My first novel
Hello FUMBBLers!
I've recently completed my first novel - a fantasy book set in a world of my own creation.
Somewhat in the style of Joe Abercrombie/GRR Martin or Bernard Cornwell, 'A Path of Blades' tells a tale of feudal scheming, noble rivalry and desperate survival against the odds.
Pre-order of the eBook is available now for release on the 1st of August, with a paperback due to be released on the same day.
Link to amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CB4WLCFL/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0
And Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/184200291-a-path-of-blades
It would mean a lot if you could share this to anyone you know who might be interested.
Thanks very much,
Rob

Gratz!
How grimdark is it? Humour? Scenes of a... um... naughty nature?
Isn't/wasn't J.S. Morin a Fumbbl coach?
How many authors are there on here?

Impressive! Seems like you've achieved a dream, which is by no means a small feat. Hope you get good feedback and money so you can continue chasing those dreams.

Congrats! This is huge.
I'm a big fan of Joe and GRR... I'll definitely put this on my wish list.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, that means a lot.
This is my trial run for bigger and hopefully better things so my only real aspiration is that the people that read it, enjoy it.
BTW if anyone wants to exchange a free copy for a goodreads/amazon review, that's on the cards. DM me and we can chat.

I'll have it whenever it moves to Kobo!

JS Morin was a fumbbler, and he gave away his first book for free. It was so good, I bought the next 8 he wrote! A nice business model.
Sounds like exactly my kind of book - I'll be reading it!
