Rerelease party!

His Own Good Sword is being officially rereleased tomorrow, May 7, and just for tidiness’ sake I thought I’d compile a helpful list of all the celebratory goings-on so nobody misses out. There are a ton of sweet promotions (including free ebooks!)—be sure to take advantage of all of them!ColumnFirst, enter the Goodreads giveaway for a chance to win a signed paperback copy. Today’s the last day to enter, so head on over. Also, don’t forget to add the book to your shelves if you haven’t already!

Second, get a free Kindle copy of His Own Good Sword from the 7th through the 11th! Yes, you read that correctly—the book will be free in Kindle format for the first five days of its release, His Own Good Swordso you are literally without excuse if you don’t have the book on your Kindle by midnight on the 11th.

Not to denigrate those Illustrious Readers who prefer physical books to electronic ones! If you purchase the $7.99 paperback edition of His Own Good Sword from either Createspace or Amazon between the 7th and 11th, forward a copy of your confirmation email to amandamccrina AT gmail DOT com and I’ll make arrangements with you for a free piece of signed artwork by yours truly featuring any character/object/whatever-you-choose* from the book. (For an example of my art style, take a look at this. Disclaimer: Batman is not a character in His Own Good Sword. Though that would have been awesome.)

[Edit] I’ll be doing an interview on Hazel West’s blog tomorrow, talking about the changes I’ve made to the book for this release and also about which movies I’ll be going to see this summer. There’ll be a brief excerpt from the book, too, so if you’d like to get the flavor of the story before downloading, be sure to check it out.

Finally, I’m proud to say that His Own Good Sword is This Week’s Read over at Indie Books R Us. Be on the lookout for the forthcoming review and interview!

*Within, you know, reasonable limits. And I’m the determiner of “reasonable limits.”

An announcement

Hello everybody! First, an apology for (once again) neglecting this place. Second, I wanted to give you guys a quick update about some Important Things pertaining to His Own Good Sword. I’d intended to wait a bit later before making this announcement, but things have progressed a little more quickly than I expected, so I’m making it now, just to forestall any questions.

I’ve decided to terminate my contract with the previous publisher of His Own Good Sword. What this means, first and foremost, is that the book will soon be unavailable for purchase, if it isn’t already His Own Good Sword(I believe the listing has already been removed from the Barnes & Noble site, and the Kindle edition is no longer available from Amazon). I apologize for any trauma this may have caused, but don’t despair just yet: I am releasing a new, self-published edition on May 7th. The new version has been reedited to fix some issues present in the first edition; it is, I think, a much stronger book. It has a shiny new cover, as you can see. What’s more, it includes—in response to popular demand—a Map (woo!) and a Character Guide (woo!). And right now you can enter to win a softcover copy of the new edition from Goodreads.

Also worth mentioning: His Own Good Sword has received two lovely new reviews in the past week, so check those out if you haven’t already! Angela Goff (@angela_goff) reviewed it on her blog Anonymous Legacy, and Daniel Swensen (@surlymuse) reviewed it on Goodreads.
