OT: The Lebo Coven
« on: September 23, 2003, 11:37:05 PM »
I've just received a contract for my novel, The Lebo Coven, from Five-Star Books. It'll be a hardback release. The publisher specializes in books for libraries -- for you librarians out there ;) -- but it'll be available from all online dealers, such as on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, etc., most major retail chains, and by order from any bookstore. But it's still a long ways off -- could be as much as a year. But anyway, it's going to be a book.

As with most of my novels, there are subtle tributes to DS here and there. If you enjoyed Dreams of the Dark, and/or The Labyrinth of Souls, it's in a comparable vein, with touches of the supernatural and perhaps a dash of romance, though it's a southern gothic -- as opposed to a New England gothic. ;)

Thanks for the kind words. I'm finishing up some edits on THE LEBO COVEN tonight and getting it out to the publisher tomorrow. Then I get to sit and wait... and wait... and wait.

On a related note, I just had a neat little publication come out -- it's a small, hardbound volume featuring my novelette "Epiphany: A Flying Tiger's Story," which is part of a series called Dark Homage from Delirium Books. It's a signed and limited edition of only 100 copies, geared specifically toward collectors. Dark Homage is a six-book set by six authors (my book is the first in the set) that sells for the ungodly price of $300. And they're friggin sold out already! Who'da thunk it?

Anyway, here's a link to the site if anyone wants to at least look at the cover. ;)
