We’re on track to have Turn Over the Moon released in October (the advance reviewer copies have already gone out). To help celebrate—and to help prepare you for some of the thrills ahead—we’re offering free digital copies of “Farewell to Tyrn,” the novelette that first introduced heroine Belde and her sidekick dinosaur Rint. This is the direct prologue to Turn Over the Moon, and you can receive a free copy (PDF, mobi, epub) if you sign up for the Dream Tower Media newsletter. Which you would want to do anyway, because Dream Tower doesn’t just product quality books, but also podcasts and radio dramas. You’ll also receive alerts for Turn Over the Moon as well as other upcoming goodies.

“Farewell to Tyrn” has a gorgeous new cover by Robert Zoltan:

I love the older illustration for “Farewell to Tyrn” that Fred Jordan did for me; he was the Illustrators of the Future winner who was assigned to illustrate “An Acolyte of Black Spires” when it won the Writers of the Future Contest. I have it framed on my wall and it was my banner art and Facebook avatar for years. However, Robert’s new illustration brings out the sense of adventure in the story—in fact, before he started the illustration, I had already guessed what sequence he was going pick. “It’s going to be Belde and Rint jumping between roofs,” I thought. And indeed it was.
