Hey everyone! We’ve got something cool planned for today, but first things first. Let’s go ahead and take care of the You As A Character Warded Wednesday.

The winning entry is:

I think I would like to walk in the shoes of Leesha’s mentor Bruna. She managed to save so many lives while she was alive, almost single handedly keeping Cutters Hollow going. Her work continues after her passing which is amazing, having empowered Leesha to fulfil her destiny, it’s a hell of a legacy to leave behind. Plus she kicks ass! Tiny wee doddery old lady and she has every single person doing exactly as she wishes, really impressive and very cool. -Scott

Congratulations, Scott! We’ll be in touch soon.

Moving right along. We’ve got something extra cool planned for this week. Today and tomorrow we’ll be giving away copies of Myke Cole’s just-released book, JAVELIN RAIN:

We’re giving away books to FIVE lucky individuals. To snag one, just comment on this post. Winners will be chosen by April 1st.

We’ll give away a few more tomorrow too. Yes, you can comment on both posts to increase your chances of winning.

Remember, we can only pick your comment if you respond to our post on the blog. No Twitter or Facebook replies will be counted.

You can get your copy of Gemini Cell here!

Hey everyone! Second stop on Peat’s German tour landed him in Luneburg. The fantastic staff at Lunebuch store was there to meet and greet.

Protip- people who work in bookstores are usually awesome:

Wining and dining before the signing. Check out Peat at his duck-face dinner:

Another great turnout for the event! These fans proved that enthusiasm can overcome language barriers.

And what signing of Peat’s is complete without photos with fans? Pictures were taken in a reader’s natural habitat. Just look at all those beautiful books!

If awesome people and good books weren’t enough to make Peat’s trip a success, Lunebuch was kind enough to provide delicious champagne and chocolate. Now THAT’S how you treat an author.

Thanks so much to everyone who showed up to the signing! Once again, it’s thanks to the fans that Peat was able to come out. Also, a huge shoutout to Lunebuch for hosting this. It was an amazing night and Peat had a great time.

You can get the German translation of Desert Spear (Das Flustern der Nacht) right here!

Hey everyone! Peat is finally back from his German Tour and boy was it a doozy. We’ve got a bunch of recaps lined up, so let’s get started!

First up on this awesome tour of awesomeness was Vienna. Peat visited the Albertine Museum. Monet demons? Water lily demons? Hmm..

After a bit of sightseeing, it was time to head over to Frick bookstore. They had fliers, posters, a display, the whole shebang. There’s nothing better to make an author feel welcome than a great setup.

A short time before the event, everything looked great. The only thing left was for people to start showing up…

Peat had nothing to worry about! There was a great turnout for his first appearance and every was incredibly welcoming.

Peat took a bunch of pictures with his fans, these are just a few. Here’s Bettina and Klaus showing off their radiant smiles:

 Petra and Peat posed for a photo in black and white:

Johannes and Irene came from 300 miles away to attend the signing. Talk about dedication. Like I’ve always said, Demon Cycle fans are the best fans:

                             Nadya surprised Peat with an in-person gift of fanart:

Absolutely gorgeous:

Thanks to everybody who came to Frick! It’s always a challenge arranging events overseas, but you guys make it all worthwhile. All in all, this was the perfect start to his tour.
