hidden. Additionally, he’ll find himself facing hidden information and danger from Corgren, Magdronu and trolls all of which will test his resolve and grasp on reality.
