Holiday Goodies

This post is business up front, party in the back, just like your favorite mullet.

In case you feel like givin’ the gift of Atticus n’ Oberon this holiday season, there are a couple of different ways to get signed editions if you want:

For people in the east valley of Arizona, the Barnes & Noble stores at San Tan Village and at Dana Park have signed copies available. So does the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale.

For everyone else in the whole world: You can order signed, personalized copies of any or all of the books through The Poisoned Pen. The sooner you order, the greater the chance you’ll have ’em in time for your family hootenanny. The Poisoned Pen ships internationally too in case you’re outside the USA. You can call them toll-free at 1-888-560-9919 or order online here. Be sure to let them know if you want it personalized; otherwise it will arrive with just the signature. If you go to the online store and it says signed copies are “not in stock” don’t worry—they restock fast and will call me in to get ’em signed for you.

Star Wars news: I’m still writing that book. :) If, somehow, you missed that tidbit, it’s a Luke Skywalker adventure set betwixt Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. I don’t have a title or release date yet.

Iron Druid news: Book 7, Shattered, will be out June 17. Should have cover art for you soonish. Before that release, I believe I’ll be able to release the short story “The Chapel Perilous” all by itself on eBook platforms for the gigantic sum of ninety-nine cents. (Currently it’s available only in the Unfettered anthology.) I’m hazarding a guess that it will be up and clickable sometime in late January or February with original cover art by Galen Dara, and hell yes I’m geeking out about that.

Epic Fantasy news: I have my outline finished and soon my editor and I will huddle up and discuss it over absinthe and clove cigarettes. Which is totally true except for the absinthe and clove cigarettes. Well, damn—I don’t know. Maybe she’ll surprise me and bring some.

Shiny New Idea news: I’m also squeezing in time to work on a shiny new urban fantasy idea. No clue when or even if it will see print because it’s quite new and I haven’t fleshed it out completely yet. But if it works out I will say REMEMBER THAT SHINY NEW IDEA THAT ONE TIME? HERE IT IS.

The problem for many authors is never HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH IDEAS it’s OH CRAP, HOW DO I STOP GETTING IDEAS?

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll definitely be giving thanks for my spiffy readers. Peace n’ stuffing to you and your family.
