*Pssst*

Don't tell anyone, but my publisher is making me do a signed giveaway of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True:
https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

It's a secret. You shouldn't go enter and then tell all of your friends and enemies. Because that would be the worst decision you've made since lunch.

And you don't make bad decisions...right?

This spy stuff is fascinating. (Just like your mom…oh, snap!)

So delighted to be back in this world...if you're not in on this series, I highly recommend that you change that!

I always forget what an absolute asshat Thomas Edison was.

Starting a new Sam Kean book is one of life's true delights.

It's SFF week on Goodreads, so you know what that means...FREE CRAP.

Want to win a signed copy* of THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON WAS (MOSTLY) TRUE? Just drop the name of your favorite SFF author below (it doesn't even have to be me). I'll pick a winner at random at the end of the week.

*US/Canada readers only, I'm afraid...but, I will happily send a digital copy to you if you're elsewhere in the world!

That Ultron is a real dickface.

Shake-speare...Fall-staff...oh, oh, I get it. Cute.

I guarantee that William Cecil did enough cocaine to kill a brontosaurus daily. There’s no way dude could have had his fingers in so many pies otherwise.

(And for once, that’s not an innuendo; just a colloquial expression for his intense level of activity.)

Takeaway: guys who own hundreds of death masks are real douche bags.

Well, Thomas Edison sure is in for a big surprise...

But, that asshole has it coming.

Entwistle is such a delight.

More Conan Doyle/Wilde shenanigans? Yes, please and thank you. And if you haven't read The Revenant of Thraxton Hall, you need to get on that. It's a delight.

There are some real strong Comic Book Guy vibes going on this Gygax/Arneson feud.

Anytime a Romita draws Spider-Man, it's a great thing. And Roger Stern was a fantastic Spidey scripter.

Someday I shall stop reading books about the creation of Dungeons & Dragons...BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY.

Well, now, that was some awkward tap dancing through the topic of slavery...lots of contextual hemming and hawing. I hope the rest of the book doesn't follow suit...

Dammit, Phillips--now I want to go read Elizabethan history books.

So, the cicadas are humming and it's almost summer. I think we should celebrate by giving away a couple of signed copies of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True.

What do you think? Suggestions for how we determine winners welcome (the wackier, the better).

Food metaphor determined. Now I just need to find time to write the damn review...

It feels so gosh darn good on those rare occasions when Peter catches a break.

It's been far too long since I've read Arthur Phillips.

I was just thinking, "Well, that wrapped up rather quickly and tidily...something else must be about to happen--ah! Ah! Now people are being ravenously consumed. There we go."

Oh, Pendergast...you and your penchant for harassing small-time authority figures.

Um, yeah, so...

What?

Okay, the world has apparently gone mad because The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True is on sale for $2.99 across all ebook platforms (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, etc.).

I have no idea how long that's going to last--nobody tells me anything--so get it while the getting's good, my little digital tartlets.

Print book remains full price...alas. I blame the evils of capitalism. And pork rinds.

Now stuff* is REALLY hitting the fan.

*I'm making this appropriate for all ages. I mean something much stronger than "stuff."

I may have a Spider-Man addiction problem. Please send Doc Ock to slap me around.

I miss Gideon.
