Four international indie fantasy authors, calling themselves the Company of Adventurers, team up to create a fantasy sampler. The sampler consists of samples (the first one or two chapters) from four fantasy novels by award-winning authors from Rune S. Nielsen (Denmark), Jasveer Singh Dangi (Canada), Jean Gill (UK living in France), and W.D. Kilpack III (United States), which is available as a free download at www.Bookhip.com/GKSZHLA

According to Nielsen, he gathered this group of very accomplished indie fantasy authors from all around the world for this special project. The hope is to open new readers' eyes to great fantasy stories they've been missing out on! He said, "I carefully chose some of the best authors in the self-publishing business. An international dream team of indie authors. Besides me, our group includes three multiple-award winners: Jean Gill (she lives in France but is from the UK), W.D. Kilpack III (a U.S. author whose book Pale Face is in movie development), and Jasveer Singh Dangi (a Canadian with strong Indian roots). They deserve to find new readers, and I thought I could help."

Kilpack said, "When Rune contacted me to invite me to participate, I thought, 'What a great idea!' I've worked with Rune on a few other smaller projects and they've each been great, so it was an easy decision to say yes. The experience has been even better than expected!"

Nielsen's contribution to the 127-page sampler is from the acclaimed The Doomsayer Prince, which has been described by reviewers as "a must-read," and "a standout work in its genre." Gill's contribution is from The Queen of Warrior Bees, which has been described as "spell-binding intrigue." Kilpack's contribution is from Crown Prince: Book One of New Blood, which has been described as "a well-crafted epic with unique plot mechanisms, well-developed and believable characters, and a world grounded in the visceral and the real." Dangi's contribution is from The Hunter Genesis, Revelation, which has been described as a"thematic exploration of power, morality, and destiny."

The sampler also includes a new short story by Gill and information about each author and how to receive the rest of each of the novels sampled.

He has worked for a number of companies and institutions including the EU Parliament, Kanal 2, Jubii, Microsoft, and the Carlsberg Group. He is a one-man army who not only writes books, but designs covers, draws maps and vignettes, and is the social media, marketing, and sales manager in his micro-publishing house Dane East.
