“Here’s a little mote of wisdom: Not everyone who claims to be an expert, is indeed an expert. Please note: I have never claimed to be an expert on anything except perhaps making the perfect omelet, and if you don’t like spicy, you’d probably argue with me on that one, too. In fact, anyone claiming to be an expert on anything, in my opinion, should immediately be viewed with suspicion, or be able to produce a PhD Diploma on the subject he or she is professing to be expert in.”

Glad you liked it, Debra... Kind of a one shot book, but I wanted something that ended differently than the basic fantasy novel. See you at DragonCon. We're in booth 11I in the dealer room.Debra wrote: "Chris,I just finished reading Deathmask and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it!

Chris,I just finished reading Deathmask and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it! I got a slow start reading it because of my daily obligations, but once I got hooked I plowed thru it. I was up till 3 a.m. this morning because I couldn't wait to finish it.
I'll see you at DragonCon this week. Looking forward to chatting with you and your lovely wife!

Hi John.If you liked Weapon of Flesh, you would also probably like A Soul for Tsing. You can get a free taste here: http://jaxbooks.com/novels/a-soul-for... First two chapters are posted, just look to the right hand of the screen for links.
There is a sequel to Weapon of Flesh coming out this summer. I'll announce it here on Goodreads, or, if you wish, you can subscribe to my updates on the same page linked above. Just look to the right again for "Subscribe".
All the best, John!

If you get the chance, I would love another Amazon review for Scimitar Moon! The more the better! Also, there are now three more novels in that series: Scimitar Sun, Scimitar's Heir and the culmination, Scimitar War, which has just come out. We are releasing the last of the series at GenCon this weekend in Indianapolis, IN.
Great to have another fan! Enjoy the stories!

Loved Scimitar Moon. If you ever need reviews for the other two books (or any of your other work)...you just let me know ;)

Thanks Alya!
I always love to hear from a new fan! If you're enjoying Scimitar Moon, you'll love the next three in the series. When you finish the first novel, drop by www.jaxbooks.com, to read the first few chapters of Scimitar Sun, the next in the series.
Have fun, and keep writing!
