The Hits Keep on Coming

The paperback of The Painted Man continues to sell up a storm in the UK, still kicking ass on the Amazon bestseller list as it enters into its THIRD printing.

Meanwhile, the German translation, Das Lied der Dunkelheit, has sold tens of thousands of copies in the three months its been out, surpassing any other market, and is entering into a second printing.

In other news, I should be handing in the final draft of The Desert Spear next month, and am almost done with the page proofs for The Great Bazaar.

Oh, and there’s this: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ide843f7bf07c511f72af7f1bfe79a0a8

Ahem.

You Know What You Need To Do

great_bazaar_cover_webSF Signal is having a Book Cover Smackdown between The Great Bazaar (with its awesome Lauren Cannon cover) and some other books whose covers aren’t nearly as good. For some bizarre reason, though, voting seems to be going against us.

If you’ve got a minute to spare, head on over and let them know why the Great Bazaar cover rocks the Casbah, and the others lag behind.

Warded Nation, unite!

For more comments on the GB cover, you can check out Aidan Moher’s blog A Dribble of Ink, and Mark Chitty’s blog, Walker of Worlds.

The Great Bazaar is available for pre-order at Subterranean Press.
