I took a quick look at your profile to see if there were clues as to which book might work for you, and...no idea. BEYOND REDEMPTION is probably one of my more popular books and if you're into dark and insane fantasy, that might be a good choice. Though if you speak German, it might not as I absolutely butcher the language for people and place names. This might be recency bias, but folks seem to be really enjoying my latest release, DOGGED. Still dark, but less bleak than some of my other stuff. And it has a big puppy!

Greetings!

Sadly, Amazon doesn't allow me to set up preorders for paperbacks or hardcovers. The book will become available in ebook (and on Kindle Unlimited) on April 13th. The paperback has already been released and is available through Amazon. I haven't yet released a hardcover version (as I did for the first three books). The hardcovers didn't sell particularly well and I didn't think there was much demand. When I've got a little "down time" I'll put together a hardcover release for TLotEM.

That said, the Insanity Editions (https://she-dreams-in-blood-insanity-...) of the trilogy I've been releasing through Kickstarter have done well and this book will definitely get that treatment.

Cheers!(less)

Dogged by Michael R. Fletcher
"Highly recommended. This is a great mash up of grimdark, a detective story, a unique character POV (the MC is a wardog), and a unique, dogesque character arc. Though it qualifies as grimdark in a lot of ways, what with the demons and violence and ove" Read more of this review »

Dogged by Michael R. Fletcher
"Wow. This book is dark and funny and sad and heartwarming. I don't know how the author managed to pack so many emotions in 300 pages.

This is told from the perspective of Dogged Determination, a wardog who is sent to investigate a mystery. Wardogs are" Read more of this review »

Michael R. Fletcher’s 'Ghosts of Tomorrow' is grimdark cyberpunk with its teeth ripped out and replaced by industrial drill bits that will be used in time as shives for whomever says it can't. It does not stroll politely into its themes. It grab" Read more of this review »

André shared a highlight from
Dogged by Michael R. Fletcher
Time is one of those weird things people obsessed about. They worried how they would spend it, bemoaned how they had spent it, put obscene effort into measuring it, and wasted it in an attempt to save it as if it could be spent later. Even if they could save it, I couldn’t understand what they’d later do with all that saved time that they couldn’t have done at the time.
