As of late last night,The Valkyrie’s Tale<\/em> is officially available for purchase<\/a> through my publisher, Lulu.com<\/a>. The trade paper version clocks in at 444 pages and costs $24.95 plus shipping (but no tax). If you’re in a hurry and\/or you’d like to save money, you can also download an electronic copy for $2.95 — which is, needless to say, much cheaper, though it’s harder to take into the bathtub.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to get a flavor of the story, feel free to read the first two chapters of it<\/a> at no charge to you, the reader. (More excerpts to come, so stay tuned!)<\/p>\n

I do want to thank everyone who’s been helpful to me during the creation of this book: Mark and Jill Bradford; James Ian Broadhurst; Michele Carroll; Andy Crouch; Kay and Bob Fecke; Chris and Jenn Rasinen; Donald and Diana Rasinen; Don and Marne Rasinen; and Stew Snyder for their support and assistance; and to Miia Rasinen, for possessing a name which I have now pilfered and given to a Valkyrie; I either apologize or grant a hearty “you’re welcome,” depending.<\/p>\n

I’d also like to thank National Novel Writing Month<\/a>, for giving me an excuse to write a novel in the first place, and Lynne Lancaster<\/a> for the use of her image, “Tree 2,” for the cover of this novel. And of course, Barry, for not telling me that I can’t post this, mainly because I didn’t ask in advance. I’ll make up for it by plugging Hereville<\/a><\/em>, which is awesome, and I’m not just saying that because I’m allowed to post here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
