Old Gnomes and More!

Today, friends, you can snag A Plague of Giants in paperback, if case you were waiting for that. And the ebook price has come down as well from its previous premium, so if you haven’t tried out my epic fantasy yet, I hope you’ll take this opportunity to dive into The Seven Kennings trilogy. I’m turbo grateful to those of you who have already given it a shot and sent me kind words about it, and I’m spending the back half of this year working on book two.

In less than a month, I’ll be doing a wee tour with co-author Delilah S. Dawson for Kill the Farm Boy, our humorous fantasy that pokes fun at Chosen One narratives and more. We hope to see you on that tour, of course, but understand if you can’t make it. You can still order double-signed copies from any of the stores listed below or Barnes & Noble or Worldbuilders Market. Here’s where to find us:
July 17: The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ, 7 pm
July 21: Upstart Crow Trading in San Diego, CA, at 10 am, with NYT bestseller Victoria Schwab
July 23: Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville, IL, at 7 pm, with audiobook narrator Luke Daniels
July 24: Malaprop’s Bookstore in Asheville, NC, at 6 pm
July 25: Fox Tale Book Shoppe in Woodstock, GA at 6:30 pm
We will of course also sign any of our other books on tour!

If you preorder Kill the Farm Boy in the US you can enjoy this spiffy giveaway from the publisher where they send you some goat buttons and yeah, you’ll want the buttons once you read it.

And whoa dang, the second book in the Tales of Pell, No Country for Old Gnomes, now has a cover! Are you ready for gryphons? Gnomes that come in both regular and goth? Sinister halflings? Kobold bards and carnivorous mermaids? Beard magic? You’re going to love this book. And we are so thrilled with the cover art!
