Once a Knight Sale

For a limited time, my self-published comic fantasy, Once a Knight, A Tale of the Daze of Chivalry, is on sale for $.99. I can honestly say this book took longer to write than it should because I couldn’t type for laughing. It’s got puns, bad jokes in droves, and it makes fun of everybody.

Think of the great legends of yore: Robin Hood, Ivanhoe, Captain Blood… This is nothing like them. But the heroes are noble (well, some of them), the villains are evil (all of them), and it features a supporting cast of pirates, Vikings, calendar models, drunken yokels, and a princess or two. (Not to mention the dragon.) What more could you ask for?

And it’s on sale. Or as Stephen Legume would say, “I’ll give you the family discount.”

Once a Knight on Sale

For a limited time, my comedy/fantasy/medieval quest novel, Once a Knight, is on sale for 99 cents!

Set in the quaint and you’ll-never-find-it-on-a-map kingdom of Ieed (named after the last words of its first king, who died in battle), Once a Knight is the story of two brothers, Bruce and Stephen Legume, who, after suffering the misfortune of being separated at birth, experience the even greater misfortune of finding each other again.

Bruce has been raised in Japan to become a noble and fierce samurai warrior. When his clan is betrayed, he is forced to flee to the West in order to discover the family Secret, which may help him avenge his adopted kinsmen. Stephen has grown up on the streets, never knowing a bed of his own (but plenty of others’). A rake and a con man, the only nobility he recognizes is the jack of hearts.

As they say, you can’t choose your family–no matter how hard you try.

And yet, through a series of adventures both thrilling and fortuitous, our boys find themselves the only hope of a kingdom besieged by enemies that appear invincible.

Will Bruce ever find the family secret? Will Stephen ever pay his bar bill? Can they save Ieed? Will they be able to keep from killing each other long enough to do the job?

Heroes. You take them where you find them.
