House Name sample chapter

Posted in writing, Books, DAW, download.

Volume 03 of House War: House Name

Aaron asked me earlier — while I was in bunker mode — if I’d put up a sample or teaser chapter for House Name, as it’s due out very soon.

Because I’ve been late and things have been hectic, I’ve only just now managed to do this — but in compen­sa­tion (yes, sadly, I’ve been needing to use that word a lot recently), I’ve put up the prologue and the first chapter of the book.

It’s on the House War page in the sidebar/bibiliography link up top. It’s only .pdf, at the moment; let me know if that’s a problem for anyone.

    Thank you.

    It’s beau­tiful; and even though I know the story, it makes me want to read more. I guess I’d forgotten how much of a story hadn’t actu­ally been told by the end of ‘Hunter’s Death’.

    Thank you so much! I’ve been looking forward to this book for a while, and reading the sample pages just upped the excite­ment even more. The House War series looks to be as fantastic as the Sun Sword books!

    Arghh!!! Why am I never satis­fied?! 43 pages — 43 wonderful pages. And now I’m growling at my calendar wishing the holi­days were over already? LOL — Michelle I think you like to torture us. :-) Thank you.

    AAAHHHH!!! I wasn’t ready to be done yet! Is it January yet?! Thanks for posting the first chapter. That was just about the best belated birthday gift ever (since my birthday was Sunday)! :-D I love the way you are over­lap­ping the books. Hunter’s Death was actu­ally one of my favorites so being able to get more of that story and different points of view is so exciting!!!!!

    I too would like to say thank you for posting this Michelle. I am now chomping at the bit wanting to read the rest of the story.

    Michelle:
    small niggle. The page with the House Wars books says that House Name is due out January 2010.
    Now, shall I tanta­lize myself by reading one chapter, or wait till the book comes out?

    Love your books! I think sun sword series would make an awesome anime! I was wondering if the publisher or your­self would release sun sword series in ebook format? I have all your books in paper format but it’d be nice to have the aver­alaan world in one place. :D

    What a wonderful surprise today, in the midst of all the crazi­ness that is a book­store two days before Christmas. I went into the stock­room and there, just sitting there on a half-empty cart, was a copy of House Name! (And two mass markets of City of Night. I shudder to think I might not even have noticed it but for the fact that it was sitting face-up.) I know we’re getting close to January, but still, I really wasn’t expecting it yet, and in the Christmas crush I hadn’t been checking on its status as I usually would. I shudder to think I might not even have noticed it but for the fact that it was sitting face-up. So tonight I have an early Christmas present. Thank you, Michelle & DAW.

    I have really enjoyed the Sun Sword and Hunter books (multiple reads) and am I can’t wait for the upcoming releases. As I am hooked on audio­books which are all I have time for with my commuting schedule some­days, I am wondering — are any audio versions are being considered?

    I am so jealous that you found a copy of House Name. I really want to go looking, but it is Christmas eve, so i will try and resist. Merry Christmas everyone and happy reading.

    I am jealous too! Just one more reason I need to work at a bookstore…if only I could find one to hire me! I just asked for a gift card for Christmas since the book was coming out in January. :-)

    Hi Michelle,

    Do you know if House Name will be released inKindle Format? I checked Amazon today and the book itself has been released but there is no Kindle version (City of Night eBook was released the same day as to the hard­cover). Thanks

    Yes, I was also wondering about when it will be released for the kindle as well.

    Eagerly waiting to read the book. When will it be out as an ebook?

    I had to break down and order the book online! The one copy that came into my book­store got sold before Jan 1st, when I went looking for it! They had more on order, but it was gonna be at least a week…time to turn to the online store. The order has since been delayed and I am still waiting!! Darn it for taking the cheap way and picking the free ship­ping. :-p

    Cassandra> Our store copies just arrived this past Thursday — just in time for me to snag one and send it back home with my LA-bound sister, who was here for a couple of weeks over the holidays.

    I’ve been so totally off-line I might as well have been on Mars, and I’m catching up – slowly – as of Right Now — but thank you so much for drop­ping in to let me know!
