The first ebook is my own work, but the rest are from other up-and-coming independent authors. Try a download first to see if the stories look like something your kids would enjoy!
They're short, they're scrawny, they're green, and they want to be heroes. The problem? Goblins are supposed fish, forage, and stay out of the world's way, not challenge odious villains.
But Malagach and Gortok aren't going to let a few rules keep them from their dreams.
Armed with their wits, their stolen (er, borrowed) books, and their scavenged tools, they're ready to eradicate the evils around their mountain home. Or get in a lot of trouble trying....

I'd be curious to know how children's books are selling compared to other novels on ebooks.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I bought the Emperor's Edge and loved it :)
(I did a search on Steampunk and found your novel listed. I read the first few sample chapters and was hooked)
Hi, Lynda! Thanks for giving EE a try!
ReplyDeleteMost of the indie children's authors I've talked to have agreed that children's ebooks are still a tougher sell than YA and adult stuff (fewer kids with e-readers), but they're also optimistic that more and more youngsters will have access to the technology and sales will increase in the coming years.
We'll see!
This looks like an interesting blog i like the reviews and look forward to following you. Thanks for checking out my blog as well and hope you feel welcome leaving your comments and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI finished reading the Goblin Brothers and I HIGHLY recommend it. This isn't a fanboy post, this is an honest critique of the writer and her work. The stories were short and sweet with a consistency that was fresh in the #kindle community. I'm very outside of the MG readership and I found myself trying to make time so I could 'just finish the next story'.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the 'sticker' price. Go buy it.
yep, that's what I thought. I believe the shift to youngsters using e-readers will happen fast and soon.
