It’s hard to believe, but it’s almost Halloween again. And
that means only one thing: the release of the third book for The Sanheim Chronicles. I’m pleased to
show off the cover for the book, which is once again the work of the very
talented Travis Pennington. After you’ve checked out the cover, stick around
for a brief non-spoiler FAQ on what you can expect from the book, as well as details
on a contest to win an early copy of the book plus a $15 Amazon gift card.
Q: So what’s the new
book called?
A: Give the Devil His
Due.
Q: Wait, doesn’t that
violate your legal agreement with the
Charlie Daniels Band?
A: Yeah, about that… I posted a blog on April 1, 2013, in
which I claimed I had settled with the Charlie Daniels Band after it had sued
me. But it was an April Fool’s Day joke. Some people got it, but many did not,
I suspect because they read it well after the date on which it was posted. So,
to be clear, the Charlie Daniels Band has never sued me, nor do I expect it to.
I do appreciate the folks who wrote to tell me they were angry with Charlie
Daniels on my behalf. It’s nice to know people support me and I feel like a bit
of a jerk for tricking anyone.
Q: When will Give the Devil His Due be published?
A: On Oct. 1, 2013, for Amazon and Nook. Typically Nook is a
day or so behind Amazon so it might be more like Oct. 2. I will post updates on
www.facebook.com/asoultosteal
when the different versions are released.
Q: When will the
print edition be out?
A: I’m hoping to put that out in October as well, but please
view that as a best-case scenario. The print edition requires reformatting the
book, which can be time-consuming.
Q: Can I buy a signed
edition?
A: Yes! Just contact me on my Facebook page and I can send
you one. It costs $15 (including shipping and tax), which is the same price as
buying the print edition from Amazon. But this one is signed!
Q: What’s this book
about?
A: It picks up several months after the end of Band of
Demons. If you haven’t read
that book, you really should do so before picking up Give the Devil His Due.
Q: Wait, that’s it?
That’s all you’ll say?
A: I hate spoilers and ruining the experience for a reader,
so I’m reluctant to say much. All I will add is that the ending events of Band of Demons have dramatically changed
some characters’ lives – and at least one of them is not handling the situation
particularly well.
Q: Is this book the last
in The Sanheim Chronicles?
A: Give the Devil His
Due is the conclusion to the trilogy I initially set out to write. It ties
up most of the plot-lines people will want resolved. That said, I’ve created a
mythology that I really enjoy. If there is reader interest, it’s possible I
might write more books in the series. I can opine on this more once the third
book is out, because I’m afraid of saying too much.
Q: Do you have
anything else in the works?
A: Yes! I’ve started preliminary work on my next novel,
which will be out next year. It is not directly connected to The Sanheim Chronicles, but if you
enjoyed that series, I think you will enjoy this as well. It’s a mix of
mystery, myth and the supernatural. I also have a couple of other projects I’m
working on that may or may not come to fruition sometime soon.
Q: How can I make
sure I know when Give the Devil His Due is
released?
A: You can sign-up for my newsletter here: http://bit.ly/RBsubrbe
I only send a newsletter when I actually have something to
say, which is likely to be just a few times a year. I also plan to give out a
free short story to subscribers, though I’m still working on that particular
story.
You can also have Amazon notify you when I release a book by
going to my Amazon author page and clicking “subscribe” in the upper right hand
corner: http://amzn.to/UTFTOl. You can also
“like” the page if you are feeling generous (I have no idea what the point of
those likes are).
To encourage folks to join the newsletter, I’m giving away
an early ebook copy of Give the Devil His
Due as well as a $15 Amazon gift card. All you need to do to join the
contest is to sign up for the newsletter and fill in your details below. Good
luck and I can’t wait to publish Give the
Devil His Due!
