I'm happy to report that the Well of Sorrows series has gained new life. The first two books in the trilogy--Well of Sorrows and Leaves of Flame--were originally published by DAW Books under my pseudonym Benjamin Tate, but due to slow sales (for various reasons), DAW decided to drop the series after publishing the second novel. I'd already written the third book, however, so after regaining the rights to the entire series from DAW (who were extremely cooperative), my agent went out shopping the series to potential publishers. We got some interest from Baen, who wanted to publish the first two books in ebook format to see how they did in terms of sales. If they sell well enough, then they'll potentially publish the third (as yet unreleased) novel Breath of Heaven. So for all of you who'd like to see that third book reach print, send all of your friends out to buy the first two books in the series now! You can buy them as well, of course, but I assume that you already have copies from DAW, or you wouldn't be interested in the third book at all. Thank you for your support of these books early on, if you've already got the DAW copies. If you do have the books and have read them and enjoyed them PLEASE stop by Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, etc., and write a review of the books. The reviews really matter in terms of getting the books noticed by the retailers. (Even if you wrote a review before, you'll need to repost it, since these are being released under my real name, not the pseudonym.)

And if you DON'T already have copies of the books . . . well then check them out from Baen! Baen is offering them in ebook format only at the moment (again, good sales may equate into paper copies being published), and they have them in all formats. They even have a bundle of the two books available. I've included links of all of the books below for various places. Please check them out and share the links around on your social media pages. Let's see if we can't convince Baen that they REALLY, REALLY want Breath of Heaven to see print!





Well of Sorrows: Baen; Kindle; Nook.





Leaves of Flame: Baen; Kindle; Nook.

Bundle: Baen.

If you'd like copies of the first two books in paperback, I do have some of the DAW versions available (limited numbers) from my own personal stock. You can order them at the Zombies Need Brains online store here: https://squareup.com/market/zombies-need-brains-llc.

Yay ebook! And volume 3! I look forward to adding that latter to my vols 1 and 2.

I'm looking forward to book 3 seeing print as well, hopefully.

Congratulations on the re-release. I find the Baen covers more interesting, too. Fingers crossed for vol. 3. :-)

Yes, the covers are more interesting, aren't they? *grin*

Oh awesome, I'm glad the series gets another shot at life.

And I gotta say, yeah, I like these covers better than the ones DAW gave you. I may even re-buy the ebooks just to get those covers. :)

If you'd be interested I would be happy to run a Boosting the Signal piece for this series. Send me email if you'd like to discuss it!

I'd love for these to be a "Boosting the Signal" piece. I'll send out an email.

I'll see if I can do a little something now and then... am looking forward to #3!

Thanks, Dave. Every little bit will help! (And I know you've been plugging them recently over on Twitter, even without prompting.)

Hey, I've slightly modified (author name, etc) both reviews and have posted to the new versions on Amazon. I've also tweeted with the new Amazon link. Hope it helps.

Of course it helps. *grin* Thanks! I saw the tweets, but hadn't noticed the reviews yet.
