Available now: The Super Mega Turbo Spiffy Ultra Rad editions of the Iron Druid Chronicles, books 1-3!
The whole series will be reissued this year in groups, and each book has been revised/expanded and almost every one also has bonus material never in print beforeāa total of seven short stories and three novellas. Here’s the release schedule and what they’ll have:
Available Now:
HOUNDED: “Kaibab Unbound” and “Clan Rathskeller”
HEXED: Grimoire of the Lamb
HAMMERED: “A Test of Mettle”
June 14:
TRICKED: Two Ravens and One Crow
TRAPPED: “The Dead Flea Scrolls: A Sirius Prophecy of Poochism” (Oberon’s religion for dogs)
HUNTED: This is the only one with no bonus goodies, just revised/expanded text
September 13:
SHATTERED: A Prelude to War and “The Book of Five Meats”
STAKED: “Granuaile’s Notebook”
BESIEGED: “The Naughtiest Cherub”
SCOURGED: The Buzz Kill
The ebook editions will also contain these bonuses. Audiobooks will not, though those of you who are already longtime listeners will recognize that almost all of those bonuses in print are already available in audio. There are four short stories up there, however, that aren’t, and won’t be, in audio. These print editions are basically the deluxe cat’s meow. But don’t tell Oberon I said that.
The cover art will be all new and consistently designed on the spine so you won’t have the titles and name switch at book seven. YES! Cover artist Sarah J. Coleman and designer Ella Laytham have done absolutely gorgeous work on these and I couldn’t be happier.
Basically, these editions are the equivalent of “The Director’s Cut” in movies, since we are including all the novellas and putting them in chronological order for you. I hope you’ll enjoy them, get a full set for yourself and your buddies, maybe another full set for your dog, and sort of quiver and hum happily whenever you see them on your shelf.
Thanks so much for reading and please give your doggies a belly rub for me. May harmony (and sausage) find you.
