TWO SERPENTS RISE is Out Today!

As of today, TWO SERPENTS RISE, my next novel, is available wherever books are sold.  I’m a bit overwhelmed.

I spoke with Alyssa Rosenberg of ThinkProgress about the book, magical economics, the Craft Sequence, and other insanity—the interview ended up being really great, and you should check it out!

I also dropped by SF Signal to write about how “You got your fantasy in my science fiction!” and vice versa.

Books, Bones, and Buffy came out with a great early review of the book, which I’ll stick up on the wall with PW’s Starred Review, the review where Locus compares me to Tolkien, and the bit where the RT called it a “stellar, engaging read.”  Because this process is scary, y’all, and it helps to be reminded that some folks think I’m getting it right.

So why wait? Buy the book today on Amazon, IndieBound, Barnes and Noble, or Powell’s, depending on your personal preference.  And if you want a bit of a teaser, I assembled this TWO SERPENTS RISE TEASER TRAILER SCRIPT, which if you read it should give you a decent movie trailer’s worth of an idea what you’re in for.

Thanks so much, everyone.  Happy reading!

Three Parts Dead Release!

Three Parts Dead is now in the wild.  Off to school.  I know that at least one person read it on the way to work this morning—because he texted me to tell me so.  The next few weeks will be a haze of travel, signings, and promotion.  For the moment, I’m trying to remember to breathe.

If you’re waiting patiently for the mailman, or staring at your Kindle waiting for a download, consider the following short reads:

And if you haven’t bought the book yet, what’s keeping you?  Buy it from your local store, or from any of these fine retailers: (Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Booksamillion, IndieBound, Powells).

More to come throughout the day!

Six Days Until Three Parts Dead!

Three Parts Dead goes live on October 2!  At least one pre-orderer has already received it from his bookstore.  Those of you who pre-ordered from brick and mortar stores might well have a surprise in the next couple days.

As for me, I’m feeling the good version of this Johnny Cash song:

I’m incredibly excited, which presents new challenges to focus.  Jazz helps.  Coffee doesn’t, but when have you known  a writer willing to give up coffee?  For non-religious reasons, I mean.

(Interesting note: there’s a word in Chinese for giving something as part of a religious or personal vow – jie4.  This is a good verb to know if you’re a vegetarian traveling on the mainland–a phrase like “I don’t eat meat” wo3 bu4 chi1 rou4 doesn’t carry the same weight, or hasn’t in my experience, partly because sometimes people don’t think the word rou4 includes less obviously meaty substances like chicken stock, and partly because the sentence “I don’t eat meat” doesn’t carry a weight of finality.  You could just mean “I won’t eat meat on this occasion.”  The vow tells people you mean business. [Apologies for the pinyin – I need to fix wordpress to support chinese characters again.])

But anyway.  There’s still time to pre-order the book, and to get the word out.  And if you’re in the Boston area, and can make it, I’d love to see you at one of my two signings next week: at Harvard Book Store on October 3, and Pandemonium on October 4.  For more information, and links, see the events page.
