Hey, you.

psst. Yeah, you.

You like fantasy?

You like politics?

If it existed, would you watch the Westerosi version of The West Wing?

You’re in luck, because that’s what I’m giving away. A long story about a civil war and a government in crisis and the people fighting to keep their nation from falling apart.

The first book is free. It’s right here. I’m happy to share. Follow me on Twitter @CZEdwards for updates. Read my Author’s Notes for details.

UPDATE: 24 AUG 2018: Smashwords download. Always free.

UPDATE 20 SEPT 2018: I didn’t set up an account with the Kobo store. I *think* that’s something Smashwords does, and it appears to be a problem because it appears that Kobo reformats the very well edited .epub and inserts pagebreaks and shit. This is a problem. (If it’s not something Smashwords does, then Kobo is stealing because I’m not getting paid by them.)

At this point, I’m still trying to get through to Kobo support 12 hours after being notified there’s a problem. I’m clearly not happy with this. I will be pulling whatever corrupted file they are distributing in my name. You should definitely demand your money back.

If you want .epub versions, get them from me, or from Smashwords. Those are the ones I know are fine. I am still working on Apple iBooks, which turned out to be massively more involved than anyone else. My email is on my About page above, or here.

Rien’s world exists because of a vague idea I once had. When Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE, it only destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. But Mt Vesuvius has the potential to be a much worse eruption, then and now. It’s 150 miles/242km from Pompeii to Rome. Ash fell from Mount St Helens over 7 states. What if, instead of destroying two cities, Vesuvius destroyed Rome as an empire? What if Vesuvius went worst case scenario – a Mt Tambora or a Yellowstone caldera? When Yellowstone goes, there’s a good chance that Salt Lake City, Boise and Spokane will cease to exist, and Seattle, Denver and Portland may not be far behind. It’s 500 miles/800km from Denver to Yellowstone. Continue reading “Rien’s Rebellion – Foundation Specs” →

Usually when people write connections like that, we’re talking conspiracy theories. But nope, this is just corporate evil & exploitation in the name of profit.
