Goodreads Choice Awards Nomination
It is an absolute thrill and an inspiration to have been nominated for the 2012 Goodreads Choice Award ("Best Fantasy"). Thank you for taking a moment to vote for THE FIRST CONFESSOR.

As an independent, author published, ebook exclusive, we had no idea if anyone would even hear about this book upon release. To say the days leading up to its release were intense would be an understatement.
What we've learned most from this process is that THE FIRST CONFESSOR can only succeed with the direct support, reviews, and recommendations of readers like you. We don't have a major advertising campaign or a massive publisher stuffing popouts and floor displays into stores everywhere. You can't find this book on a shelf at the airport or lingering around grocery store checkout lanes. In fact, our only tool for promoting this book is... you.
It's a little daunting when you step back and realize just how out-of-the-box all of this is, but the thrill of being so close to readers and hanging on the line (flourishing or dying with the work alone) kicks in and then it's one solid shot of adrenaline wrapped in inspiration.
If you want to know more about why I released this book the way I did, please read the Manifesto posted below. It's also printed on the inside of the ebook.
