I saw this mentioned over at Locus Online.
You can now download Chris Howard’s novel, Seaborn for free. More and more I find this to be a good idea, as Chris Howard is now – at this moment – known by more people than who bought the book in the first place, who now have a chance to see if they dig him for future consideration (and loot). This was published last August by Juno books, which off the top of my head I wasn’t familiar with either, but apparently was an imprint of Wildside (which I am familiar with). Now, however (as on January 2009) the imprint is now a part of Pocket Books and the awesome - Bodhisattva approved – folks at Simon & Schuster (which admittedly has little to do with this particular news item).
Looking through his site, he also has his Nanowhere available for free as well. You can’t lose with free!
Synopsis:
Corina Lairsey has just clawed her way free from one controlling relationship when she finds herself in another-only this guy, Aleximor, has really gotten under her skin. Literally. A 400-year-old sorcerer who gathers the drowned dead off the ocean’s floor for the King of the Seaborn, he’s inside her head and is wearing her body like a wetsuit. Corina desperately schemes to regain control of her self, fighting against time as Aleximore trades pieces of her life away in exchange for power over the path between the worlds of the living and the dead . . . Kassandra is the King of the Seaborn’s granddaughter. She comes from the sea, but has spent her whole life in exile on the surface, struggling to control frightening powers she barely understands. She declares war on her murderous grandfather and manipulates her family, friends, oceanic royalty, and the US Navy to aid her- but Aleximore intends to use Kass to carry out his revenge against the entire Seaborn royal line. And she’s also fallen in love-one more struggle for an already troubled soul.
