Just published my novels on Kindle

richard childers · 08-21-2009, 06:37 PM

I have recently published for the Kindle two historical novels. The first, Kings of California, focuses on the wildly adventurous life of John Sutter and his establishment of the first colony in Northern California. I spent two years researching the history and it encompasses many of the formative events in California History including the Bear Flag Revolt, the Mexican War, the Gold Rush, and the tragedy of the Donner Party.
The second book, Blood May Be Thicker, set in the mountains of Northern New Mexico, describes three generations of one family and their lives in the area around Santa Fe. Once again, the history is thoroughly researched and the story is compelling.
Both books are available for a limited time for $1. I hope you will give them a try and let me know how you like them.

Welcome to MobileRead, Richard!

Your books sound very interesting. My husband is a huge history buff and loves to read stories set in the old west. Are your books available anywhere else in other formats? While you are here at MR, be sure and check out the Writers' Corner. We're adding more and more authors to our membership everyday. Enjoy.

Happy Reading (and Writing

)!

You should consider also selling on www.smashwords.com. You get to keep a lot more of the money and the novels will be available to people who don't own a Kindle.
