The Sword and Laser discussion

At the Clarion West party last Saturday I was asked to define 'Diaries of a Dwarven Rifleman.' After some thought I said, "Hard-science fiction set in a fantasy world as written by Louis L'Armour."

The world of the Dwarven Rifleman is very much technology-driven, but with a wild-card thrown in... Magic. How this affects the technology and how it is employed shapes the entire world. We took great pains to insure that the technologies employed in DoDR were real and would function.

But while the world may be technology driven the story is very much character-driven, and the characters are very much individuals. There is no paper-doll evil here. There are good goblins and bad dwarves. The thing is everyone, Dwarf, goblin, or Man is human in their own way.

Great title, is there going to be a kindle version available in the UK please?

Bought. The concept sounds cool and I gotta support a fellow Seattleite.

While the book was by no means perfect, I strongly recommend everyone go check it out.

WHAT??? It's not PERFECT? But it's a $3 Kindle title!!! :)

It's not available in the UK for Kindle? I thought that it was. We'll check into that.

OK, we checked- it is available in the UK as a kindle title. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Diaries-Dwarv...

Thanks very much, I 've just bought it. I don't know why my earlier search of the store only revealed the US version.

I can't explain it- thanks for buying our book!
