Weekend Round-Up

These are the things I would've told you, if I hadn't been on the road while they accumulated.

First up, the Dreadnought news. Why? Because I seem to be in the strange position of having released a sequel while people are still picking up/reading/reviewing the first book with a downright shocking degree of momentum. Don't get me wrong, that's great! But for some reason, I've been getting emails from excited readers asking when/if there will be a sequel to Boneshaker … and the answer, of course, is HELL YES.

It is an alternate-history battlefield adventure about a widowed nurse from a Confederate hospital aboard a west-bound train pulled by a Union war engine — now with military intrigue, steampunk Texas rangers, undead Mexican separatists, murderous plots, bushwhackers, bandits, sabotage, and epic scenes of mayhem.

If you knew this already, and are like, "DUH, CHERIE. In fact, I have already read this book SO THERE," then feel free to skim the next bit. If, on the other hand, you're more from the planet of, "HOLY COW this is NEWS TO ME," then here. Let me direct you accordingly.

Got it? Great. And I apologize for my redundancies, but this is an Official Writer-Type Business-y Blog as well as The Place Where Cherie Drunkenly Posts Silly Pictures of Her Cat. Therefore, since I am On A Roll, so to speak, I will go ahead and add this review of Dreadnought courtesy of the blog Society of Burned Lives. Many thanks to that fine page.


And I will furthermore note that I am tickled pink (and mightily relieved) to see that Dreadnought is picking up good Amazon.com reviews. Thanks so much to those of you who take the time to post your thoughts. Other people read those thoughts, you know. Other people decide whether or not to buy books based on those thoughts, sometimes. So in short, you pretty much rock all over the place.

In other news, because as mentioned above my bone-shaking book is still trucking right along … it's official: Boneshaker has been nominated for one for one of the first-ever Steamcon Airship Awards. So hot damn! I'm up against some pretty stellar company, and it'd be an honor to lose to anyone on that list — which in no way makes me less excited about it.
