Reminder: My Books are Free!

books, Brandon Sanderson, free, no cost, price

For those of you who don’t know this, I just wanted to explain the price model for my published books:

Short Version: They’re Free!

Long Version: They’re Freeeeeee!

But Hayden, I hear you ask, how can you just give away your books for free, despite all of the time and effort it took to make them?

Well, the answer is simple: I know how much of a gamble it is to spend your hard-earned money on an unknown and untested author, so I removed the risk. Now, you don’t have to choose between the latest Brandon Sanderson epic and Be Good, you can have both!

If you like what I’ve written, great!

And if you unfortunately don’t, then at least it didn’t cost you anything.

Of course, I am only able to give away my books because they are not my primary income stream. I am currently working as a Physiotherapist in a private hospital, which earns me enough to pay my bills and keep food on the table.

But who knows what the future holds? If possible, I would like to write full-time, enabling me to bring out better books more often, but in that case, I will most likely have to start charging for my works.

Until then, my books will remain free.

Also, please don’t worry about getting half-way through The Chronicles of New Eden and suddenly hitting a paywall. All of my current series will be free, from start to finish, for the foreseeable future.

With that said, why don’t you give my books a chance, you might just be glad you did!

Happy New Year!

I hope that all of you are celebrating the new year with friends and family; and, failing that, with a good book in hand!

I wanted to take this moment to outline my plans for 2020, which is set to be one of the busiest in my writing career.

A quick note before you continue: all of this is tentative and subject to change, including the order of releases and the timeframes stipulated.

So what can you expect from me in 2020? Well, I am planning on releasing five books this year, which would be a personal best.

They are, in order of release:

1. Son of Man (finally!) – Q1
2. Unannounced Sequel – Q1
3. The Chronicles of New Eden 3 – Q2/3
4. The Beggar Chronicles 2 – Q3/4
5. The Metrophobia Collection 4 – Q4

I know that this is a very vague list, but I will fill you in on the details as the year progresses.

With this, I hope that you will look forward to tons of new stories and surprising twists!

Until next time, Ciao!

The Godhand has been published!

That’s right, my latest book is available to purchase for the low, low cost of nothing at all!

Just like all of my other books, The Godhand is now available for FREE on Smashwords! It will also be available on Smashwords affiliates (Apple, Barnes & Noble etc) within the next day or two.

The book will also be available via Amazon within the next few days. Due to their restrictions, it will cost $0.99 on their platform. This is unfortunately as low as I can set it with them.

The book is set in August 1972. A handprint a hundred kilometres across sitting in the Iraqi desert has just been discovered. On the other side of the world, three people unknowingly work to uncover its mysteries. Richard, an atheistic geologist, seeks fame and glory. Gary, a computer translation specialist, seeks to right the wrongs of his past. And Elaine, an investigator at NASA, seeks to uncover the truth. Together, they will discover the secrets of The Godhand… and humanity will never be the same again…

The book is my first foray into the Alternative History genre, and I can honestly say that I’ve never done so much research in my life!

Another first for me was writing the majority of The Godhand on my phone. A pro was definitely easy access even in the middle of a busy workday. A con, however, was auto-correct. No, Apple, the rocket was not about to ‘lunch’…

Well, enough of me prattling on! The Godhand is FREE and available now, so there’s no reason not to head over to https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/992411 to check it out!

Enjoy, and look forward to my next book!
