The first draft of the second volume ("Terra Marique") of the Truthfarer series is nearing completion. It is anticipated that the final draft will be ready for publication around Christmas 2010 (taking a lot, lot lot!! longer than expected). This will be available for download in pdf format only, and password protected. Unlike the first volume - "The Ghosts of Earth" - the second book will not be for free distribution (although a price has not yet been set for it). It has been decided not to go for full DRM (Digital Rights Management) on this publication for a number of reasons. The general consensus seems to be that such a system is cumbersome and counter-productive, and finally breakable! Therefore the expected method of delivery will be by download via this site. Thereafter, and upon receipt of payment through the PayPal system, a password will be emailed to the customer, who will then be able to open the pdf file (but for their sole use). We hope that such a simple method is attractive to potential customers although we may 'tweak' the system from time to time to improve efficiency. We shall also be investigating the possibility of making traditional hard copy versions of the books available.
Thank you in anticipation of your interest
Regards
