FayTown Calling Cover Reveal
My cover artist just completed the FayTown Calling cover. That doesn’t meant the book is out yet, but now I have a big incentive to get going with it.
New Sorcerer Rising Cover
Earlier this year I commissioned a new book cover for Sorcerer Rising, as well as one for FayTown Calling. This is part of an effort to brand my Virgil McDane books, to make them run together. Karri Klawiter is the artist and she’s done a fantastic job. Gotta say, I never realized how bad mine looked until I saw this. Just can’t get over how good it looks. It’ll be up on the retail sites soon enough, with a paperback finally coming out the end of the week. I will have a reveal for FayTown Calling toward the end of the week. That…doesn’t exactly mean the book will be coming out then, but seeing the cover has goaded me into a new pace.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Part of the reason I wanted to have a blog was so I could go nuts when I have moments like these.

So believe me when I say I am surprised, not only to say it is great, but is also my favorite Marvel movie next to the Avengers. It topped Thor, the Hulk movies, even Iron Man. And in comparison to…
Broker of the Damned
I am happy to announce a new short story, Broker of the Damned. This story gives the first real glimpse into the world of the Coven, and shows what role Witches serve in Virgil’s world. Blurb is below. The United States Magistrate is the organization that all mages fear. For hundreds of years, their Witches have hunted rogue Sorcerers and wild Wizards, binding those that would endanger others with their power. Now, a Necromancer is loose in Mare City, selling his dark arts to the highest bidder. Deputy Magistrate Matthias Ewing is on the case and must find out who this dark mage is and bring him to justice.
