M.R. Mathias rose from unknown to award-winning, best-selling author at a pace most authors can only dream about. He is a prolific writer of epic fantasy novels, novellas, and short stories. Despite his busy writing, publishing, and promotional schedule Mathias continues to aid his fellow indie authors by posting about their books at Twitter and Facebook etc. He shared his considerable knowledge of self-promotion in publishing The First Ten Steps. The book has become an important indie guide for navigating the often murky waters of using social media sites to get your eBook in front of avid readers. Mathias has taken cross promotion to a new level in his Indie Kindy giveaways where he gives away a FREE Kindle Touch and or Kindle Fire loaded with independently published books. These events create a great deal of interest for the authors involved and to independently published books as a whole. It is a pleasure working with M.R. Mathias and watching his amazing run at the top of the Amazon best seller lists. William R. Potter Indie author Founder of the Independent Author Network There are few writers in the genre of fantasy that can equal the creative mind of M.R. Mathias - now acknowledged as a master in this genre of dragons and dwarves, and magic, and spells, and all aspects of fantasy. -- Top 100, Hall of Fame, Vine Voice, Book Reviewer, Grady Harp Visit www.mrmathias.com, or use these series hashtags on twitter to find maps, cover art, sales, giveaways, book reviews, upcoming releases, and contest information: #Wardstone #DragoneerSaga #VanxMalic #MRMathias
