Knot of Shadows now on pre-order at SubPress

The signed limited hardbound of "Knot of Shadows", the 11th Penric & Desdemona story (e-published last fall) is now up for pre-orders at Subterranean Press. Publication scheduled for Jan. 31, 2023.

Cover art again by the excellent Laurent Saint-Onge:



(At 30k words, it's something of a slim vol. SubPress used to have a two-tier pricing system, with a less expensive trade (regular) hardback volume, and a more expensive signed leatherbound, but Covid in 2020 and onward knocked out their library sales in trade, and they retrenched to signed-limited only with somewhat larger runs.)

Peggy B Will you be publishing another collection of the 3 P&D novellas? If so, when? And love this artist’s work.

At the moment, I don't have 3 more novellas. (Though I do have one novel and a novella, which would be about the same word count.) In any case, SubPress has a one-year exclusive term of license (very short by publishing standards) and that would have to run its course before doing anything else with the material. Which would be January 2024 at the earliest, and that's if I don't emit something more in between that would change the calculation.

So, nothing planned, nothing ruled out.

Softness The hardcover art on your Penric stories are amazing! I need them all! :)

Peggy B So, hardcopy of Knot is ordered. I looked at Assassins, but it is sold out even through the run was flawed. I am pretty sure I own every one of your novels you have out in hardback back to The Vor Game put out by the Science Fiction Book Club. I know I own every thing of yours in some form or fashion. Any chance of getting Assassins in hardback?

The whole print run wasn't flawed, just a bit of it. Fortunately.

See my comment above for future hardcover... not plans yet, but possibilities. Some depends on how well Penric's Labors sells, or doesn't.

Oh, and Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore here in Minneapolis still has the SubPress Assassins in stock, and does mail order. Dreamhaven Books may also still have some.

Peggy B Done! Thank you. FYI - already pre-ordered Labors.

Conniption Virtue Ran into a news article about two months ago about a woman who was gifted a wheel of cheese by a man she met on a first date.
I printed it out and taped it inside my copy of Penric's Demon.
