I love this time of year. And there’s a new moon at that, which is cool. What better time to say THANK YOU to my readers, followers, writers and peeps by offering a present? Through October 26, you can get Outpost, Book One in The Fylking, on Amazon for free. First time ever. It’s fantasy, it’s epic, it’s dark. It features a backdrop of Norse mythology, some nasty villains, an army of draugr and other malevolent fae creatures, witches, wolves, ravens and heroes with interesting skills.

Yeah, and a cat named Pisskin. (You didn’t think you were getting away with an epic tale that doesn’t involve a cat, did you? Tsk.)

Outpost, Book One in The Fylking. In a war-torn realm occupied by a race of immortal warlords called the Fylking, trouble can reach cosmic proportions. Using the realm as a backwater outpost from which to fight an ancient war, the Fylking guard an interdimensional portal called the Gate. The Fylking’s enemies, who think nothing of annihilating a world to gain even a small advantage, are bent on destroying it.

After two centuries of peace, the realm is at war. A Gate warden with a tormented past discovers a warlock gathering an army that cannot die. A King’s ranger is snared in a trap that pits him against the Fylking’s enemies. And a knitter discovers an inborn power revered by the gods themselves. Caught in a maelstrom of murder, treachery, sorcery and war, they must rally to protect the Gate against a plot that will violate the balance of cosmos, destroy the Fylking and leave the world in ruins.

The god they serve is as fickle as a crow.
