It's always a pleasure to be able to put out a post like this, announcing the release of a new work of short fiction and giving my readers a chance to grab a free copy.
This Friday and Saturday, my latest story, Lethargica, will be FREE on Amazon for the Kindle.
I hope you will help me achieve my goal of breaking into the "Top 100" on Amazon with this release of a story set in World War One.
It's a beautiful and tragic tale of a man and a woman separated by an ocean, a war, and perhaps something even darker and more horrifying.
Early reviewers write: "I really liked this one... The writing style reminded me of Tim O'Brien meets Humphrey Cobb meets Ken Kesey meets Joe R. Lansdale..."
"...a touching tale, written in Edward Carpenter's unique voice. It has very poetic prose with a wide variety of adjectives and metaphors that build the mood of the piece perfectly."

Looks a really interesting story and I'll post the link on Facebook and Twitter for you.
ReplyDeleteJust one tiny little criticism of your video - Pilot Hi-tech point pens were not available in WWI. You should have used a 'dip in the ink bottle' pen or early fountain pen.
John, great eye, and thanks for the support!
ReplyDeleteYes, that was a small detail in the clip that I hope might be overlooked... Next time I'll take greater care!
I do hope you enjoy the story,
Best regards,
Edward
