Velocity of sales in the first week of a book’s release are important, and pre-orders are a big help in ramping up that velocity.  So I’d obviously love it if you pre-ordered The Hammer and the Blade, my forthcoming sword and sorcery novel from Angry Robot Books.

To encourage pre-orders (and as a way of saying “thanks”), I’d like to give a free digital copy of Ephemera, my dark short story collection (in Kindle, ePub, or pdf format; your choice), to everyone who pre-orders The Hammer and the Blade.

Accordingly, if you pre-order The Hammer and the Blade and also want a digital copy of Ephemera, just email me (at paulsvantekemp at yahoo dot com) evidence of the pre-order and I’ll send you a coupon code for a free copy of Ephemera.  Easy peasy.  I hope you’ll take advantage of the offer.  🙂
