The hour of the dark gods return is now at hand.

Exiled millennia ago, the dark gods have tirelessly sought to return and bend the world of Malweir to their will. Their agents roam the world in search of weak willed men. Only through corruption and chaos can their masters return. It begins in the northern kingdom of Delranan the night King Badron's castle is attacked and his only son murdered and his daughter kidnapped. Angered, he leads his kingdom to war against the neighboring Rogscroft.

A small band of heroes is assembled to find the princess and return her safely but all is not as it seems. Badron falls under the sway of the Dae'shan, immortal agents of the dark gods, and unwittingly begins the final campaign that will reduce Malweir to willing servants of evil.

It begins in Delranan.

Kickstart the adventure by grabbing Hammers in the Wind today. Fans of Tolkien, Brooks, McKiernan, and Martin will enjoy.

His first published book (Hammers in the Wind) has been the #1 free book on Kindle 4 times and he holds a fancy certificate from the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest.

Passionate about history, he combines his knowledge of the past with modern military tactics to create an engaging, quasi-realistic world for the readers. He graduated from Campbell University with a degree in history and is pursuing a Masters of Arts degree in Military History from Norwich University. He currently lives outside of Raleigh, N.C. and devotes his time to writing, his family, and their two Bernese Mountain Dogs. If you drive by you might just find him on the porch with a cigar in one hand and a pen in the other.

How long did it take you to write your book?

Chris Freed

5/11/2021 01:09:34 pm

I wrote this back when I was in the Army so I did it by hand at night whenever I could. Took me the better part of a year for this one, though it was much-much longer. My old publisher decided I should split it in half and here we are. In all, it is a 6 book series.

Cathy French

When the author writes a long series like this, 9 books, does he have that in mind when he starts or does it continue to grow into a longer story as he writes?

Chris Freed

5/11/2021 01:11:47 pm

This was always intended to be a 2 parter. I wrote Hammers and book 2 as a single volume and planned on doing the rest of the story in a second book. BUT my old publisher decided it was too long- almost 190k words- so I halved it and wound up with 6 in this particular series. The other three are standalones that happen throughout this particular world's timeline. I wrote the first one during my down time in Afghanistan in 2002, the second in Baghdad in 2005 and came up with the concept for the 3rd one also in Baghdad.

Do you know before you start a book will it be a stand alone or series?

Chris Freed

5/11/2021 01:13:46 pm

Usually, but sometimes the story takes on a life of its own.

jan

5/7/2021 12:06:39 pm

First off, I love the cover, but combining military tactics and history ... sounds great.

Chris Freed

5/11/2021 01:14:15 pm

That's where my own combat experience (3 wars) and a degree in military history come into play.

Do you have any advice for new writers?

Chris Freed

5/11/2021 01:15:46 pm

Absolutely, I even wrote a pair of books about it. The first one, So You Want to Write a Book just got released in e book with the paperback on the way and will be featured here at the end of June. My initial advice is learn the business side of writing. The reason there are bestsellers is because they follow the current trends. You can easily do this and still remain true to your unique voice.

Chris Freed

5/11/2021 01:16:35 pm

Thank you all for the awesome comments! I appreciate them all and hope some of you will take a trip over to pick up a copy or two. Would love to hear your opinions of the series.
