Launch Day - Top Man and The Hammer Of The Gods
Happy June!
I am launching *two* books today, Top Man: The Epic Wager (A Prequel to The Druid Trilogy) and The Hammer Of The Gods: So You Want To Be A Star (Book One of The Druid Trilogy). I don't know how to describe it besides calling it a bawdy tale or an epic blue comedy fantasy. Think something like Christopher Moore's Pocket series meets Neil Gaiman. It's full of Celtic and Norse mythology, as well as Arthurian legend. Right now, I am giving the prequel away for free. You can get your free copy of Top Man here and your copy of The Hammer Of The Gods here (this is an SPFBO entry and it is available on Kindle Unlimited). Here are the covers (art by Shaela Kinting and design by Cynthia Dunphy):
Also, if you want to watch me perform a song I wrote for the first time, called And Here's Johnny (The Ballad of the Bawdy Bard), you can see it below. Thematically, I would say it's appropriate, as the books feature two protagonists who dream of becoming musicians, Rosmerta O'Ceallaigh, daughter of druids to a fertility god who want her to follow in the family footsteps (she wants to become a bard in Camelot), and Gudleik Sigbjornsson, Loki-cursed screw-up who sees skaldhood as his exit from the short and violent life planned for him by his warrior family. Be warned - she's a dirty ditty (NSFW), though meant to make you laugh and not without a message. Kind of like the books. If I tease out a titter, I'd say my work is done.
Have a wonderful week!
