What an amazing launch we had yesterday for ONCE WE WERE KINGS! On facebook, we had an all day chat session with readers, fans and the author (me), and generally celebrated the birth of not only a book, but an entire literary world! I say that with humility, of course.
There was so much excitement about this book that on its opening day it hit #22 in bestselling SF/Fantasy ebooks on Barnes & Noble!
And it also hit two bestseller lists on Amazon.com in the Epic Fantasy category!

Excerpt from Once We Were Kings
FORE WORD
Gathered round the wide and level stump of the Great Ancients’ Tree, the Twelve Elders of the Sojourner’s Council stood within the stone walls of the courtyard and rejoiced that the fulfillment of Shamis the Stargazer’s prophecy was now at hand.
By the alignment of the northern constellations they knew that the time of deliverance drew nigh. By the anomalous tide shifts and the unprecedented lunar phases, they knew that the dark reign of Malakandor would soon come to an end.
What they knew not was that a traitor lurked amongst them.
Oreus, the chief elder stood and raised his chalice. “Brethren, thou hast honored the name of Valhandra with longsuffering and steadfast hope.” He turned to the elder on his right. “Hephesta the Wolf-Hearted, thou hast endured three wars over the course of five hundred years.”
With deep humility, Hephesta arose and inclined his head.
