Special promos and stuff

Gadzooks, a bunch o’ stuff is happening! I’ve mentioned a lot of this stuff separately somewhere in the land o’ social media, but I figured I should collect it all in one post. Here we go:

1) For a limited time, the eBook of HOUNDED is only $2.99 in the USA! If you’ve been wanting to get some friends or family hooked on IDC so you can trade Oberon quotes with them, here’s your chance! Kindle, Nook, whatever…it’s $2.99 until May 3!

2) My next big public thingie is Phoenix Comicon May 23-26. Incredible lineup of authors and other famous peeps there. But kind of blown away that there will be a hardcover, con-only special edition of UNFETTERED available, featuring stories by Terry Brooks, Brandon Sanderson, Peter Orullian, and myself. Only 250 copies will be printed, and we’ll all be there at the con—in fact, there will be an UNFETTERED panel!—so you could have a signed, turbo-rare edition if you want. Ain’t gonna lie: I WANT.

3) I don’t consider myself a guru of writing wisdom or anything—if I was a genius, I would have figured stuff out a lot sooner than I did. But I said a few things on Twitter yesterday in an effort to render what assistance I can. I collected it on Storify and if you’re an aspiring writer I hope it helps! Speaking of Storify, I really dig it. I’ll be collecting more Twitter conversations, blog posts and the like there, so if you’d like to give me a follow you won’t miss any of my shenanigans. You can go through and check out past Stories too.

4) If you want to say hi and get a signed copy of HUNTED this summer, there are OODLES of ways to do that. First, check out my tour dates—I’m visiting California, Portland, Seattle, and a couple o’ places in Colorado and would love to see you! If you’re not nearby one of those places, however, you still have options! First is a special early release shindig on Sunday, June 23, at 5 pm at Nando’s Mexican Cafe in Mesa. No reservation needed—just show up! $15 gets you a book and a drink and we’ll hang out. Extra copies for friends are $8.50. If you’re on the east coast or out of the country, you can preorder a signed copy from The Poisoned Pen by giving them a call or using their website. I will sign all preordered copies before I take off for the tour, and they’ll ship it to you wherever you are, military addresses included!

5) There are still ten tickets left for Atticus & Oberon’s Elevator Ride! It’s a Taco Hootenanny in Encinitas, CA at the end of July with me and new sci-fi genius Jason Hough. You’ll get signed copies of both our books, a pint glass, lots o’ food and lots of love when you hang out with us!

6) If you missed it, I have an Iron Druid novella coming out May 7 called GRIMOIRE OF THE LAMB. Atticus & Oberon go to Egypt! FUN!

In writing news, I’m about halfway through the first draft of book seven, SHATTERED, and hope to have it finished before I go on tour for HUNTED. We’ll see!
