Conclusion

From the perspective of The Five Elements, I want people to post links to it, email it around, host it on your site, etc. The more the merrier. A Creative Commons license of this nature is really meant to protect an artist's work while not restricting its consumption. There are other, more restrictive options, of course, but I'm making this eBook available for free, so why would I care if readers pass it around, too?


Join my reader's group and get The Hall of Riddles (An Alchemancer Prequel) and The Assassin's Dilemma (An Assassin Without a Name Prequel) as a welcome gift.
