The Black God’s War

‎”Moses is a fine writer and is deserving of success, and I think that it will follow … maybe his project will turn him into the next Amanda Hocking. Personally, I really enjoyed Moses’s work.”
–David Farland, NYT Bestselling Author of The Runelords

“The Black God’s War is, to date, the finest example of quality independent fantasy I’ve seen. This is what indie publishing is all about and I have no qualms about recommending this great novel.”
–Indie Fantasy Review

My debut epic fantasy novel, The Black God’s War, came out on August 1st, 2011. The novel works very well as a stand-alone read, but it’s also the first book in my series, Splendor and Ruin. It’s now available at Amazon US (or UK or DE), B&N, iBooks, and Smashwords. Physical copies are available at CreateSpace and Amazon (I make more money if you buy through CreateSpace, but there’s no free shipping through CreateSpace).

The novel came out of the gate with some great reviews from MotherLode, Indie Fantasy Review, Adventures in SciFi Publishing, Journal of Always, Stories of My Life, FantasyBookReview.co.uk, and a Top 1000 Reviewer at Amazon (R. Nicholson).

A free 15-chapter, 27,000-word excerpt introducing my epic fantasy novel is available for free on Amazon (also UK) and on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, and Sony. This ‘novella’ currently has 30 reviews on Amazon US and 2 more at Amazon UK. At this point, I’d suggest reading only the first five chapters of this free work, since everything after chapter 5 is arranged differently in the novel (it’s better to read the novel after you’ve finished chapter five).

Red Adept, perhaps the indie book reviewer, gave the free novella 5 stars. She accepts bribes, by the way. The novella has been reviewed by Red Adept, Fantasy Book Review, Stories of my Life, Signal dot Noise, Bryan Thomas Schmidt, MotherLode, Novelnaut, W. Brondtkamffer, and Skull Salad. And a great comment from blogger Monica Chriscoe.

The first chapter of my book can be read without a log-in account on GoodReads. You can also catch me reading an older version of the first chapter on YouTube (from March 2010). Below, you can read the first five chapters of my novel thanks to a nifty feature from GoodReads.
