The History of the Last Couple of Days (or seriously, I'm getting!)

Hi guys,

I know I promised (without making any promises) that there's be a History of Talbadas update.

Been a busy Easter Long Weekend here in Australia (family commitments, organising a manuscript swap-over, checking in on LinkedIn [note to self, LINK OUT once in a while!]), I'm back on the FSJ bandwagon tomorrow (Easter Monday), and I'm going to try and pump out the next history installment as well tomorrow.

Don't worry, for lack of entries here I'm going to make up for that loss with Koren Dietrich, Talbadas' first king, and the many other great things to come in Talbadas' vibrant history.

Thanks for your understanding (OK, I know its only my loss not writing my own history to my own country I made up for the specific purpose of starting a war), looking forward to indulging the History and jumping back on the Hero of Talbadas bandwagon - OCTOBER RELEASE INTENDED!

Cheers,
T. M. Shannon

Tuesday Update: still busy proofing, reproofing and re-reproofing.  Giving up this weeks intention to post to the History.  Soon, I swear (don't make me do an Armage blood-oath I beg you!)

Thanks again for understanding!

And as for going to the moon and doing other things...

OK I've been a bit lax about the history blog.  I've been busy.

It happens.

So now, I find myself not as busy.  At that can only mean one thing: HISTORY OF TALBADAS BACK IN BUSINESS!

I owe myself a couple of catch-ups.  I'm not making promises at the moment, but I'll be doing what I can to get back on track!

The next history installments concern the legendary Koren Dietrich and the birth of the kingdom in the Alpes-Talbadas.


Cheers guys,
T. M. Shannon

"And for my next trick, I need a member of the audience."

Ever considered spreading your influence and helping others along the way?  I know I have - in fact I'm doing it now.

Being in the independent world, self-pubbed authors don't quite have connections like E. L. James' strongest whipping belt (I'll pass).  It means we have to initiate the connections, which to me seems a daunting task.

So I come to my proposition: how would any author's like to share promo through facebook and our innumerable blogs?

It's only a small plan.  Send a few sample chapters and your links to me, I'll send mine to you, and throw you up on a page of my blog (I've got the room, and best yet, I really don't mind doing it).  Got your facebook page?  I'll chuck my likes up, too.  And it is my intention to do this for nothing

Put it this way, I might even review your work for the fun of it (I might even buy your book on kindle!)

I know I'm only a tiny operator at the moment, but so what?  Exposure is exposure, and I have other works planned.  Something has to give, and I'm a firm believer of sharing the love.

So if you're interested, hit me up.  Just leave your query in the comments section and I'll be in contact very soon.

Here's to success!

P.S. in History news, I may try and add more this coming weekend, but I'm not making promises as I'm still busy with many endeavours.  Keep you posted!

History Update

"The work of the Armage is rarely, if ever, done.  So it has always been, and so it will always be."

A saying of the Armage to the King of Talbadas            



In other news, I haven't even so much as given the next portion of the History of Talbadas an update, as I've been so busy with my writing.

So Sunday will not feature an update to the History (awww) but it will be St Patricks Day and a good day for a Guinness (yay) . . . not that this is my excuse for skipping the update.

I have a major Hero of Talbadas project in progress, with an announcement due sooner than soon.  Hold your breath, good things are coming!

Cheers all and apols if you were hoping for something this weekend.  HoT still has plenty of updates in the works, so stay tuned.

TSH Paperback deals on Amazon.com

Hi guys,

Just a shout-out for The Torment, The Shadow, The Heart in Paperback format, there are a couple of great deals on Amazon.

Firstly, Amazon.com has dropped the selling price of TSH to $10.18 (with free-shipping eligability if you spend $25).

The best online deal is with super_star_seller, who have dropped their price $4.99 + $3.99 shipping. 

They guarantee brand new copies, which I can vouch for 100%; they are selling copies that I sent to them, so feel free to check them out - that's what we call paying it forward!

See all paperback options here:


I've put the Kindle copy down to $2.99, where it will stay for the forseeable future.  Sorry, but TSH isn't available in other ebook formats due to Kindle Select obligations.

Go get among it!

Cheers,
T. M. Shannon
