I had several options for publishing this short story, but I decided to publish it through my in-house publishing company, Hotel Room Press, as an e-short in the Kindle and Nook bookstores. It’s 99 cents and features a fantastic cover painted by Tom McGrath. This is my first foray into digital ebook sales, and I’m curious as to how it will perform, especially as it is a short story.
Deadeye is on sale now at Kindle ebook store and the Nook ebook store.
Here’s the publisher’s copy:
In this searing short story, Kerr takes steampunk conventions–alternate history, airship battles, and even an invention of Nicola Tesla–and weaves them into a highly personal tale of a soldier looking for redemption.
Deadeye is the tale of “Deadeye” Wolfson, a decorated civil war soldier making his way home to see his ill father. But a simple trip is complicated by contraband, his fame, and an air battle where Wolfson’s life is changed forever.
