Hi Everyone, and Happy Easter!

I know I’m a few days late on this (Vacation will do that too you!) but here’s the link to my giveaway on the Steampunk Journal website. The giveaway is complete, but they have a month of steampunk-related giveaways and news, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you how wonderful they are to work with.

Special Thanks to Matt over there for all his help, and congrats to the winner, Muriel from Brazil (Something about Brazilians make them really love the novels!)

If you’re sad you didn’t win, mosey on over and purchase Brass Legionnaire or any of my other novels for yourself! Action, excitement, daring steampunky Roman goodness in the air, on land, and now with included sea battles! (Yay!).

Happy Brass Legionnaire Day!

As of this moment, folks, the first novel of the Steam Empire Chronicles, Brass Legionnaire, is published in all formats and available for purchase!

I’ve made a new page at the top of the blog that features all of the easiest ways to purchase my novel. You can also use the links in this post to purchase them as well.

What about signed copies, you say? Well, I’ve got TWO give-aways running. Each one has three signed paperback copies of the novel available for you to win! You can even enter both. (If you win both, I reserve the right to only send you one signed copy!)

So either comment on this post of mine from earlier,

Or check out my Goodreads Giveaway and sign up there as well!

You have just ONE day left to enter and win for both contests!

Here are the links below to each book.

Nook

Brass Legionnaire (Print edition and Kindle Edition)

Smashwords (all other formats)

If you aren’t sure about purchasing yet, download the first chapter for free here, or you can sample the first 20% of the book (For more Roman-Steampunky goodness) for free also at the Smashwords link above!

Thanks again for all of my readers and fans out there. The journey started because of me, but it really finished because of your encouragement and positive attitudes. I love you all, and I’ll continue to blog about my adventures in life and self publishing. And yes, there will be more Brass Legionnaire novels to come. Copper Centurion (Due out sometime next Spring) will be even longer and more chock full of airship flying roman legionnaires.

Thanks again! Be sure to subscribe to the blog, Like me on Facebook or follow me on twitter! I keep it pretty interesting, and don’t spam you with a million for sale ads. Hurray!

– Daniel
