Free Book Inside!

There are billions that crawl underneath us and hover over us, but when we are gone, still they will remain...


Hello fellow forumites,


I just released the first two novellas in my dystopian dark fantasy involving the lives of insects. The series is called There are No Gods for Arthropods:

Synopsis

The human race has disappeared and discarded the world as a leftover. But in their absence, it is the insects that emerge and form an interdependent society. They live in the giant Sourwood, the last great sanctuary since a catastrophic incident one hundred and fifty years ago.

Fig, a lint-sized mite, toils away pruning the dead leaves off of the Sourwood. He, like most insects, will live a short life and in twenty-seven days he will die. After witnessing a horrific murder, Fig is confronted with his own fleeting fate. He crosses paths with the nihilistic Fly King who offers Fig a chance—the promise of eternal life. With only the name of Alice Abernathy and a crew of bug bunglers, Fig must wander through the twisted realm outside of the Sourwood where he will discover a truth the Fly King has been hiding for over 300 years.

Got My First Review!

So were in day three of the free promo, and I received my first review.

Headline: It is well crafted, intelligent, and different

The Sourwood is great read and wonderfully created world and I am excited to see and read more from Wolanski. The main character, Fig, is a bubbling nobody who resides at the bottom of a very tall social totem pole and gets pushed down further everyday. When his path crosses the mortal enemy of The Sourwood, Fig must decide how he will live out the rest of his short insect life. What Wolanski does so well is to tell a story from an insect point of view but not make it cute and childish but real and intelligent. The characters have depth and the world Wolanski has created has so many possibilities. I really enjoyed the story. It is well crafted, intelligent and different.

I think that single review looks a little lonely... Download a free book and kindly leave an honest review.

I have an ungodly fear of insects. But I will try it!
