Well, Lord and Lady, Jeezum Crow, and King Hell!
Looks like the two Heartland books are on sale today as Kindle Daily Deals!
Both Under the Empyrean Sky and Blightborn are $1.99 today.
(And, for added fun, the Gwennie short, “The Wind Has Teeth Tonight,” is $0.99.)
Just click the links to check ’em out.
(You can also add Whispersync audio for cheap, too.)
I’m proud of these books, and I like to think that they’re a lot of fun (bloodthirsty corn, secret hobos, robot farm equipment, humans turning into plants, sky ships, corn-boats, pirates, arranged marriages for teenagers, talking birds, flying horses, love rhombuses) while also carrying forward important ideas and asking some big questions. I sincerely hope you’ll give ’em a go if you haven’t — and, if you’d be willing to spread the word, well, I’d appreciate that, too. (I’d be more than a little geeked to see this go rocketing up the charts today.)

I just bought them and hope this inches you up the charts a little more. Thanks for all of your invaluable and humorous advice

I have a TBR pile taller than my house, and I’m currently working through the Miriam Black trilogy (great stuff), but you more than deserve the support for giving me great blog posts to read every day. Purchased!

You had me at “bloodthirsty corn” but I stayed for the “love rhombuses.”

I love your fiction I will tell people about these but being published by an arm of Amazon I can’t get behind personally given the actions that the corporation has taken in the past. ….

One must make decisions as they see fit, so no worries, and thanks for spreading the word.

I liked the ending of Blightborn better than UTES, but I enjoyed reading UTES better. I know it won’t carry as much weight on your site, Chuck, but I highly recommend reading both stories.
As an aside, are you planning on doing an omnibus edition after number three comes out?

terribleminds says:
No omnibus planned, as I understand it — keep in mind, I’m not actually the publisher of the books, so I don’t really control that. But they’re big enough where I dunno that an omnibus is warranted?
Regardless, thanks for the kind words!
