Poster Boy for the starving artist, big with the education, native talent, just not much on anything that makes me money. Well, MS Physics, BS Math, really long series of Maldene books, the first of which is out now.

Return Policy
August 5, 2008 by marktierno
I found out exactly WHY no brick and mortar store carries Maldene; it's listed as No Return. That means that since no store can ever return any copies then none will risk buying any in the first place. My publisher, Publish America, states in their policy that if you buy direct from them then no returns, but if you buy through their distributor Ingram then Ingram handles returns. Apparently not.

FAQ #1
July 8, 2008 by marktierno
Well, so there really IS no asked question yet (not enough people reading the book yet to be around to ask things), but there's one I anticipate, and that regards the way the book ends.
The end of Volume Two, the very end of the epilogue, that last line at the end? Well, NO I am not telling or hinting who it refers to, you'll just have to wait one or two novels to find out the answer. <evil grin>

What This Forum Is For
June 11, 2008 by marktierno
Post here for any general purpose Maldene/author posts that don't really fit into the other forum categories (every place needs a "general" category, right?)
The Purpose Here
June 11, 2008 by marktierno
Post here for general Maldene and/or author news, updates, activities, basically reports of anything Maldene. Also for those who may (think they) have found secrets hidden within the text, the occasional "I've figured it out!" news flash, etc..
Post here if...
June 11, 2008 by marktierno
...you have some favorite scenes to share, want to theorize about what might be going on in the background or which characters have what planned, etc.. This is not a category that the author will respond to any questions in (for author questions submit in "Ask The Author").
And Mike, remember you are sworn to secrecy.

About this category

Here be where you can ask me (the author) anything about the book, plot, characters, any of those old author-type questions. Of course, if it involves anything about me spilling future plot secrets then all you'll get from me might be vague hints. :--)>
Welcome Message to New Members

Welcome to Maldene, a world of magic and wonder far away from the stars of your Earth. The wizards at Customs will take care of adapting your physiology to local conditions so no need to worry about that. Just enter in, enjoy the world, talk up the book, what you've read or ask others about it, or for more info on Maldene you could check out the main site at http://www.maldene.com
Oh, and watch out for our local badguy Miro (pronounced My-ro); he's really bad news.
What Is Maldene
June 3, 2008 by marktierno
Maldene is the new epic fantasy novel by yours truly, so naturally this forum's purpose is regards that book. Discuss, ask questions, chat up questions of the plot I may or may not answer, and generally share in the wonder of Maldene.
The main page can be found at http://www.maldene.com Info on the plot, how to buy, a teaser chapter, my blog, and more is found there.
