This is home base, as it were for City of Amathar Press. Amathar is a huge city, roughly two thousand miles in diameter that resides inside the hollow world of Ecos and is the setting for Princess of Amathar, my first novel. The people are hardy, industrious, and blue. Please take note that this book was written years before Avatar was released. Inspired by the books of Edgar Rice Burroughs (which reportedly also inspired Avatar) Princess of Amathar is a sword swinging, sci-fi adventure.
Today I am visiting beautiful Aerithraine, home of Queen Elleena, with whom Eaglethorpe Buxton once had the pleasure of spending a fortnight. Aerithraine traces its origin to my teen years, where it was the home base for my Dungeons and Dragons game. Though neither of my Eaglethorpe Buxton stories take place in Aerithraine, it does get more than a few mentions from my title character.
I’m here in Springdale California today, staying at the home of Mike Smith and his robot wife Patience. Their house at 11 North Willow, is lovely and futuristic… I guess duh, since it is in the year 2037. The first adventure of Mike and Patience is detailed in His Robot Girlfriend and is available at any fine ebook store absolutely free. The new adventure His Robot Wife is just 99 cents, again, where fine ebooks are sold.
Truly a land that time forgot, Caprona is a place where everybody goes through the stages from the earliest lifeforms all the way up to caveman. Since apparently, even the highest lifeforms can’t read, I’m not really sure why I’m here on my ebook signing tour. Oh yeah! The dinosaurs! Caprona was first reveal in The Land that Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs. They’ve made two films of it, but do yourself a favor and read the book. It’s a free download at Manybooks.net.
How did I get here? You have to jump to Conclusion! This wonderful place was first detailed in Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth. Now, I’m off to take a dip in the Sea of Knowledge.
Who could take a virtual ebook signing tour without visiting Utopia. First described by Sir Thomas More, you can download the ebook here. People here love my book Princess of Amathar, though they are somewhat behind the times in the ebook adoption business.
Some may argue about what is the best part of Oz to visit, but I’m sitting in the Emerald City today drinking tea. My books don’t seem to have taken off here, but I did sign a copy for the Great Wizard. You can download The Magic of Oz and all the other books at Manybooks.net.
Alas, Laputa is not all it once was. For one thing, there are very few Laputans left. Originally detailed in Gulliver’s Travels, a free download from Manybooks.net. You can see a more modern view in the wonderful Japanese film Castle in the Sky. People here really seem to like Princess of Amathar. Probably because it has a flying city in it.
Opar. Beast-men. Beautiful women. Gold. Jewels. What’s not to love? First described in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tazan Returns, it plays prominently in several of his other adventures, not the least of which is Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar. Both available free from Manybooks.net. My most popular book here is Princess of Amathar.
Blefuscu is lovely this time of year. Of course most travelers prefer nearby Lilliput, but I think Blefuscu has something for everyone, especially if you enjoy opening your eggs by their big ends. You can read all about Blefuscu in Gulliver’s Travels, a free download from Manybooks.net. People here really seem to like Eaglethorpe Buxton and the Elven Princess.
