Yet we use the english language in the UK style! Doesn't not make sense!
And our bookstores and libraries are stocked by preference from British publishing houses!

Far In The Wilds by Deanna Raybourn is available for pre-order and it's free. Africa, 1918. I'm in.

ETA: use this linkto get to the free page. I'm hearing it might be more of a novella, one friend is saying 54 pages. Hmmm.

It is my understanding that it's a novella which supplies the backstory for the hero of her next book which comes out at the end of April. I had already pre-ordered it so not sure I can cancel and then order through your free link. The orig pre-order price wasn't much to begin with (I think $1.99 US IIRC). I am under the impression novellas like this are being used more and more as a marketing tool to whet reader appetites. I loved her Julia Grey novels and couldn't resist the African setting for this upcoming book.

I haven't read that series yet, but hear lots of good things about them. I will have to read the new book, I do like the African setting. Off to check the library and see if they've got it on order.
