Runner - Coming February 18, 2014

My next book, Runner, the first of a new series, hits the stands in hardcover next February.  The series will focus on a man named Sam Dryden.  In this first book, Dryden finds himself trying to save the life of a young girl named Rachel, who can't remember her past but who has some very dangerous people after her.  She also has an ability that should be impossible, and a secret somewhere in her blocked memory that could change the world.

Sometime within the next week or two, I'm hoping to have a link to the first three chapters of the book.  Please stay tuned!

Very Cool News

A lot of cool things happening in a short time.  This article at Deadline.com says it all!

I'll add more information down the road, as things develop with the new book, which should be coming out in early 2014.  It's the first of a series featuring Sam Dryden, a character who'll be sticking around through several books. I'll post any news about the movie here too, as things take shape.

Blog Comments I Didn't Know About Until Just Now

.
Hey everyone. Looking at the settings in Blogger just now, I found a "spam folder" for comments; I didn't know this existed until now, but for a long time it's been blocking certain comments without my even seeing them. Most of these were not spam. Needless to say I posted them right away. Apologies to anyone who thought I was screening them out for some random reason; I definitely wouldn't have done that.

Official Launch Date for Book 3

.
The third (and final) book of the Breach series, titled Deep Sky, will be in stores on Tuesday, December 27 of this year.

The book takes place a little over a year after the events of Ghost Country, and deals with one of Tangent's strangest secrets: a fact about the Breach that not even Paige Campbell has been aware of until now. Travis and Paige dig into this secret and quickly realize it may hold the answers to every question they've ever asked about the Breach.

Congratulations Steve Ulfelder!

Among the many great things about publishing, there's the fact that you sometimes get an early look at a very cool novel. Case in point: Steve Ulfelder's debut, Purgatory Chasm, hitting the stands tomorrow. I think this guy is going to be around for a while.

Whoever the hell is pretending to be me, in Houston--

.
--this would be a good time to stop.

I've gotten e-mails from multiple people in the past few days about a guy in Houston passing himself off as me. He apparently goes so far as to tell them the author photo inside the back covers of my books is a picture of a model. Well gee, maybe I should be flattered. I'm not.

Whoever this person is, he'd be well-advised to knock it off. If it continues, this will become a matter for law enforcement to deal with.
