Hey, folks.

The Conqueror's Shadow, my first completely original, non-shared world, 100% pure Ari novel, is now available for preorder at Amazon: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Conquerors-Shadow-Ari-Marmell/dp/0553807765/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243553284&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: The Conqueror's Shadow: Ari Marmell: Books[/ame]

I can't tell you how thrilling it is to have gotten here, and I appreciate everyone who's read my work thus far in helping me do it.

Well, I was going to post a quick summary, but just this morning my publisher asked me to wait until they send me an "official" blurb. Yay, marketing.

Seriously, though, it shouldn't be too long, likely next week. As soon as I have said blurb, I'll post it.

I will say that it's a fantasy novel with some, let's say, unusual protagonists.

Hey congrats man, that's awesome news!

{edit} I was too slow on the post, it seems -- my question was already answered.

Hey, no worries. Enthusiasm is good.

I was just excited to post as soon as the link went live. I actually hadn't realized they wanted me to wait on a blurb, so I was all set to answer if anyone asked.

Ah, well. Like I said, shouldn't be long.

Ari, You'll be sure to post a reminder a week or so before the book is released aye?

Is it a stand-alone book, or the first book in a series?

Oh, believe me, I'll be counting down the months (and weeks, and days, and minutes) like this was the doomsday clock. I'll be posting reminders, no worries.

Is it a stand-alone book, or the first book in a series?

It's potentially both. What I mean by that is, I'm talking to the publisher about sequel material, but the book was written so it could stand completely alone.

Man, two threads on the book and both have the same questions!



Glad to know it's fantasy! Can't wait to hear more.

Although I'll be disappointed if the novel lacks a vampiric rodent. I'll even settle for a carnivorous capybara.
