Amazon Kindle discussion

Hi, after an absence from publishing I'm now publishing new work as both ebooks and print versions. The Snow Falcon is a rewritten version of my one and only international bestseller, and The Flyer is a new, long novel, that I'm sure anyone who enjoys Downton Abbey would like. I'm also about to release the first installment of a cataclysmic series called Black Sun. Thanks for reading.

The first reader review of The Flyer has appeared on Amazon for the kindle version. It was given a 5 star rating. It reads as follows:

I could not put this book down because it was so intriguing. All the characters were interesting. If you are thinking of reading this book you will not regret it. Beautiful. My favorite author. Thank you. BRAVO!

Both The Flyer and The Snow Falcon (revised version) are now available as print books on Amazon US and UK, though the Flyer might take a few days to appear.

Having taken heed of comments re ebook pricing in general I've reduced the price of The Snow Falcon to $2.99 and The Flyer to $4.99.

TSF was an international bestseller when it was published in 2000, this is a completely revised and rewritten version. I'm hoping readers will try it at this price and if they enjoy it, buy my new novel, The Flyer. They are both relationship dramas with interesting and exhaustively researched settings.

So, back to editing The Flyer. The first 100 pages of the novel concerns William’s early life up to the point where he meets the other main characters. When I wrote the story, his early life was essential, in my mind, to creating a fully formed character the reader could identify with. The Flyer could be described as a love story, but it is much more than that. In the second half, where the story moves to France against the backdrop of the first war to be fought in the air, the focus remains on the relationships between the characters, but the setting provides elements of danger and action too. My overriding goal from the beginning was always to write about William. I wanted to portray him as a strong character who overcomes repeated adversity, but who is affected by the events of his life. I saw him as lonely and emotionally distant, though always acting from the conflict that arises from his deep-seated desire to be loved and to belong and the fact that the people he cares about most represent the very kinds of people he has struggled against all of his life. My problem was that if I cut the first 100 pages, all the events that show how William became the person he is are lost. How could I do that?
