I am very pleased to announce that Cannon Publishing has accepted for publication A Cold And Mortal Spring, a novel I started long ago. You can read the blurb and preorder it HERE. This is my dark, guns-and-sorcery epic. I expect it to run for four or five books. I took a real chance with this one. You see, for thirty years I’ve read David Weber, the author of, among other things, the Honor Harrington series. I fell in love with Honor Harrington. I named my CAT Honor. I don’t know David particularly well, though we have spoken at conventions.

I asked David Weber to read this book, in hopes he would blurb it. I expected he would tell me he was too busy.

A month ago, he wrote me back. He said, “[T]his is the first new book I’ve read in a long time that I really, really didn’t want to stop reading and that kept pulling me along to find out what was going to happen.”

That’s how I felt about all his books, too. I made David Weber say that. About this book.

I really don’t think I can add any more to that. EXCEPT OF COURSE THIS MASSIVE PREORDER BUTTON FROM AMAZON. PRESS IT NOW FOR AWESOME BLACK POWDER/MAGIC ADVENTURE!
