Upcoming Events

I have a few book events/signings coming up next month:
July 9 at Aaron's Books (Lititz, PA)
July 16 at Borders Books (Wilmington, DE)
July 30 at Borders Books (Harrisburg, PA -- Jonestown Rd.)

I'd be glad for some company at any (or all) of them!

Post below if you need more details.

Kickstarter for Fantasy

Hey folks, I want to tell you about a worthy cause. William Horner is the editor/owner of Fantasist Enterprises, a small press dedicated to producing quality SFF books and anthologies. FE was the first venue to publish my work, years ago, and now they are looking for donations so they can keep producing great stuff.

Please visit their page on kickstarter.com.

U.K. Cover


Here's a sneak peek of the U.K. cover art by famed artist Chris McGrath (you may have seen his work on Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files).

Shadow's Son is due to be released in the United Kingdom next month!

I had to share this...

I'm not one for putting up every review I get, but I had to share this one by Charlaine Harris, She Who Rules The Night.

A thousand thank you's, Ms. Harris. I am not worthy...

Son Now on Kindle

Hey folks,

I've just been told that Shadow's Son is now available on Kindle for those who prefer ebooks (but feel free to buy both versions if you like...).

Here's the Amazon link to the Kindle version.

Good Company


Here is a photo of Shadow's Son hanging out on a table at the Flights of Fantasy indy bookstore in Albany.

I just have to say that seeing Son sitting beside Steven Erikson's book is beyond awesome. I'm going to go in the other room and make fanboi squeals.

Special thanks to Alaya Johnson for taking this pic.

In Stores Now

It's been a year since I signed the contract with Pyr Books. Now, as the first copies of Shadow's Son are hitting bookshelves across the country, the feelings are indescribable (not a good state for a writer, I know). The only thing I can compare it to is the birth of our son: you're happier than you've ever been, and at the same time scared out of your mind. Maybe the best news is that two years from now the book isn't going to be running around the house, destroying everything it can reach.
