Author dares to release pdf files as free to read for new fantasy epic.

Author K.M. Frontain, within the last month, has already released four books in a fantasy epic she says crosses more boundaries than traditional publishers want to cope with. "I didn't stick to the rules," she says. "I included sex, not just regular sex, but sex of other preferences, and I don't mean just gay. I crossed a line in that I didn't make everyone heterosexual, and also that I didn't make all the gay characters maniacal monsters out to do in the universe. That's just so typical, and wrong. The main character of my series is bisexual, and he won't take crap over it from anybody."

Frontain says she wrote her book from this angle because she wanted to push the boundaries of social perception. "Whatever sexual orientation a person has, he or she is still a person. Now make that person imaginary and put him or her in a fantasy setting, and there's the makings of one wild ride. Why should I write a typical fantasy? There are tons of typical fantasies already on the market."

K.M. Frontain says, "My epic is huge, more than fifteen books over one hundred thousand words each. I can afford to be generous. Since my books aren't in the library yet, I've made the Internet the library. Go ahead. Download my introductory books. In the age of the Internet, there's no reason that readers shouldn't have a pdf loan of an author's first book in a series, if the author is willing. I'm just making sure my future readers are happy."

What is her series about? Frontain says it starts out pretty regular, but then deviates from regular as the epic progresses. "I have elves, yes, but I don't have beneficent and wise elves. No, they're nasty. Hate humans. And my evil sorcerer isn't as evil as everyone thinks. Well, he is actually, but he has a valid reason, but then my protagonist just destroys him mentally and physically. That's kind of typical, but it's really all my protagonist's fault that my sorcerer goes off the deep end."

Frontain also has gryphons and angels, but the angels aren't very nice. "Think Greek gods," she says. "In Greek mythology, the gods were messing about with mortals whenever they thought they could get away with it. That's about the state of things in my fantasy world. Oh, but I only have one goddess. Now there's a really nasty predicament for all those divine males."
