Sample Chapters?

[ballplayer72]

So are we getting sample chapters for taw? 


Cause by my count that would mean august would be the start.

Anyone have any idea?

The prologue & 1st chapter were freely given out at the SDCC booth, & think if asked, Penguin would give the okay to release these.  I've already sent Pricisilla a PM on the matter.

At SDCC I acquired a Advanced Reader copy & on the back are a list of places, events & capaign where said advanced book is to be distributed.

The second chapter was released as a sample here back in March.

That is only an excerpt from chapter 2, not all of it (its about 1/3rd of the chapter by a quick guesstimate).  Plus, I think people would appreciate being able to read the prologue & chapter 1.

Both were released on a easy to grab leaflet that was at the Penguin booth, so I wouldn't think Penguin would have issue putting those chapters up if asked.  I myself have the advanced reader's copy that was available to people following the @acerocbooks twitter account while at SDCC 2015 (which I did attend).

Tweets such as this one:

I hope to give a review of sorts this weekend, but I warn you I'm horrible at these kind of things.  I'd also like to post pictures of the cover & back of my advanced reader copy, but I need to check with the mods on that.  I mean, I can't see any issue, but maybe I'm missing something.

Check the review I slapped up on goodreads, which basically summarizes all the fun stuff Jim has said about it in interviews.

They will be doing a sample chapter starting the month prior to release, per Priscellie.  Such things have usually been one chapter per week, released each Tuesday.

Where are the sample chapters released to?

Where are the sample chapters released to?

To the main webpage, here is an example
http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/skin-game-15/skin-game-chapter-1

So when it is time go to www.jim-butcher.com click books -> The Cinder Spires -> The Aeronaut's Windlass ->Chapter  1.

Links will also be posted in the forum when a sample chapter is released.

[NutJobismyJob]

I've noticed that the prologue was scheduled to be released as a sample yesterday, but there doesn't seem to be a link to it.  Anyone know what's up?

[OZ]

Just follow the directions that Magnus gave in the post before you.

So when it is time go to www.jim-butcher.com click books -> The Cinder Spires -> The Aeronaut's Windlass ->Chapter  1.

You have to click books at the top of the page, not forum.

[OZ]

FWIW this is the direct link to the first installment: http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/cinder-spires/the-aeronauts-windlass-1/aeronauts-windlass-prologue

The directions above, however, will allow you to find each new installment as it is posted.

Oh God, I couldn't get throught the first line. Why those names, whyyyyy? 

[ITheHellAmFan]

Are you kidding, those names are glorious!  You just don't get that kind of wonderful nonsense outside of something like steampunk.
