The Admonishments of Kherishdar: Now Available on Amazon!

cover

In Kherishdar, when a person commits a crime, they become their sin....

Suicide. Rape. Child Abuse. Addiction. Twenty-five crimes. Twenty-five stories. Twenty-five narrators... and one minister over them all, to judge, convict and Correct the faulty: the priest who serves Shame.

This companion volume to The Aphorisms of Kherishdar explores the wayward and their journey back to society, offering another glimpse into the Ai-Naidari culture.

A darker, more difficult glimpse—

Without Shame, there is no Civilization.


At last, after months of work and tweaking to get the best-looking volume I could possibly create, it's ready! 72 pages; 7 full-color interior illustrations, including two you've never seen in full! Done in the same style as The Aphorisms of Kherishdar, but starker to suit the subject matter. [info]dave_bryant outdid himself with the layout.

Dawn - The Admonishments


Making the illustrations part of the story and having the stories flow from the images to the words so smoothly, both visually and contextually, elevated this one beyond my first effort. This one breathes. I'm really proud of it. I think you'll be pleased with it too.


Buy Now!


I hope you'll spread the word! Remember, if you haven't read the book you can still read it for free online! Decide for yourself if you want a hard copy, and check out the companion volume if you haven't already, The Aphorisms of Kherishdar. If you buy them together, you'll be way over the top for Supersaver Shipping...!

And as always, thanks so much for your support. Without your patronage none of this would have happened. I am proud to say this volume had even more sponsors than its predecessor. Your faith in me is inspiring and humbling, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish next!

Hee!

Can you somehow bug Amazon to get this on their other sites (Canada especially)? I'll order it from the US site and pay shipping if that's my only option, but it would be great to have your books in the Canadian store! :)

Congratulations!

I've asked about this and they can only do US Amazon, unfortunately. :/ But I'll tell them there are requests for other Amazons. :)

Congrats, hon! I've been waiting for this to be ready, so I could buy both Admonishments and Aphorisms at the same time. ^_^

I just got my copy of the book this week. It is gorgeous-and I especially like how you handled the 2-page spread of artwork. ("Dawn", I believe?) I love that you can see the whole image and none of it gets lost in the binding.
