February 27, 2012: Time for the Future

So, the Foreshadows: Ghosts of Zero anthology–which includes "Twenty-One-Oh," my own short story, as well as tales by a huge number of truly talented writers–is finally available. This project is not just a book, but also a CD of original music, each piece having inspired, or at least thematically linked, with one of the stories. Take a gander; it’s worth the look.

Also, because I’ve been asked recently, I want to say something about both Darksiders: the Abomination Vault and Agents of Artifice. In both cases, I tried very hard to make the books accessible to newcomers, so you shouldn’t need to be familiar with the properties (either Darksiders or Magic: the Gathering) to read the books. There will be a few details/references that you won’t get–no way to eliminate that factor entirely and still be faithful to the setting–but it shouldn’t prevent you from enjoying the novel as a whole.

And finally, you have two more days–until midnight on Wednesday–to enter the Crossing the Streams multi-author, multi-book contest. If you haven’t yet, you really should. Really. Go do that. Now, even.

February 16, 2012: Tomorrow, Golarion

I’ve just completed a short story set in Golarion, the primary Pathfinder campaign setting. πŸ˜€ "Hell or High Water" will be appearing in four parts as part of their serialized web-fiction series, probably around July (give or take). It was a hell of a lot of fun to write, James Sutter is a blast to work with, and I’m looking forward to doing more of this as time and scheduling allow.

(Hopefully this will finally convince people that it’s possible to like both WotC/D&D 4th edition and Paizo/Pathfinder at the same time.) πŸ˜‰

In the interim, my recurring February reminders: Thief’s Covenant is now out and on shelves (as well as available on Kindle for a steal, and coming soon on Nook). If you’re still on the fence, the prologue is available as an excerpt over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist.

Also, the Crossing the Streams multi-author giveaway runs for another couple of weeks. So go enter already!

February 14, 2012: Release Day!

And Thief’s Covenant is out! Not coming soon. Not available for preorder. Officially released into the world. πŸ˜€

Find it on shelves, have it shipped today, or get it right now on Kindle. (For, I would remind you, less than half the cover price, at least for the moment.) It’s not out on Nook yet, but I believe that’s coming soon.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a new book and help me make this my biggest release day yet, would you? I’d sure appreciate it. πŸ™‚

(And also, here’s your semi-regular reminder to check out the multi-author Crossing the Streams contest, if you haven’t done so already. It’s worth your time, I promise.)

February 9, 2012: Thief’s Covenant Excerpt

Interested in reading the prologue to Thief’s Covenant? Head on over to Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist for blurb and excerpt both. Thanks much to Patrick and co. for hosting this. πŸ™‚

If you like what you see, the book’s out in a few days and is available for preorder and multiple venues. If you want it on Kindle, that version’s currently available for preorder for less than half the book’s cover price.

And I’m going to take the opportunity to once again remind you about the Crossing the Streams multi-author giveaway, in which you could win a book, or over fifteen books. If you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for?
