The Aurelian Archives Vol. 1 release and give-away!

Hey guys, I have some big, exciting news - at least, it’s big and exciting for me! As most of you probably don’t know, I’m a free lance photographer and writer, and in just a few days, my new independent novel is coming out in paperback.  Here’s a bit to acclimate you to the world and characters of PALATINE FIRST, a romping steampunk mystery:

Welcome to The Aurelian Academy…

…also known as The Owl. A well-to-do institution where the bright and dapper youths of the Epimetheus galaxy study to become airship architects, deep space cartographers, or intragalactic politicians. Unless they’re like Reece Sheppard, who can’t seem to find the time to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming an airship captain between solving kidnappings, cracking Parliament conspiracies, and trying to keep Nivy - the mysterious mute girl left to his care by his missing step-brother - alive.

And as if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy, with his brother MIA, Reece has been unwillingly promoted to Palatine First, heir to planet Honora’s dukeship. He’s hardly ready to put down his riding goggles and pick up the crown, but he might not have a choice unless he can find out who’s behind the assassination attempts on the reigning Grand Duke. His estranged father. 

PALATINE FIRST has already been released on e-book, but thanks to the overwhelming response of people without e-readers asking for it, I’ve taken the extra steps to make it available elsewhere. Independently publishing a novel has been a massive amount of work and man-hours, but I’m so, so proud with the result and can’t wait to put a physical copy in some of your guys’ hands.

That being said.

To celebrate and promote the book launch, we’re giving away some pretty sweet stuff. TWO signed proof copies of the paperback will be going out, as well as one e-book and TEN of these amazing vinyl decals for your computer, car, etc., provided by In Shining Armor Designs.

To be eligible for the give-away, follow The Aurelian Archives on Tumblr and like or reblog this post, or both, to enter your name twice. You can also like the facebook page and share it there for maximum name entering - heck, you can even tweet it. You can enter this thing A TON of times and simultaneously help me promote for a chance to win. The best part is, if you enjoy the book, the Tumblr is going to be a super interactive base filled with sketches, lexicon terms, polls, and more give aways. 

You have till 7/1 to enter in for a chance to win. Thank you for your interest and your help in getting The Aurelian Archives: Palatine First out there.
