My debut adult epic fantasy, THE BLADEMASTER'S CALL, is here, and the Kindle Edition is only 99 cents, for a limited time! It's the first book in a series, The Chronicle of Jack Green, and I think you'll enjoy it.
A failed author is pulled into his own terrible fantasy novel—where the villain knows the plot better than he does. To survive, he must team up with his book's sword-wielding hero and rewrite both their fates. Fast-paced, funny, and full of heart, The Blademaster's Call is epic fantasy with a meta twist.
THE BLADEMASTER'S CALL
The Chronicle of Jack Green - Book 1
Never meet your heroes. Especially the ones you’ve written.
Before he can delete his dreadful novel, a down-on-his-luck writer finds himself inside the story, marked for death by its cunning villain.
When the awful first volume of Jack Green’s epic fantasy trilogy is snubbed by every literary agent on the planet, in a fit of rejection rage he decides to destroy his life’s work. That’s when Jack finds himself inside his book, accompanying its sword-wielding hero on a perilous mission that will determine the fate of his character’s world and his own.
From the award-winning author of Eon’s Door and The Book Knights comes an exciting adult epic fantasy series that is fast-moving, gripping, and laugh-out-loud funny. If The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and The Name of the Wind had a baby, they'd name it The Blademaster’s Call.
After you've read The Blademaster's Call, "OPT IN" below to read about the crazy coincidence I experienced writing it, and get Book 2 updates. WARNING: Book 1 SPOILERS.
The Wizard's Wager (The Chronicle of Jack Green - Book 2) is on the way.
