Exciting news!Β Pearseus: Vigil is finished! I now have to prepare the book cover and actually publish it, but in the meantime I wanted to offer a free Advance Reading Copy (ARC) to my blog friends. Anyone who’s interested in reading and (hopefully) reviewing it is welcome to a copy!
You may notice that this is now billed as Book 3, as discussed a month ago. Rise of the Prince is now Book 1, and Mad Water is Book 2. Schism has been rebranded as Book 0, or prequel to the series, and is no longer part of the bundle. I believe this makes more sense, but it means I have to redo all covers and republish the entire series. So, the official launch may have to wait for a few more days.
Anyway, just leave a comment below, and I’ll email you your free copy!
On a side note, it’sΒ my birthday (I’m turning 45), so if you’re looking for a great present, feel free to read andΒ review Runaway Smile! π
Penblwydd Hapus Nicholas. I hope you have a great day and proper celebrations. I also hope the debut of the new novel goes ahead without too many hiccups.
Hugs
Such a kind thing to say, thank you! π Just for that, here is the link, fresh from Amazon’s oven: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TT0LN30
Bought it from Amazon.co.uk Thank you Nicholas.
David, I’m so grateful to you for that! You could have just asked me for an ARC version, though – i’d have been more than happy to send you a copy! π
Of course I’ll read it. Or I’ll just buy it when it comes out. I’m okay with that. Either way, I’m reading it!

You’re the best, and as a small thank-you you can expect to find a copy in your inbox shortly π
Yes please, I’d love to read it, enjoyed the others!
Super, I’ll send it right away! π
Happy birthday and you’ve been busy, busy. Congrats on completion. π
Thanks! π
Happy Birthday and Congratulations on finishing book three! Many reasons to celebrate so I raise my glass to you and say, “stinygiasou” (I hope that’s right)! I don’t envy what you have to do with the series but I think it is a great idea! I’ll take a raincheck on the offer of an ARC. I have a lot going on in addition to my own writing. π Cheers!
Lol – that is absolutely perfect. And I raise my glass to you and your writing. Cheers! π
Happy Birthday Nicholas! Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Patrick! π
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICHOLAS! And many more…
Thank you, Sue! π
Oh, happy birthday… ya bugger!
Hadn’t realised ‘double’ reason to celebrate.
Good stuff Sir!
Thanks, dude π
I ‘am’ aren’t I…
A “Dude” that is!
Recognition at last. Frequently tell gals how outrageously ‘kool’ I am <<< spelt with a "K" the Cool… sorry "Kool" way, they don't seem to be getting the hint.
Dude 'keep surfing the literary muse…' and good on ye!
Thanks, kool dude! π
Happy birthday and congrats. Though I plan on buying it to help with the numbers and debut. Looking forward to it.
Ah, you’re too kind. Thank you π
Happy Birthday my friend! Wish you lots of happiness and success. I am already well into the book and loving it, thank you! The republishing/redoing bit sounds like a nightmare, I am not envious at all π Hope you sort it out soon! Been there where things needed changing, it’s not fun, but it’s a trial and error game we’re in, isn’t it. All the best π
It’s a bit of a nightmare, but fun. Thank you so much for the wishes! π
I’m going through something along this line, myself. I am rethinking the start of my Barbarian story, but want to keep some of what I’m changing to put in different sections. Glad, at this part of the stage, that computer files make it so easy to shift things around! Scrivener is my friend! π
Ah, I only use good ol’ Word. I keep trying to learn Scrivener, but it stumps me. Oh well…
Congrats, Nicholas! Happy Birthday! My husband’s birthday is on Saturday. So you are almost exactly the same age. My uncle’s birthday is today as well. The month of great people though! Have an awesome day and enjoy.
That’s so funny! Thanks, and wish both men in your life a very happy birthday for me. π
I will, thank you, Nicholas!!!
Congrats and kudos on finishing the book! Wish I had more time, then I’d volunteer to beta read at once. As it is, I’m really pressed for time at the moment (hardly even blogging, but making good progress with my own writing), so… rain check? π
Deal. Thanks, Amos! π
So far I’ve only read Schism, so I’m not the ideal person to beta read this one, but I’m sure you’ll be beating them off, Nick! On the bright side, at least I started at the (very) beginning! All the best with this, and congtatulations!
Thanks! Let me know if you’d like to read Rise, too. π
I fully intend to read all your books and will buy them when I’m ready! But thanks for the offer!
Ah, you’re too sweet. I’ll be happy to send them to you, though π
Happy birthday Nicholas – hope you have a great day! I haven’t read books one and two yet, but I’d be happy to read this one if you think it’s OK. xx
That’s so kind, thank you. π I’d rather you started with Rise, though, or you’d have a hard time figuring it out. I’d be happy to send you a copy, if you wish!
Thanks Nicholas, that’s very kind of you! Perhaps we could do a swap, I can send you a copy of Oak and Mist when it’s published?
Of course! And thanks π
Happy birthday Nicholas! I am not sure if Si-Fi is my cup of tea, hope you have plenty of readers/ reviewers. If not, I’ll give it a go! Best wishes, Barbara
That’s so sweet of you, but I’d rather you started with Rise (book #1 now), or you might feel frightfully confused. I’d be happy to send you a copy. It’s not really scifi, just set in the future. π
