Dark Road Rising
.
.It's been a long and winding road, so to speak, but I have in my hands the contract from Ace for the next Jack Fleming novel, Dark Road Rising, courtesy of my completely amazing agent, Lucienne Diver of the Knight Literary Agency. Please do check her blog as it's really, really Teh Cool--which is quite a feat since she lives in a baking hot state that is not Texas.
There you will find, in case you missed it, the cover of Rachel Caine's forthcoming Weather Wardens book, Gale Force and an interview with Marjorie M. Liu. You'll recall that Marjorie has a wonderful story in BFSHoneymoon and some great novels for your reading pleasure.
Cruise over to Rachel's blog, because she has an awesome drawing going on concerning the release of Gale Force.
Dang, maybe if I pimped my own books as much as I do others my sales might go up! ;>D
Back to the contract--don't expect the book to be out next month, 'cause that's just not gonna happen. Maybe a year from now if we're REALLY lucky. The good part is the book is finished, and I delivered a final draft copy. Next time I see the MS will be after the editor's put in her stuff, and after that I see galleys--which is a stack of photocopies of the typeset pages. I go over that for typos & such, turn it in, then they make a book and send it to the stores.
In big time publishing this takes awhile to do, but it's worth it. Nothing quite matches walking into a B&N and seeing my book on the shelf. That NEVER GETS OLD, trust me.

Breaking News: Lead singer of My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way is calling Umbrella Academy his debut comic. BUT, we dug up a comic he published way back when he was in high school called "On Raven's Wings". Mark Millar and John Romita take on real life people getting into superhero suits in Kick-Ass #1. This "real life" superhero even has a MySpace profile. Is this a gimmick or is it a book worth picking up? Find out in this review. Is Thor #6 the Thor we've been waiting for? It's still early on in this series, but we think this book has finally arrived with this issue. Then Captain America #35, continues the great story arc with Bucky as the new...
