Ahem...

It's time for the annual Cyber Monday Signed Book Sale! As in previous years, some author friends and I have gotten together to offer holiday prices on signed books directly from our websites. This means you can get signed books at a discount, and also send a little more money toward your favorite authors during this holiday season.

This year, the participants are Bradley Beaulieu, Brent Weeks, Jason Hough, Micheal Sullivan. Check out their sales!

As for my own books, here's what I have for sale this year:

The hardcover for the latest Powder Mage novella is now available! You can pick it up direct from my website store. It will, of course, come signed and dated. If you're just looking for the ebook, all the usual links are here.

Siege of Tilpur

People have been asking me for quite a while where they can get their hands on Siege of Tilpur, a Powder Mage story that has previously only been published in the UNBOUND Anthology. Well here's a little surprise for you: get it free, now! More details below.

Siege of Tilpur will be free for the next couple of weeks, after which you can pick it up on the usual channels for $2.99. It's a short story of about 11K words that takes place decades before Promise of Blood and follows one of Tamas's adventures during the Gurlish Wars while he was just a sergeant.

For those curious about my website store: you don't have to input any credit card info to pick up the free item (and you can enter a fake address if you want). I do it this way so that people have the chance to opt-in to my newsletter, which feels like a pretty good deal for a free short story. Hope you all enjoy!

Wrath of Empire Cover!

I've been getting a lot of questions about book two lately, and I can finally give you all a bit more of an official answer! I'm pleased to announce that Wrath of Empire will be in stores on March 6th, 2018. Here is the cover copy, pre-order links, and finally the damned awesome cover!

The country is in turmoil. With the capital city occupied, half a million refugees are on the march, looking for safety on the frontier, accompanied by Lady Flint's soldiers. But escaping war is never easy, and soon the battle may find them, whether they are prepared or not.

Back in the capital, Michel Bravis smuggles even more refugees out of the city. But internal forces are working against him. With enemies on all sides, Michael may be forced to find help with the very occupiers he's trying to undermine.

Meanwhile, Ben Styke is building his own army. He and his mad lancers are gathering every able body they can find and searching for an ancient artifact that may have the power to turn the tides of war in their favor. But what they find may not be what they're looking for.
