Hell’s Gate and Forging the Blade, Second Edition, Are Now Available on Amazon!

You have no idea how happy I am to announce that Hell’s Gate, the book I’ve been working on for the past three years, and a much better version of Forging the Blade are now nestled snugly beside the second book, Mainly by Moonlight, on Amazon. They are ready to read in either paperback or eBook format.

It was a long, head-banging process. If someone had told me how difficult and confusing it is to set up a series with a second edition as one of the titles for Amazon books, I would never have believed them. Fortunately, KDP has patient and knowledgeable techs.

Hell’s Gate is a popular title with authors, so be sure to also type in C. LaVielle, and if you want the second edition of Forging the Blade, be sure to get the 2021 edition.

I have author copies of all three books if you’re in town and want to buy them from me. But if you buy them on Amazon you can leave a review, which would be more valuable to me than the extra money I would make if you bought an author copy.

Amazon statistics show that products with zero reviews and ratings don’t sell. This is a daunting Catch 22. On Amazon, a customer has to buy a product before they can leave a review, but no one will buy a product that hasn’t been reviewed. So, reviews and/or ratings from you, the folks who care enough about my books to buy them, even if they don’t have a hundred five-star reviews, are more precious than gold.

If you want a signed copy, I am planning to have a book signing in Grant Park, which is beside Grant High School, which is Molly’s high school and where much of Mainly by Moonlight takes place. 

Thank you!
