Attention everyone!
Nina Kimberly the Merciless here, star of Nina Kimberly the Merciless, by Christiana Ellis. As I am sure you are all aware, the battle has run into an unforeseen interruption.
The campaign on Friday the 15th started off extremely well, and my book rose from a sales rank of 2 hundred Thousand to number 533 overall by 11:40 AM Eastern Time. Although the book had not yet been posted to the specific genre charts, that sales rank would have been Number #11 in Fantasy, #2 in “Epic” Fantasy, and #1 in “General” Fantasy.
That was before noon eastern time! There is no doubt in my mind that that was only the beginning.
But the Inertians must have been afraid, because they then resorted to a desperate tactic that we had not forseen. It is still not clear exactly what happened, but the Inertians have caused some kind of an error in the Amazon system that resulted in the book being reported as out of print. When that happened, loyal barbarians could no longer purchase the book, thus preventing us from rising any higher in the rankings.
Right now, we don’t know yet when this will be fixed. We didn’t foresee this strategy. However, we have our best spies and shield-breakers working on this as we speak and hopefully we will be through their defenses soon.
In the meantime, I know that there are a lot of you out there, just like me. Spoiling for a fight! You thought you were going to fight some evil spirits, only to have a door slammed in your face! If you’re like me, that ticks you off and you want to do something about it! Well, here’s the new plan. Right now, the Amazon issue requires a scalpel, not a broadsword, and so I have different orders for you, my loyal horde!
Although continuing to attack Amazon is satisfying, right now, it is counter-productive, so instead, I want all of you to focus on finding and converting new recruits! The Inertians specialize in disrupting momentum, preventing changes from ever happening. Now that they have interrupted our campaign, we must work all the harder to be ready to resume as soon as we breach the shields again. We must find anyone and everyone who has not yet heard the call, and prepare them to join our cause!
We have several tools available, the videos, the promos, but your best weapon is the pdf version of the book. It is easily distributed on blogs, websites, forums, and Podcast feeds. It has the complete version of the story, so people unfamiliar with the story can determine whether or not they will like it, and most importantly, it contains links to the Amazon storefront page. The people who click those links now will not be able to purchase it yet, but every click-through will be one more hit, showing the Inertians that their tactic has not eliminated demand for the book.
So go, help spread the word, spread the pdf version of the book far and wide, and when we once again break through the Inertians defenses, we will be ready. I know I can count on all of you, and thank you for your loyalty and support. Now get out there, and be merciless!
Free and complete, this pdf version of Nina Kimberly the Merciless is for sharing with friends. Spread it around to all and sundry to promote the glory that is Nina Kimberly the Merciless!

Brand New promo for Nina Kimberly the Merciless.
(New version, now compatible with Flash Players)
Thanks to Tyrnon's now-healed wings, he, Nina and Francis are off as the dragon flies, headed to the Oriland to stop a war.
It's a showdown between William and Tyrnon, and Nina rushes in to help, but... help who?
At long last...
Following their con in Korstahl, Nina, William, and Francis head North once again, but the mysterious dragon tracks near their campsite suggest that Tyrnon isn't gone for good, and just what will they find when they reach the wizard?
Nina, William and Francis travel North, but why should they PAY for cold-weather gear like suckers when they can "convince" someone to do it for them?
Nina and William compare notes on Tyrnon, then the party travels on, heading for the mountains.
Nina and William just had a heart-to-heart, but it seems as though Tyrnon wants to discuss a few things with them as well...
Now that they've managed to escape the arena, Nina heads back to rendezvous with William and Tyrnon at the campsite.
When we last left Nina, she was in a spot of trouble. Now she has one
dead knight, one idiot king, an arena full of furious spectators and
the super-heated breath of an angry dragon on her face. A difficult
position to be in, even for an Uhk.
(Note: A new version of this file has been uploaded with adjusted volume levels. The only difference is that the music in the first scene is now quieter so as to not obscure the narration.)
This is it! The day of the big bout between Tyrnon and Francis is finally here! Hopefully, everything will go as planned...
It's the day of the big "fight" between Tyrnon and Francis, but before that can happen, there are some final details to arrange with Jonathan the event coordinator, and of course, Nina has to tell Tyrnon about the good news regarding William.
Nina, William and Francis return to the campsite, leaving poor Tyrnon alone in the Arena dungeon, and Nina decides it's finally time to come clean about her phony amulet.
Nina and Tyrnon have a plan for getting out of town safe and rich, but now they have to convince Francis and William. And just why did Tyrnon follow them into town anyway?

Nina has to think quickly when Tyrnon rampages through the city square, pursued by glory-seeking knights. And where are William and Francis?
The party is all rested up and it's time to head into town for some new supplies, but Tyrnon isn't happy about staying behind, and is that an Arena in the distance?
Nina, Francis, William and Tyrnon settle in for the night, but on such a gorgeous Summer night, with the moon and the stars and the flicker of the campfire, surely there's more to do than sleep...
Nina discusses William's offer with Tyrnon, then they all decide to camp for the night, but the first meeting of Francis and William doesn't exactly go smoothly for Nina.
Nina and Francis head into the woods where Tyrnon waits, ready to implement their plan, when an ambush from a band of hidden bandits complicates the matter.
Nina and Tyrnon return to the farm to conclude their business with Johan and the Shepherd. Francis, as usual, contributes nothing while Tyrnon proposes a rather unusual deal.
Nina decides to pursue the dragon, and when she finds it, she learns a little more about its history from his "owner", Johan the fabrics merchant. Then it makes her an offer that, technically, she could refuse, but she decides to accept instead.
Nina and Francis have been on the road for a couple of weeks now, and though the traveling has been uneventful, the increasingly revolting proximity to Francis has been forcing her to reconsider her plans. That is, until they stumble across a dragon.
Nina has been spending a lot of time at the tavern, all for nothing. She's been waiting for some questing heroes to show, but they seem to be taking their sweet time, so she decides to get a little more proactive. But before she can set off to find a quest of her very own, her plans are derailed by the lovesick king's decision to follow her.
Christiana takes you on a personally-guided tour around some of the locations in her podcast novel, Nina Kimberly the Merciless.
