The "Share" link is not working.
It should work now
I noticed it earlier -- some permission setting on the file was set incorrectly.

Nice one Merrak! Will it be available mail order?
I think it just showed up on BN.com and Amazon.com. They're listed on the
book's website under "where to find".
@2-ton: Thanks for your support
There is a first book, actually. I didn't do much to promote it, since I immediately started working on book 2. Book 1 came out in April 2013.
Book 1 is more of a prequel to the series (there's 4 books total), than the start of it. It's very short -- more of a novella than a novel. It's about the same length as
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Some of the artwork I posted when I first joined GC was related to it. I wasn't planning to make it a novel back then. That development came a year later.
It's downloadable for free from the anemberinthewind.com website (under "Extras"), although print copies can still be found on Amazon, BN.com, etc. Because of licensing rules, I can't offer it for free on Kindle -- but you should be able to download the .mobi or .epub file and load it that way.

I don't know how wide the circulation needs to be before I can get someone to translate it. My guess would be between 10,000 and 100,000. Of course, I could translate it myself. I just need to learn new languages.

It sounds amazing - good luck to you on the launching of your book. I know I'd love to read it just from reading your synopsis.
P.S.: Just downloaded from Amazon
Thank you
I'm happier with this synopsis than the one for book 1. Condensing an entire novel into a 4,000 character blurb is very difficult. My editor suggested the first line, which was pulled from one of the later chapters.
The cover is one of the better digital paintings I've done. It was featured on the MyPaint website for a while (although it was tweaked with GIMP). I haven't drawn anything in a while, so I hope I'm not rusty.
