PRE-ORDER YOUR BOOK AND GET A FREE PDF A MONTH BEFORE THE BOOK COMES OUT!
You, my readers, have always been a special bunch. And we have always had a special relationship. I have asked your opinion on titles and covers, and have always tried to write back when you have reached out to me. Now, after 35 years of sharing this special connection, I have another request to make of you, and this time it comes with a gift in return.
I am asking you to become part of a special launch team of volunteers who will receive a free sneak peek PDF copy of my new novel, Lone Dog Road, in exchange for pre-ordering the book and agreeing to post a review on Amazon once the book becomes available.
Lone Dog Road (which you helped title by your suggestions) is the culmination of 35 years of listening, learning, writing, and traveling, and in many ways contains everything I’ve learned about life and the human spirit.
It is a near kin to the trilogy of Neither Wolf nor Dog, The Wolf at Twilight, and The Girl who Sang to the Buffalo, in that it takes place in my beloved Dakotas and involves the Native people and places that have become so much a part of my life. But it also goes much deeper, plumbing the hearts of each of the characters, Native and non-Native, as they speak in their own voices about their part in the journey of two little runaway boys, unaware that this journey will take them all to a place that none of them expects.
If you join the launch team, you will be among the first people to read the book via a PDF copy that New World Library will provide a month and a half ahead of the official publication date.
Step 1
Pre-order a print copy of the book from Amazon as soon as possible.
If you live in the US use this link: https://www.amazon.com//dp/1608689948
If you live in Canada use this link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1608689948
If you live in the UK use this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1608689948
If you live elsewhere, please pre-order the book through your local Amazon if possible.
Step 2
Sign-up to be on the launch team by the end of the day on Monday April 21st. You will need your order number from Amazon, which you can find under the “Your Orders” section of their app/website. Click here to sign-up with your order number now or email kim@newworldlibrary.com if you already preordered from another retailer or are having a hard time locating your Amazon order number.
Step 3
Receive a sneak-peek PDF copy of the book from my publisher via email by the end of April.
Step 4
Start reading the advance PDF copy of the book.
Step 5
Post a review of the book on Amazon.com. When you receive the PDF copy, my publisher will send instructions for leaving a review after the publication date of Tuesday May 20th.
Thanks so much for doing this! My books have always made their way in the world by good people passing the word and sharing the books with others. No big budget promotions, no glitzy sales campaigns. Just you and me working together. Let’s see if we can help this new literary child of mine take a few good first steps on its way into the world.

Hello, Kent
Well I pre-ordered Lone Dog Road from Amazon on 1/25/25 and I certainly took you up on this offer for an early read, filled out the form and immediately got a reply. Really excited to read it! Thanks for the offer.
Best regards, Linda
Glad it worked! I’m just an innocent bystander on the technology. I do hope you like the book!
Too bad for me; I ordered your book weeks ago, from Bookshop.org.
I sent you an email regarding this. I hope you got it. You can still get the PDF simply by writing to Kim at New World Library.
