Der große Basar
German readers, may I announce Der große Basar, my expanded collection of short stories set in the demon world! It will publish May 1, 2010, just a month after Das Flustern der Nacht. It will include the two Arlen novellettes, The Great Bazaar and Brayan’s Gold, as well as deleted scenes from Das Lied der Dunkelheit and other goodies.
Check out the amazing cover:
Desert Spear ARC Contest
So. I spoke to Random House, and they are sending me “some” ARCs of The Desert Spear to give away. My precious, precious Desert Spear. Finally. After slaving over this story electronically for three years, words fail me when I try to describe how wonderful it is to finally hold a bound book. Somehow, it’s not real until then. I literally hugged my copy and did a little dance.
All I will say about The Desert Spear is that I am immensely proud of it. I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. No on in the world is more impatient than me for it to go on sale, and I’m really excited to have the chance to share a few copies early.
That’s right. It’s time for another contest.
I know some readers felt a little left out of the Fan Art Contest, so for this prize, so dear to my heart, I want to be as inclusive as possible. There’s a contest I’ve been saving for just this occasion. It’s really simple. All you need is an e-mail account, a copy of one of my books (any edition/language is fine), and a camera.
The Rules:
- Take a picture of yourself or a loved one (or even an enemy, I don’t care) holding one of my books.
- E-mail the picture to me at peat@www.petervbrett.com (Please include a full mailing address with all entries. I promise not to share any information online except your first name and country of origin.)
- That’s it.
Extra points will be added for creativity, exotic background, general awesomeness, etc. So if you’re traveling somewhere awesome over the holidays, you might want to consider photo ops.
More details as I have them…
Toronto Update
Check out Matt’s Blog about our Toronto trip. It is WAY better than mine was.
Awwwww Yeah!
It’s been a crappy day. Our health insurance got canceled because of a glitch in billing, and the company refused to reinstate it for nine months. This pretty much ruined my day, and made it really hard to concentrate on work. On top of that, I discovered my pregnant sister was rushed to the hospital for a battery of tests after some wonky result at her OB office (she and the baby are fine, I just learned).
So I was feeling pretty shitty when I dragged myself back home at 5 to spend a couple of hours with my ladies before they went to bed. I noticed a box sitting on the bed and opened it.
Suddenly the day got a whole lot better:
That’s right people, Desert Spear advance read copies are in! Now none of you can doubt that the damn thing is done, and soon no reviewer will be able to deny that it is AWESOME.
That is all for now.
