For many years, with each new book release, Brian and I have traveled around the country from bookstore to bookstore to sign copies for fans. With the release of MENTATS OF DUNE (did you get your copy?). we decided to try something different.

Brian and I—either in collaboration or individually—have four major hardcover releases from Tor Books in the next six months. And I have a couple of other newsworthy publications in that timeframe. We wanted to leverage all that excitement and energy. MENTATS OF DUNE is out in March, as is the first issue of CLOCKWORK ANGELS: The Graphic Novel from BOOM! Studios. THE DRAGON BUSINESS is out in April, along with the ECW trade paperback of CLOCKWORK ANGELS: The Novel and their reissue of my first novel RESURRECTION, INC. In June there’s the first book in the Saga of Shadows, THE DARK BETWEEN THE STARS, in July Brian’s ec0-thriller THE LITTLE GREEN BOOK OF CHAIRMAN RAHMA comes out in hardcover, in August HELLHOLE INFERNO is released, and in September is the fourth Dan Shamble novel, SLIMY UNDERBELLY.  Yes, plenty of books to show off!

So I will be appearing at a marathon of major pop-culture expos over the next six months, beginning with Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle March 28-30 for the official debut of MENTATS OF DUNE as well as the launch of BOOM!’s Clockwork Angels comic.  This will be the only appearance where Brian Herbert and I are together to sign MENTATS. Afterward, he’ll be giving me a suitcase full of signed bookplates to give to fans at all my other shows! At Emerald City, BOOM! will also have a special **Emerald City Only** variant cover for the first issue of Clockwork Angels.

Next up, after several days in Hollywood for the Writers of the Future workshop and awards ceremonies, I’ll be at FanX in Salt Lake City from April 17-19, then Dallas Comic Con May 16–18 and ComicPalooza in Houston May 23-25.  I’ll be teaching at a Writer’s Conference in Crested Butte, Colorado (ahhh, my beautiful mountains!), and then the following week I’ll be at Denver Comic Con (June 13–15), RushCon in Toronto  August 22-24, DragonCon in Atlanta August 28-September 1, and Salt Lake City Comic Con.

These are some of the books coming out from now until September—
