Excerpt: The Other Lands by David Anthony Durham

I wear several different hats in the sci-fi / fantasy community, all of which keep me increasingly busy but I can’t ever imagine not doing them.

• I am a contributor for Suvudu, and love it every day.
• I have a signed book business at The Signed Page that allows me to bring some really good interview and video content here.
• And when an author I respect asks me to design their website, I’ll generally take on the duty and am able to post excerpts for the fans to read.

I have been the webmaster for David Anthony Durham from before even Acacia was published. I liked the man, having not even read his book at that time, and I knew we would have a great working relationship. He deserved a nice-looking website. So I tried to give it to him.

Then I read Acacia, and knew I would be spending time in the future working more with David because he would be successful and need my services.

That time was this last week.

The sequel to Acacia, The Other Lands, is forthcoming to all fine bookstores on September 15th. David asked me to redesign his website to feature the new book, as well as add some other fun things like an excerpt. Today I finished with the redesign (you can see it HERE), and part of that was adding the Chapter One excerpt!

If you are a fan of Acacia, you will want to read that free chapter!

For all of you collectors out there, David is also signing and personalizing copies of The Other Lands at The Signed Page.

And lastly, visit his Blog and Forum! Lots of nice folks are on there and David loves conversing with his fans and fans of the genre.

David will be writing a piece for Suvudu soon, and on September 15th Suvudu will be allowing fans to chat with David at 7 pm (EST), 4 pm (PST).

More to come!
