I just started working a new tale yesterday. I have it all in my head, now I have to figure out which parts to tell and which parts to leave out! - Scott

Well, we were FINALLY able to get our latest book (The Tears of Mars) into publication. It should be available on the Nook and Kindle in the next few days. Paperback in a week or so.

We hope you'll find it worth the wait!

The Tears of Mars

Finally, after a year and a half, I was able to type "The End" this morning.

I apologize to all my readers who have been eagerly awaiting its completion, but sometimes life makes demands on you that you have no control over. In my case, I had to do quite a bit of traveling this past year, including a 5 month stretch in which I flew over 80,000 miles to places as far away as Thailand. But I never stopped working or thinking about the story, and believe it or not, more than half of this book was written at 30,000 feet!

It really turned out to be a wonderful story, and I'm sure Salesman fans will enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Look for the eBook versions to go on sale by the end of the year, and the paperback version shortly after that.

On to the next Salesman tale!!

Free Kids Books for the Kindle!

Starting tomorrow through 12/29, Darktime Tales Publishing will be making TWO of Scott Swift's terrific children's stories available for FREE on the Kindle! "The Red Queen and the Eye of Divination" and "The Swamp Dragon and the Lake of Fire" are part of The Traveling Salesman's Darktime Tales series and are meant for kids ages 10 and up.

What are the Traveling Salesman stories about?

Originating from the fantastical tales a father made up from thin air each night for his sons at bedtime, the Traveling Salesman is a mystical, magical wizard of sorts who uses his wits and wizardry to escape tight spots and help those in need. Traveling from town to town, he sells everyday items enchanted with magical properties. But beware! If the items are misused the consequences can be dire. Each tale is a standalone story in its own right, but taken together they weave a rich and vibrant world inhabited by werewolves, witches, and magical creatures of every kind!

Click below to see the stories on Amazon, and be sure to check out Scott's audio books too!
