Oooh! Is that another cover? Yes it is! According to bookseller website Libri.de, it looks like my German publisher, Heyne, will be publishing their translation of The Painted Man in May 2009, right on the heels of the UK paperback and the US hardcover.
Once again, all I have is a tiny thumbnail of the cover, [...]
Das Lied der Dunkelheit
Link Love
Google alerts (and my own obsessive hunt for reviews) has once again provided me with a plethora of links to share with everyone.
First up, my first Polish review is up on a website called CLICK!. You can read a (poorly google) translated version here. It’s an interesting review which compares me to a Polish fantasy [...]
Pole Position
Fabryka Slow, my Polish publisher, is launching Malowany Czlowiek, AKA The Painted Man, this Friday, November 28.
As if I didn’t have enough things to be thankful for this year.
It’s a little weird, having the book come out all over the world, in foreign languages even, while I am still waiting for it to come out [...]
Division 18
About a year ago (jeez, has it been that long, already?), I did a post about Division 18, the Union of Costumed Novelty Performers, which is something near and dear to my heart, as I was there at its inception, and have taken great joy watching it grow and mutate over the years into far [...]
Desert Spear UK Cover Art
You may have seen my post a while ago about the mock-up for the cover of The Desert Spear, which is the sequel to The Painted Man. I showed the production rough that was being sent to artist extraordinaire Larry Rostant, who did the first cover, who then hired a model and did the actual [...]
The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of 2008
The Painted Man has had some hard days. In addition to having a Creator who is abominably slow at writing and painstakingly anal about revisions, he’s lived a life plauged with demons, both inside and out. He’s given up a lot in his never-ending battle against the corelings, so it’s nice sometimes when the universe [...]

Sign up on Library Thing to request a free copy! All you have to do is promise to write a review. They have 50 copies to give [...]
And Now For Something Completely Different…
This post is about Christina Aguilera.
No, seriously. I just saw her new video and I want to talk about it.
My friends are always shocked when they find out I like Christina Aguilera. Certainly any of my high school friends who only remember me as long-haired Heavy Metal Peat reading this are about to [...]
Tattooed Samurai
My morning google alert has informed me that the second volume of the Japanese translation of The Painted Man is going on sale November 21!
Because Japanese writing takes up more space than English, it is common to split a long novel into smaller parts in the Japanese market. The Painted Man, for example, has been [...]
Free Realms Plug
Think it’s weird that I’ve made no posts for a week and then do two back to back? Suck it. That’s how we Bretts roll. Just ask Cassie:
So anyway, I get home from WFC, exhausted from 15 hours of travel, and find an e-mail in my inbox from John Smedley. In case you don’t know, [...]
