Demon Lord and Dark God Available on Smashwords
Finally! Good news! Demon Lord and Dark God have just been published as e-books on Smashwords, and Demon Lord is a free download, so anyone can get a copy. Then, if you want, Dark God is available at a small cost. I will soon be publishing the third book in the series, Grey God, followed by the rest of these books, which include God Realm, Dark Domain and many more. Having found this excellent avenue to publish my books, I will also be publishing my other fantasy and sci-fi series there very soon.
I feel that it's important for potential buyers to be able to read the first book in each series for free, then decide whether or not they want to continue reading the series, since most of my fantasy and sci-fi series are rather long - between four and ten books.
After the frustrating time I've had trying to find somewhere to publish my books, it's a relief to finally find a place that offers and excellent service to authors. Please go along and get the free books, and keep checking for the other series I'll soon publish, which you'll find listed when you click on any of my books on Smashwords. I will also announce the launch of the various series here, and on my site, which I'm currently building and should be finished soon.

Sales of E-books Stopped
The payment portal company I was using to handle online payments has made it impossible for me to withdraw funds, so I have been forced to remove the sales links for Demon Lord and Dark God. I shall endeavour to find another payment portal company that will handle my online sales, but until then I can no longer sell online, and I have lost the payments I received previously.
Still, my struggle to publish my books continues. With a further 20-odd books still awaiting publication, the mission grows arduous. There seems no end to the obstacles I'm encountering on this journey, which are making even self-publishing seem impossible. Hopefully, I shall find a way to do it eventually.

E-book Purchasing Instructions
At last, Demon Lord and Dark God are available as ebooks! I've searched high and low for an ebook site that will compile my books into ebooks - not an ebook publisher, because they just want to change them too much - and have come up empty.
These ebooks are EXE files, so they cannot be emailed, but it's a simple matter to download them. I have tried to find a way to produce secure PDF files, but have failed. Apart from purchasing the Adobe Distiller programme, which I can't afford to do, there's just no way to do it. So all I could find is a free ebook compiler.
Sorry, but yes, it has a notice that pops up between pages to tell you it's an unregistered version of the ebook compiler - in other words, it's a demo copy! Best I could do, though, being penniless. If I sell enough books, I'll be able to afford to buy some proper ebook compiler software! Then everyone who got a copy of this version will get a copy of the proper version, for free.
All you do is click the 'Buy Now' button, and follow the instructions to pay for the ebook. Once you've made your purchase, email me (contact author link) and let me know you've bought a copy, and I will check in my Monsterpay account. If the cash is in, I'll send you a URL where you can download the ebook.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
