The Moon Dwellers 1st Book Birthday!! Get Your Free The Moon Dwellers Ebook and other Prizes!!

Today my book, The Moon Dwellers, turns 1 year old! It was 1 year ago today (June 30th) that I published the first book in my first ever YA dystopian series, The Dwellers Saga, and changed my life forever. Since then, The Moon Dwellers has outsold and drawn more hype than any of my other 13 published books, and has risen to the top 10 of many YA dystopian lists on Listopia, finding a place amongst bestselling books such as The Hunger Games, Delirium and Divergent. The birth of The Moon Dwellers also changed my life forever. As I've gone from struggling Indie author to fulltime writer, I've watched in amazement as my  Goodreads fan group has swelled from 300 members to over 1,400. Since writing The Moon Dwellers, I've has gone on to write and publish two sequels, The Star Dwellers and The Sun Dwellers, as well as three books in a sister series, The Country Saga (Fire Country, Ice Country, and Water & Storm Country). I plan to release the 7th and final book, The Earth Dwellers, in the combined series on September 5th later this year.
 
So what do I want to do to celebrate The Moon Dwellers book birthday? Give away as many free ebooks of The Moon Dwellers as possible! So if you’re like so many others who are obsessed with YA dystopian novels like The Hunger Games, Delirium, and Divergent, and haven’t yet read The Moon Dwellers, now’s your chance to do so FOR FREE.

 And for those of you planning on reading The Dwellers and/or The Country Saga, here’s a special note about the series:
The Earth Dwellers will cap off an eighteen month journey that has taken me from unknown Indie author to still-mostly-unknown fulltime Indie author. The change is a subtle one for most people, but for me it’s a dream come true. To the hundreds (and now maybe even thousands!) of readers who have come along for the ride with me, either by reading the Dwellers Saga, the Country Saga, or both, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now down to business. There may be some of you who have only read the three books in the Country Saga or only the three books in the Dwellers Saga, and are now thinking you’ll read The Earth Dwellers, which is supposedly the 4th book in BOTH the Country Saga and the Dwellers Saga. Well, that’s awesome! However, I must highly recommend that before reading The Earth Dwellers that you read the three books in BOTH series. Trust me, doing so will greatly enhance your experience, as The Earth Dwellers will be taking significant characters from both series and crashing them together (yes, like a water country wave) into an action-packed tale of struggle and loss and hope and friendship…and maybe a little love, too.
Anyway, that’s my advice, it’s up to you what to do with it. In any case, thanks for being a part of my own adventure, I’m a better person for having written stories for you!

I was born in El Paso, Texas but moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when I was very young. I grew up in Pittsburgh and then went to Penn State for college. Eventually I moved to Sydney, Australia where I met  my wife and soul mate, Adele, who I've now been happily married to for more than two years.
 
A reader all my life, I began writing novels for the children's and YA markets in 2010, and have completed 15 novels, 13 of which have been published.  In June of 2012, I became a fulltime writer and am now travelling the world with my wife while I write books, and she writes and takes photographs.

I  gleans inspiration from all sorts of crazy places, like watching random people do entertaining things, dreams (which I jot copious notes about immediately after waking up), and even from thin air sometimes! Recently I've been inspired by some of my favorite authors, like Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth, and Maggie Stiefvater.
 
I'm  a writer with OCD, a love of dancing and singing (but only when no one is looking or listening), a mad-skilled ping-pong player, an obsessive Goodreads group member, and prefer writing at the swimming pool to writing at a table.  I love responding to e-mails, Facebook messages, Tweets, blog comments, and Goodreads comments from my readers, all of whom I consider to be my friends.

  5. Yay, voodoo, congratulations, and HAPPY 1st BOOK BIRTHDAY, David and TMD!!!! So happy for you -- and quite stunned at HOW MUCH you've written and published in that year! Damn, you're prolific :) So I've been meaning to ask you -- I'm wondering in what order I should read them. I'm assuming that, since the Dwellers saga was first, I should start there and then read the Country books. Is that best? Thanks!! And happy b-day again!!

    2. Aww you are so nice, thank you!! I've been working very hard to make my dreams come true but I still need positive reinforcement like everyone else, so I appreciate your kind words :)

      The series was meant to be read with The Dwellers first and the Country Saga, but in reality you can read either one first as the plots and characters are completely separate :) Hope that helps and enjoy!!!

  9. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before
