Forsworn is out TODAY!
My newest book, Forsworn, in my newest series, The Forsworn Oath, is out TODAY. For those who have been following along with my previous two epic fantasy series, Fatemarked and Kingfall, you know that Forsworn takes place chronologically years later, in a kingdom called Finfalla. As with my other series, Forsworn has a large cast of diverse characters with complex motivations that will lead them

of
Forsworn (The Forsworn Oath Book 1):
"I’ve been a huge fan of David Estes ever since I read his scifi dystopian book The Moon Dwellers years ago. And then he started writing his epic fantasy series starting with the Fatemarked books. I’ve read everything he’s written to date, in several "

Michael's
question:
Hi Michael, thanks for your interest in Fatemarked and Kingfall! Chronologically, Fatemarked takes place before Kingfall, but the series are unrelated so they can be read in either order, as the settings are on different continents in the same world.

Slip was both wondrous and awful to read as a Mother! I can't wait to read the rest of the Trilogy!
Hi Dustin! Me too, I was glad my friends list went back below the maximum so I could add you :)
Greetings, David!I'm excited that we are now officially GR friends!!! Thank you!

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to send me this message, it really made my day! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the Dwellers/Country Saga and that you felt all different emotions throughout the story, that's exactly what I wanted :) I really appreciate all your support and I hope you enjoy my two newest series just as much or more!!! Keep in touch :)
David, I must say, the way you wrote The Country Saga and The Dweller books were amazing! I usually do not like to read books that have series where they change characters and story lines but I decided to give it a try. WOW! I am so glad that I did. The books were just amazing! I cried and laughed and felt everything. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for the opportunity to read such amazing books.
I'm great, thanks! I'm stoked to have finally released
and
:) How are you? Hope you're well!
Hi Christine! Thanks so much for your interest in a signed book! Do you already own a paperback of Fire Country that you want me to sign or do you want me to send you a signed copy of Fire Country? If you already have the paperback, I'd be more than happy to have you send it to me and then I can sign it and send it back. You would just have to pay for shipping on both ends.If you don't already have the paperback and want me to send you a signed book, you'll have to wait until I do my next signing, which I'm planning for mid-November. Typically I take orders on signed books for about a week, and then do a bulk order of books which I sign and send to everyone who ordered.
Let me know which option you prefer and I look forward to signing your book!
David I was wondering if you can autograph your book called fire country please
Oh dear ahhaha!Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi hahaha
Do u remember that^

I'm excellent! How are you? Well, I'm excellent except for the two hurricanes heading for where we live in Hawaii lol!!
Hi David,I haven't been on here for ages! How are you?
Thank you! I managed get some writing in. This sat i am flying out to montana to see family(taking a vacation) should be nice since i never been there. I need a vacation, kids been bit out control lately lol. I can't wait to read your new novel!
Hi! Things are going great, just finished a new book which is a sequel to one I'm looking for a publisher for :)Good luck with work and conquering the writer's block!
HeyJust seeing how you doing. I still work in summer, just less kids but still pretty busy. How's the writing going? I have bit of writer's block but still trying write something.
Have great weekend

Aww you're so welcome, Erin! Thanks for accepting :) Oh wow, that's such a cool coincidence that you have one of my books! Ooh, I really hope you enjoy it, it's so nice meeting you :)
Thanks for the request. I was kinda shocked when I sas that you had written the moon dweller series, the fist book has been sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust for some time now and I can't wait to read it.
Aww you're so welcome!! Thank YOU for accepting the request and for being such a fun, cool reader :) I'm basically just a reader myself, who happens to write too, so I love being a part of the book community here. My wife and I love Mexico, so cool that you live there. Greetings from Hawaii :)
Woohoo!! Thanks for the friend request David! :DIt's always great to find a really nice author that enjoys being in touch with his readers.
Greetings from Mexico :)
HeyHow you been? So know book i started while back. Forever Promises. I re wrote it bit and it's now 92 pages. I'm trying not edit it too much, not till i finish it. Or never will.
Hope your writing going well.
Jenia
Hi David, I finished Independent Study. You can check out my review on my shelf if you wish, and we can talk about it on the YA Dystopian Book Club. :)
No worries, thanks for accepting and popping by!
Hi Daniel, thanks so much for your interest in
:) The easiest and least expensive way to get The Moon Dwellers is via ebook on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iBooks or Smashwords :) Unfortunately, the only way to get the paperback is on Amazon.com which ships from the U.S. The book is not in bookstores, but it has found its way into a number of Canadian libraries, so you might want to check your library's listings online. If your local library doesn't carry my books, you can request that they stock them, as my books are in the catalogue for Canadian libraries.Hope this helps and I really hope you're able to read The Moon Dwellers and the entire Dwellers and Country Sagas!
Hi David,Moon Dwellers has an ingriguing premise, and I would like to give it a go, but I don't know where to find it in Canada.
Wondering if you knew how I could get my hands on this book without overpaying for shipping from the US.
Thanks.
No way, too cool! I love when it falls on a Friday ;)
Hey I just noticed we have the same birthday :)
