Devastating News

April 1, 2014 D.A. Adams 4 Comments

I just received word that Amazon and Barnes & Noble have both halted sales of my series because of a couple of humorous blog posts from a couple of years back. Apparently, I violated both companies’ “Non-Offensive Sanitized Language” policies with my jokes about Cletus McOnetooth, Billy Joe Oilmoney, and Bubba Blacklung. What kind of country do we live in where people are so easily offended that we’ll destroy a person’s career over harmless satire? I’m just devastated. Nine years of my life down the drain over a handful of entries that only my friends and family actually read. I can’t believe this is happening, especially after the recent successes.

The Brotherhood of Dwarves - Book One — The Brotherhood of Dwarves – Book One

Yesterday, The Brotherhood of Dwarves became a bestselling book, hitting #6 of all Fantasy titles on Amazon and #143 of all books and rising to #51 of all titles on Nook Books. A huge round of applause needs to go out to everyone at Seventh Star Press for their efforts, and a personal thank you is extended to all of my friends and readers who helped keep this series alive over the years. Without all of you, I would have faded away long ago. While this surge of success is wonderful, the hard work is just beginning in order to keep growing and expanding the readership base.

If you are just now discovering this series, I want to express my gratitude for you taking a chance on my work. Even if you end up not liking the first book, I appreciate that you took the time to read it. As I’ve expressed to many people over the years, please offer me your feedback, as I love to hear what readers think. That’s how I can grow and improve as an author. Please know that I make every effort to respond to everyone personally and encourage you to engage with me on here, Twitter, Facebook, or Google+.

Welcome to The Brotherhood of Dwarves, the adventure you’ve been waiting for! As always, thank you for your support.

St. Patrick’s Day Dwarven Extravaganza!

So for a few weeks now, I’ve been promising big news, and now, I can announce it. Today, The Brotherhood of Dwarves will be featured on Book Bub as a fantasy recommendation (though I’m not entirely certain at what time). For those of you not familiar with the site, it has over two million subscribers, and while obviously not all are fantasy readers, its fantasy subscribers are fairly robust and quite loyal. Today has a chance to be quite a day for the series.
