The single most helpful thing that an appreciative reader can do for an author is to write a review of their book.
Reviews are incredibly important to help indie authors become known and recognized for our work. Without them, we are essentially invisible to the community of readers who might otherwise find and enjoy our books. They are also one of the best ways for us to get the feedback we need to grow and improve as writers. Just a line or two of honest feedback (or even just a rating) can make a huge difference, so I hope you’ll be willing to help.
The Goodreads and various e-store pages for a book are the best places to leave a review. Here’s how to find mine, including the handy BookFunnel and UBL pages that collect all the store links in one place.

From Sanctum of the Archmage: Dawn of Chaos, by Tony Andarian.
Gerard’s eyes lit up. “Of course!” he cried. “You said that Grandfather was a master of its power, and that he didn’t even need it to become Archmage. Imagine what he could do with it now! Would he not be like a demigod, were he to wield the full force of its might?”
“I have always thought so,” the King mused. “And though he never said as much, I believe that is why he eschewed using it, and bequeathed it to me as soon as he could.”
Gerard frowned. “I don’t understand,” he said.
“Your grandfather is the greatest wizard in all of Kalara, Gerard,” Danor explained. “And heir to its greatest throne. But he has always disliked the very idea of wielding power over others. That is why he was always such a reluctant king. It’s why he refused the crown until he had no choice — when his brother, King Victor, was killed, and he was the last of our line.”
“What does that have to do with the ring?” Gerard asked.
“It has an effect on the wearer. More so over time, and the more it is used. It … encourages the temperament to wield its power to rule. That, at least in part, is what it was made for. It takes wisdom and strength of will to keep that influence in check.”
“I see,” Gerard said. “Has it affected you, too, then, Father?”
“To an extent,” the King replied slowly. “But I spent many years under your grandfather’s tutelage, studying how to rule justly and wisely. And the unique bond I have with your mother has also helped to keep me grounded.”
He glanced at Elena, and she smiled at him.
“So that’s why he abdicated in your favor when you were old enough to take the throne,” Gerard said.
“And why he gave the ring to me when he did,” Danor added. “I can’t think of anyone with less of a taste for the role of ‘demigod’ than your grandfather.”

I’m extremely proud to announce the re-release of my first novel, 𝘿𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨! It is now available on Amazon Kindle and from the Andarian Publishing bookstore, for a relaunch sale price of only $2.99 through January 8th. Pre-orders are also up wide on a variety of other online and international sites for release tomorrow, Friday, December 30th.
𝘋𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 is the first of ten planned volumes in the 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙜𝙖. Originally published on Kindle in 2017 and re-released this year as a serial of novella-length “episodes,” this new third edition is the result of several years of re-writing and honing my craft as an author. It will also be released in January in a 6″x9″ “groundwood” paperback edition through Ingram Spark. The fantastic new covers for both are by Alex Perkins of Perky Visuals.
