Hey everyone! Hope your holidays are going well.

A fan recently pointed out that Peat’s name has made it to yet another list. Shawn Speakman from Unbound Worlds listed The Warded Man is a must-read for anyone interested in Epic Fantasy.

This is a nifty article that discusses what exactly makes an ‘Epic Fantasy’ and gives a taste of the history behind it. You can read the whole thing at their official site.

These are the books I recommend people start with if they want a truly epic reading experience.

Thanks so much to Shawn for the recommendation! And I’d like to give a big ol’ shoutout Berenice for bringing the article to our attention.

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all having an awesome time during the holidays.

There’s a lot of stress during this time of year, but there’s a lot to be grateful for too. That’s why, for just a moment, I’d like to pull back the curtains and thank some of the people who work behind the scenes to make The Demon Cycle succeed. Here we go!

First up is JABberwocky— Peat’s literary agency. These guys are seriously awesome. In addition to actually pitching The Warded Man in its infancy, they also manage the rights to Peat’s foreign editions. You won’t believe how much time and effort they put into their work. Plus they’ve covered my butt on a few fan-questions about ongoing translations, so I’m personally grateful to them:

We also want to give a shoutout to Del Rey, Harper Voyager, and all the other wonderful Publishers that put The Demon Cycle into the world (Way too many to list here. You can check out a full list under Contacts.). This also includes the lovely people at Graphic Audio for breathing life into words.

Just a few more on the long, long list of people include the lovely people at Badali Jewelry who helped to created the official Demon Cycle Jewelry line. They’re currently having a sale select pieces of Demon Cycle merch, so you should definitely check that out!

Larry Rostant is the mastermind genius created the covers to the English versions of The Demon Cycle. He’s currently working on The Core and, spoiler alert: It’s going to be AWESOME.

Finally, we’d like to thank you. We’ve gotten so much fanmail and art this year, it’s truly humbling. Without you picking up the Demon Cycle, it would just be collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. It’s because of readers that we’ve managed to come this far and have high hopes for the future. Like I always say– Demon Cycle fans are the best fans. Thank you.

Sorry, that got a little emotional there. For those who made it past the sappiness to the end of this post, here’s some info:

The official US release date for The Core is August 15, 2017!

You can read the first chapter of The Core here!

If you haven’t read Peat’s Holiday In Tibbet’s Brook story from a few years ago, you can check it out here!

Happy Holidays!!

Hey everyone! Remember yesterday’s post about that awesome fan-made signet ring? If you like it, you should definitely check out Peat’s officially licensed jewelry from Badali.

Badali is awesome. Not only are they great to work with, they also make some of the coolest, most badass jewelry I’ve ever seen. Right now, they’re lowering prices on select items for the holidays. That means if you’re looking for a last-last minute gift (or really early ones for next year), you can get them!

Mind and rock ward medallions as well as the Impact Ring are all on sale:

You can check out the rest of Badali’s Demon Cycle swag here.

Hey everyone! A couple weeks ago, one of Peat’s UK fans sent in pictures of their latest Demon Cycle related project.

Turns out Richard is a wiz at making jewelry. Check it out his take on a badass warded ring. It’s fashionable, not to mention the best way of punching demons in the face:

Thank you for writing the Demon Cycle set of books… Other than reading, my major hobby is making jewellery. Normally I would set stones in sterling silver, but I took inspiration from your stories and etched wards into a signet ring. I hope you like the results

Thanks so much for sending this in, Richard! The crafting on this really is amazing. If you want to make your own one-offs of Demon Cycle inspired jewelry, feel free. Just don’t forget to send us pictures!

You can also buy the officially-licensed Demon Cycle Jewelry from Badali. These pieces are amazing. Plus, if you head to their site right now, impact ward rings are on sale (along with mind and rock ward medallions)!
