Skewed Throne: Chapter One

[jpskewedthrone]

I got permission from my editor to post the first six chapters of my first novel, The Skewed Throne, the first book in the Throne of Amenkor series, over the course of six weeks. The idea is to give readers a chance to read a significant portion of the book to decide whether or not they might like the book, and hopefully entice them into buying the book as well. So here's the first chapter. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download here) in order to read it, since it's a pdf file. I found that it wouldn't open in AOL, but it does open in Explorer. Not sure about some of the other browsers. (Let me know if this is working at all. This is the first attempt, so there are likely some bugs to be worked out.)

I'd appreciate it if you could post a link to this blog entry in your own blog or website or on Facebook, to help promote the postings of the chapters. Thanks!

These are the actual page proofs from the book, if you're interested.

As an FYI for Mac users, Mac-based browsers won't open the thing directly, but you can download straight to your desktop or other desired location. From there, the OS's Preview app will look at it just fine. :)

Also, yay for a book preview! I'll go tweet to spread the word. :)
