Title: A New Novel is Born
Post by: Andarian on August 19, 2011, 01:07:54 AM
A fellow CRPG modder (and two-time GDA winner) pioneers the path of adapting his epic game saga as a novel, e-published as a Kindle book. This is an intriguing approach that I may follow with Sanctum of the Archmage, although in my case work on the novels actually predated the game adaptations.

Nature Abhors a Vacuum -- The Aielund Saga, Book One (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GDF79A) by Stephen L. Nowland (aka Savant)

Book One of The Aielund Saga (http://www.aielundsaga.com/novels.html) from the Aielund Saga Website (http://www.aielundsaga.com/index.html)

Awesome.  Might just get me to buy a Kindle.

It's a great idea. KooKoo also published some of his short stories in Kindle format, as well as sold his novel as an e-book a few months back.

Indeed he did.  He is going to publish everything he is writing in e-form.  He feels it's the best way to get your material out there.  He even has some free stuff that is available for reading.  Authors Let's Get Acquainted (http://authors.getfreeebooks.com/).
