My first book is free this weekend.

For clarification: I read your free chapter of Tarah Woodblade and enjoyed it a lot. Should I start with that or is it better to backtrack? It seemed like a good stand alone start to me...

I recommend going with book one of the first series because it sets up the second series. There are many characters that show up in Tarah Woodblade that you get to know well in the first series. I'm glad you liked that chapter, though. Thanks for the compliment.

I have heard from a few people that read it first before going back to read from the beginning.

By the way, the free promotion ends Tuesday so you can still get your free copy.

Too lazy to wait until the audio book. I got the ebook and will start it tonight. I read the first few paragraphs and remembered why I'm not a fan of reading (as opposed to listening) fantasy like this... I can't ever pronounce/read the character names!

The key is not to worry about whether or not you are pronouncing it right. You just let it come out the way you think it sounds and then that becomes the character's name to you. I know which character name tripped you up too. Believe me, most of the names in the book are much easier than his.

the one with the wad in it? Or at least the one he wants to think had wad in it?

Actually the names aren't that difficult - and I'm someone who's also often tripped up by names, particularly in the fantasy genre

LOL at "wad". It doesn't have wad in it, but I have heard people, including my brother pronounce it that way. It is Ewzad, which has the vowel sounds of you sad.

The point I was making earlier though is that it doesn't matter how I think it should be pronounced. Whatever you come up with is correct for you and becomes the character for you when you read. This is one of the things I was nervous about when releasing an audiobook. When the narrator reads the character names different than a reader is used to, will it bother them? I feel that way sometimes when I watch a movie for a book I read. It was that way for a few names in Game of Thrones for me.
 
I read Eye of the Moonrat.

I liked the book, it was enjoyable.
I'll recommend it to the people I know that enjoy fantasy books.

Thanks for giving lazy cheapskates like me a chance to begin the series.
I'll look up the rest of the series as I have time, and pass the word along on the series.

this is why it is Ez-wad to me, even though I know it's not.
