Yay! The kindle edition of Pomegranate Lover went live on Amazon Tuesday or yesterday, and today the print and kindle editions linked successfully, so that you can now access them both from here. This is a collection of short (sometimes very short) stories I wrote on and off between 2005 and 2008 or 2009, and it includes “The Pomegranate Lover,” “The Prince of Horai and the Paper Sword,” “Like Father Like Son,” “Smokesteel,” “Sword of the Kear,” and “Blind Man’s Bluff.” The total collection is about 53-54 pages long, $2.99 on Kindle and $6.99 in paperback.

I am uncertain about how aggressively to promote this; I may do a Kindle Countdown Deal or a Freebie deal of some kind, and I will announce it here if so, but since I don’t know how soon I will revisit this pen name, and the genre is different from my current set of writing projects, I’m unwilling to burn promotional money on things like Bookbub, etc.

A lady who loves pomegranates meets the bard who brought the fruit into her country, and discovers his terrible secret. A Japanese peasant saves a magical princess and becomes a Prince in the mysterious land of Horai…at a terrible price. Alexander Hamilton senses a ghostly presence as he prepares for his final duel. A pirate captain must intimidate a sea serpent long enough for his men to find a way to kill it…Collected here together for the first time, are Tia Baden’s mythic tales of love, honor, and revenge.

The Pomegranate Lover and Other Stories is now available for purchase at Createspace. The print edition should go live at Amazon sometime next week, and at that point I will upload the mobi file and see if the two editions link in a timely fashion.

My short story collection “The Pomegranate Lover and Other Stories” is almost ready to go live. I’ve ordered a proof copy of the paperback version from Createspace, and if I can live with what I did to the cover on that version, I will approve the print version and upload the mobi version to Amazon. In the meantime, here is the cover art for the ebook.

“The Prince of Horai” is now free for a limited time!

It has always been free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers, but for today and the four days after that, it is free for everyone.  This is mostly an experiment to understand how this type of promotion works at Amazon, and there will not be any serious marketing push to accompany this.

You can download “The Prince of Horai and the Paper Sword” here on Amazon US.
