I’m happy to report that\u00a0Hope and the Clever Man\u00a0<\/a><\/em>is now available from Amazon.<\/p>\n

It took a little longer than I had originally planned, largely because my development editor, Kathleen Dale<\/a>, suggested a rewrite that strengthened the story considerably and gave more weight to the characters’ actions.<\/p>\n

Here’s the blurb:<\/p>\n

An act of powerful magic in a moment of rage almost destroys Hope’s magical career before it starts, leaving her even more determined to prove her worth.<\/p>\n

Her chance comes when she’s assigned to work for the eccentric inventor known as the Clever Man. The magical technology they create together could change the course of a war and help an oppressed people plan their revolution, but wealthy and powerful interests will fight to put it down any way they can.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’ve read Realmgolds<\/em>, this book’s timeline includes the entire timeline of that first book. It’s the story of the people behind the scenes who made some of what happened in\u00a0Realmgolds<\/em> possible. You don’t have to read\u00a0Realmgolds\u00a0<\/em>first, but if you haven’t read it yet and you want to, I have it at half price<\/a> while I’m promoting\u00a0Hope<\/em>. That’s $6.98 for both books.<\/p>\n

I’m going to drop the Chris Howard<\/a> cover here yet again, because I love it so much. If you look at that cover and think “That looks like a book I’d want to read,” you’re very probably right, because Chris followed my art direction closely and gave me a cover that was exactly what I wanted and represents the book perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"Hope<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m very happy with how it’s come out, and looking forward to getting on with a less comprehensive but still significant rewrite on the sequel,\u00a0Hope and the Patient Man.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those links again (they’re Amazon affiliate links, so buying through them gives me more of the sale price even than normal):<\/p>\n
