The Princess and the Pirate

It seems someone pirated my book and it's now free and wild in the interwebs. I trust you will forgive me if I don't provide a link.
I'm not mad. I'm flattered actually. All I ask is that if you enjoy it, legally or otherwise, please leave a little review on Amazon and consider buying it.
In any case, if something I wrote makes someone else happy, then I'm happy.
That is all.

Now that I’ve finished Fell Sword, it is with heartache that I’m going to admit that this series isn’t for me.

Great siege battles and incredibly detailed on how weaponry and armor works, but not gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about The Red Knight.

Quotes by Uri Kurlianchik  (?)

“The best that can be said about his investigative skills is that in most cases, or at least in many of them, he does eventually manage to get the body inside the bag."
"Except that one time the body screamed and ran away..." Amir reminisced.
"...and he chased it for three kilometers, screaming ‘Get back in here!’ " Jafar finished for him.”
Uri Kurlianchik, Tales from an Israeli Storyteller

“Can a Jewish vampire drink human blood? On the one hand, the Bible ordains that “ye shall eat neither fat nor blood” (Leviticus 3:17). But on the other hand, the Mishnah teaches that “no law stands in the way of saving lives” (Tosefra Shabat 9:12). However, vampires don’t have lives to save, since the Talmud states that “if one checks the nos¬trils and does not find any breath in them, he is undoubtedly dead” (Seder Moed, Yoma 85 aleph). That being said, a vampire can breathe voluntarily if it so chooses. This would suggest that it does count as a living person after all. That is just a tiny part of the many considerations that would go into a night rabbi’s psikat halacha, or religious ruling, on that particular issue.”
Uri Kurlianchik, Tales from an Israeli Storyteller

“The sight of the old mat reminded him that it was almost pray o’clock, and when you’re going to fight a servant of Satan, it’s best not to forget your prayers.”

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

[I saw hate in a graveyard -- Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005]”
Stephen Fry

“Must be a yearning deep in the human heart to stop the people from doing as they please. Rules, laws--always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: "Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop." Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them "for their own good"--not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
