An exciting press release today! EN World will be featuring Jonny Nexus' hilarious novel, Game Night, in serial format! The date for the publishing of the first instalment is Monday 16th November.
London, 2<SUP>nd</SUP> November 2009
Magnum Opus Press is publicising the ebook release of award-nominated comic novel Game Night by Jonny Nexus by serialising the entire text on leading fantasy roleplaying community website EN World.
The whole book will be released online in twenty-six free weekly instalments, with each episode directing readers to websites where they can buy and download the full ebook edition of Game Night.
“We knew it was important to choose the right partner for this project,” says James Wallis, director of Magnum Opus Press,. “EN World’s status as the number one website for roleplaying fans made it the obvious choice, and they’ve been enthusiastic from day one.”
EN World's Russell Morrissey adds: “I bought and read Game Night over a year ago and laughed the whole way through. As a novel which will tickle the funnybone of every gamer out there, serialising it on EN World adds fantastic high-quality extra value for readers of the website. I personally can't wait to start reading it again, and sharing my enjoyment of the book with many others.”
Game Night was described by RPG.net as “The best novel every written about gaming. One of the funniest novels ever written about anything.” The print edition of the book was nominated for a prestigious ENnie Award in 2008.
Jonny Nexus, author of Game Night, says: “Game Night's been out nearly two years now, and while it's sold well and we've done what we can to publicise it, I know there are still plenty of people out there who haven't even heard of it. Partnering with EN World in this way will put the book before the eyes of tens of thousands of new people. If some of them choose to buy it that will be great, but as a first-time author I'm really just wanting people to read what I worked so hard to create.”
