The first three instalments of my new series, The Swordsman's Quick Guide, are now live!

Just take a look at these covers, by Eleonora Rebecchi (the photo on part 2 is by Nathan Robinson):

I am experimenting with using Smashwords to distribute my ebooks; their formatting requirements are arcane in the extreme (they require vintage formatting, like doc files, forsooth!), so I haven't got my longer books up there (yet), but they have excellent distribution; they upload to everywhere you can think of except Amazon. So you should find these titles on Kobo, iBooks, and so on in due course. The Kindle files are uploaded; one major benefit of Smashwords is, once all the hoops are jumped through, your book goes live in seconds. Amazon usually takes about 8-12 hours, in my experience. So they should be live there tomorrow.

In the meantime, you can get them direct from Smashwords. You can also get them from my Gumroad bookshop here.

These bijou booklettes are each about 6,000 words, and each word has been carefully examined by a host of kind volunteer readers (whose free copy of their instalment will be delivered soon!). So let me here thank each and every one of you that has helped make these better.
