"After nearly
ten years of work and research, I am proud to at
last announce the publication of The Advent
of the King
ISBN 1-4259-1493-4
LC#
2006900565
AuthorHouse Publishing."This 685 page work of medieval fiction is set
in the feudal world of the late 9th century. The
time period predates the Crusades, heraldry,
courtly love, romantic ideas of chivalry, and
even the Church’s rise to supreme power. I
describe this story as a medieval adventure; it
is not history, nor historical fiction. It
is easy to read, fast-paced, and suitable for
adults, for, true to the human condition, it
contains mature subject matter and also scenes
of violence and graphic sexual content."

Historically, books have always
been expensive due to the cost
of hand copying them on animal
skins. Books therefore were
treasured possessions because
only the truly wealthy could
afford them. Today, prices are
better due to the availability
of paper and computer
technology. However, they are
still not cheap. The Advent of
the King is approximately 700
pages, and therefore the
printing cost alone is more
expensive than a comparable book
of fiction of half its length. Then there is the cost of
shipping...
The publisher uses
UPS, and the shipping for one
book may be, for instance,
$6.00, but the shipping for two
books may be $7.50. Therefore,
if you know of someone who also
wants to buy The Advent of the
King, order together and divide
the shipping cost!
(*Shipping costs may be reduced
even more with multiple copies
being ordered.) |
