I’ve been getting a lot of queries from Rush fans outside of the US about how they can get their copies of the CLOCKWORK ANGELS: The Novel preview booklet. I know it’s a challenge for some of you to get US stamps to put on the return envelope—if it’s easier, you can just clip US [...]

Shortly after we sold the hardcover novel of Clockwork Angels to ECW Press (for a lavish full-color edition with illustrations by Hugh Syme), I was contacted by the editor at Brilliance Audio, who had produced the unabridged audios of many of my [...]

This year, we’re ready to dive back into the Dune universe with MENTATS OF DUNE, the follow-up to SISTERHOOD OF DUNE. Brian [...]

This week at the Book Expo America, I had a lunch meeting with my publicity team from Kensington Books to go over all the plans for Death Warmed Over. I got to the restaurant a little early, took a seat at the table, checked my email on the phone. Just as my friends walked through [...]

A freelance photographer working for Billboard Magazine dropped by my signing yesterday at the ECW booth and took these photos. A great crowd, lots of excitement for the book…and now the Rush album comes out in less than a week. If you did not get one of the free sampler booklets, I’m doing another signing [...]

At the Book Expo America, I spent lunch yesterday at a “blogger lunch” which was like speed dating for authors. I sat at a table with 7-8 bloggers and had fifteen minutes to talk about CLOCKWORK ANGELS: The Novel and DEATH WARMED OVER. Then the MC told the authors to switch to a new table, [...]
