I'm gonna post the preview of my book that's on the Authorhouse website, so people don't have to go digging for it.
Part 1:
Siralus nodded slowly. “You can’t kill them before the spell is complete, and they can no longer stop it themselves. This world is done for. But you, Queen Tanoya, and you, Aldrain, you can still survive.”
“But how?” Aldrain whispered, not seeing any way for them to survive.
“You can combine what’s left of your magic force to send yourselves to a different world. There, you can start over again. I told you, it’s not your fate to die here and now. Hurry, you haven’t much time.”
Aldrain looked up. Siralus was right. The light was now engulfing the entire castle and was shooting straight up towards the sky, where it began to spread across and engulf the sky as well. The other magicians had seen it and were redoubling their efforts to destroy the castle, though it was obviously too late.
“I told you,” Tanoya said, “I don’t have full command of my powers yet. I cannot do it.”
“Yes, you can,” Siralus said fiercely. “You always could, from the moment you were born. You’ve just been afraid to try. Do it now or you will die.”
Tanoya hesitated for a second, then turned to Aldrain. “He’s right,” she said. “You and I must try to escape. Help me, Aldrain, please.”
“But – what about everyone else?” Aldrain asked, looking at the magicians all around them.
“You only have enough power to send yourselves,” Siralus said. “There’s no time to waste, Aldrain. Take control of your destiny now!”
Part 2:
The Jackal yanked his sword out of her stomach and she dropped to one knee, bright red blood dripping through her blue tunic. He raised the sword in an obvious gesture that he was going to finish the job, when Griff saw something bright flash in the Wildcat’s hand. Next minute, the Jackal was stumbling backwards with a dagger sticking out of his throat. The Wildcat pushed herself to her feet with the aid of one sword, then chopped off the Jackal’s head with the other sword. Members of the crowd nearby screamed as they were spattered with the Jackal’s blood and his head flew past them. The Wildcat dropped to her knees again, clutching her side.
Without even thinking, Griff vaulted over the balcony railing and dropped the ten feet to the ground below. He heard a faint thud and looked to his right to see that Jokam had jumped down also.
Just as Griff reached the Wildcat’s side, he heard alarmed shouts. He looked up to see people in black tunics jumping over the fence, heading straight for him.
There.

It's a good thing you bumped this or it would have been lost on me.
Queeny I would gladly buy your book if I could figure out how, but the Authorhouse.com site doesn't have an obvious means to do so. I clicked thru the links and perhaps it's plain to see but I'm just missing it. I can't seem to find the means to buy "Book of Legends," nor a search option for titles. I are confused.
I'll keep searching thru the site (hell I see there is a shopping cart link where you go to pay for things), but thru the mindless misunderstanding of how to properly market a "search and buy" strategy, Authorhouse.com refuses to sell me your book.
Don't worry. That's all the more reason to believe they are truly about supporting authors. They have no clue how to sell books, but love to support writers. It's just so friggin' annoying.
Tell me where to go and I'll buy it.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

I take that back... I saw that big BLARING link for "book store" at the top of the site. If it were a snake it would've bit me. I read voraciously but avoid book stores like the plague. The phrase was filtered out (survival instinct). Such a paradox.
Will be reading your book soon. ;)

Come on people, be nice. If I become a best-selling author, I'll donate lots to the Firefly cause!

Dayum! It’s almost twice as much from amazon.co.uk as AuthorHouse (£12.49=$21.50) and that’s not including shipping!
I hope you get more money from me paying more money! =)
Perhaps I’ll find something else to buy so I’m over the limit for free shipping, gotta save the pennies! =P

-Loved the preview and the concept sounds cool. I look forward to reading it in about 1 to 2 weeks =)

Thanks man! I really hope you like it! (Note: it's even worse on chapters.ca: $26! I don't know how they expect to sell any like that!) I hope it's good - I really can't tell myself.
