You guys are going to think I'm getting kickbacks from Tor for sponsoring these giveaways. Trust me, I'm not, though should they so desire to slip me a free copy of any of their latest ARC's I won't turn them down. :-)

This week's free giveaway is Spirit Gate by Kate Elliott. All you have to do is sign up for their newsletter.

Go get it.

Download a free copy of Star Wars: Betrayal

Del Rey is offering Betrayal, book one of the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force series as a free download for a limited time in order to help launch the final book in the series, "Invincible".

I've never read any of the Star Wars books--I think I've had a mental block against it. Either that, or I just didn't want to give Lucas any more of my money. When I met my wife, we both had VHS copies of the original movies (Episodes 4-6). Then we got a VHS copy of the re-done Episodes 4-6. Then it was the DVD's of the re-done Episodes 4-6. Last, DVD's of Episodes 1-3. After having bought a VHS copy of Episode 1. Oh, and we both saw the original series in the movie theater way back when as kids. I refused to pay to see the re-done Episodes 4-6 (which is why I first bought it on VHS).

Anyway, neither you nor I need to spend any money on Betrayal--go download it for nothing.

The next Tor Free E-book

tor-books-logo The Tor Free E-book giveaway continues. This week's free e-book is "Through Wolf's Eyes" by Jane Lindskold.

I know nothing about Ms. Lindskold or her writing, but I'm always looking for writers I have yet to experience and so I'm looking forward to reading her work.

I'm really getting kind of overwhelmed with all of these giveaways, though. I've already got a small shelf full of books on my reading waiting list; Tor heaping on new ones is fast becoming too much!

The Scriptorium: A fiction section re-launch

4/1/2008 7:09:00 PM

Scriptorium (noun): the room set apart for writing or copying manuscripts; a room devoted to writing.

Every writer needs a showcase. A place to offer free samples, chapters, and maybe even a full-length novel. I've had one since the beginning. It's where I first made available my fantasy novel, The Hall of the Wood, just over a year ago as I write this.

Every once in a while that showcase needs some updating. So, while this has already been picked up here and here and maybe some other places I don't know about (yeah, who am I kidding?), let this serve as the official unveiling of my all new fiction page, the Scriptorium.

There's hints there of the world I set my fiction in: Uhl, of which the site is still a work in progress. I'll have more information about that when I've made some more progress. In the meanwhile, check it out and let me know what you think. I hope to build on the content--probably some (free) fiction of the shorter variety, but that depends on the progress I make on my current novel, The Five Elements.
