I just released my first ebook on Amazon. I have been talking about it forever without actually doing it, but now it is done. No take backs. I’m very nervous.
I’ve put a lot of effort into making this ebook worth buying. I hired and worked with a professional editor, and I went through a rather long process where I tried to commission the perfect cover. Even discounting the countless hours spent writing and editing, getting all this done was very expensive, especially since I had no idea what I was doing. None of it would have been possible without my lovable patrons. I am super in debt to all of you. Thank you so much.
If you enjoy my writing then please purchase this book. It helps me out way more than just putting a few bucks in my pocket. The more people buy the book on Amazon the more it will be advertised there. That means it will be easier for new people to find, and thus I will get more sales. A big boost from you guys will really help to get the sales ball rolling. Every purchase helps, like a lot.
The other important thing to do is to review the book on Amazon. Every single good review helps promote my ebook there. Reviews by verified purchasers are especially important, so if you buy the book please take a minute to review it. I will be ever so grateful to you. It really means a lot.
The Goblin’s Tale chronicles the first book of the web serial. The story goes from the beginning of the serial to just before the characters set out for Daggerpoint. Some changes have been made to focus the plot and I have added some new scenes as well. Compared to the web serial the book is much more professional and streamlined. I think it is worth getting even if you have already read the web serial. It might just be time to reread the beginning of the story and remember all the things you missed. That sounds like fun to me. 😉
I chose the current price based on other novels. The Goblin’s Tale is actually much longer than a lot of other books. It’s over 120,000 words and its price reflects that.
You can also review the book on Goodreads. I plan on releasing a physical book eventually, but I’m very busy right now, so I don’t have a time frame. I’m super busy getting all the stuff for this book launch done, and to top it off I will be moving soon. Its a good thing I own next to nothing.
Buy the book. 😛

Congrats on getting the book published. Have you considered making it an audiobook yet? Amazon does that with https://www.acx.com/ , and it’s another button for people to press to buy the thing.

hey I’m in the middle of writing a review for you on amazon
and I was going into a spiel about how I’m reading this one for the quality and the story not because I could read it for free
but idk if you want everyone reading reviews to know they can read the serial version free
anyway let me know what you’d prefer and I’ll finish the review

Other people have mentioned the serial so it doesn’t matter too much. I prefer that they don’t mention it though, simply for simplicity’ sake.

Hi. Someone on wuxiaworld novels translation site recommended your webserial to me. I decided to take a leap of faith and bought your novel on Amazon. I have not started reading your webserial yet. I will start with the novel!
Cheers.
May 23, 2017
Thanks. I don’t think you will be disappointed, and starting with the novel might be the best route to go.

Scott,
Somehow your novel popped up on my recommended list,it sounds intriguing, I like the idea of an atypical protagonist.
A few quick questions
1- The book is listed as dark fantasy, as you know that can be anywhere from 1-100, so my question is are we talking Joe Abercrombie dark fantasy (50), Mark Lawrence (25) or 50+?
2- If a consolidation and refinement of previous content
– Should I read something previous or is this where to start
– How often do you intend to publish?
Thanks in advance
Bill

Hey Bill.
1. It’s not a super dark story. The finished plot didn’t get quite as dark as I had planned. There is a comedic part to it that means it never gets super depressing or anything, but it contains a lot of violence and the characters are not heroes.
2. You can start with the book. Book two should be along in 2-3 months. I’m not sure about after that.

Scott,
Thanks much.. going to purchase now.
I appreciate the quick response.
Regards

Hey mate, so I just found your book, read the whole thing in a day, and absolutely loved it. I will definitely read up on the web chapters to see if missed anything. I was wondering though, if got enough Patreon support, if there was any chance of the next book coming out faster than 2-3 months?
May 28, 2017
I always appreciate more Patreon support, but at this point I’m working as fast as I can. I actually do plan on trying to get the next book out within 1-2 months now, though. I don’t see it taking three months.
If you haven’t given me a review on Amazon that would really help me out.
