I am currently recording a serial audio podcast of the Blood of Kings trilogy that anyone can listen to free online or subscribe to via email, podcasts, or iTunes. I post one chapter a week on Friday afternoons, just in time for the weekend.
I think this is a fun way to reach new readers (listeners) and to post content on my blog.
To subscribe, click on link on the sidebar, but the RSS feed only lists the ten most recent chapters, so if you want to start at the beginning, click on the book titles below to download old chapters.
The Kindle version of By Darkness Hid is free today and tomorrow (3/4/13 and 3/5/13).
Click here to visit the Amazon.com Kindle page for By Darkness Hid.
If you already have the paperback, please download the free ebook as well. The more downloads the book gets over the next two days, the more people will find out that the book exists. That would be so cool!
So, if you don’t mind, please go buy a FREE book to support me and the Blood of Kings series.
Thanks so much!


In this concluding chapter of To Darkness Fled, Achan leads his first war council and receives an answer from his future bride.
Please note, I must stop podcasting for now. I don’t have the time to keep up with the project. I’d like to come back to it someday. But since it takes me 3-5 hours per chapter, I’m not sure when that might be. Thanks for listening!


The knights confer to decide who shall become Achan’s bride while Sparrow watches from within the castle walls.

Achan and his men arrive in Carmine. Achan meets Duchess Amal and confronts Sir Eagan as to Sparrow’s whereabouts.

I’m terribly sorry to have to delay the podcast. I really wanted to keep going without skipping any weeks, but I just got my new deadlines for edits on two novels that are due in the next three weeks! So I have to drop everything–absolutely everything–if I’m going to get this stuff done and do a good job.
I’ve already recorded chapters 40, 41, and 42, I just don’t have the time to edit them together and post the MP3s. Please have patience. And I’ll get back to them in the second half of September.
Thanks!

When Achan learns that Vrell has left, he confronts Sir Gavin, then Arman.

After finding themselves back in Mitspah, Achan and Vrell have a heart to heart.

Achan fights Esek, then meets an opponent even more fierce.

When Achan discovers that Vrell is being held captive in Esek’s camp, he tells the knights he is going to get her back, whether they like it or not.

The other traitor is discovered when he kidnaps Vrell.
