why does the cover show a Colt revolving rifle when he bases his rifle off the Sharps Carbine?

M.C. Planck Artistic license? :D

First, props for noticing that. Second, minor spoiler alert...the Colt actually shows up in the next book. But we wanted the cover…moreArtistic license? :D

First, props for noticing that. Second, minor spoiler alert...the Colt actually shows up in the next book. But we wanted the cover to not be a classic fantasy while also not confusing anyone looking for a Western (hence the funky combination of helmet and armor). And as far as I know, no one else has used that gun on a cover. So it was a way to stand out without deviating too far from the story. I believe the cover of each book will show a different character, so Christopher won't actually get another chance to show off that wild weapon. (I am rooting for Lalania on the 2nd; anybody with me?)

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to work out why there is no katana on the cover. :)(less)

any chance of audio books?

M.C. Planck Sadly, I don't think so. Audible bought the rights to my SF novel The Kassa Gambit, and they took such a bath on it I don't think anyone will touch this series.

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)

M.C. Planck She is the same woman who was working with the mummers that came to steal his sword; she is also the fencer that attacked him and Karl on the road. Or…moreShe is the same woman who was working with the mummers that came to steal his sword; she is also the fencer that attacked him and Karl on the road. Originally she just wanted to rob him, but every time he foils her, she doubles down on getting revenge.

Spoiler alert: look for her to make another appearance in the next book. :D(less)
