Blackbirds Is A Kindle Deal, SDCC, And More

blackbirds_halfcover

Blackbirds is now a Kindle deal. Not just for today, but, in fact, for the month of July. It’s $1.99 right now, in fact. If you love me, you’ll tell people. If you hate me, you will rage-stitch a sampler of my face, fling it into the nearest urinal, and micturate angrily upon it. Which is your call. Your destiny is yours, pal. As Miriam herself is wont to declare: what fate wants, fate gets.

– I would also be remiss if I didn’t then go to note: if you like it, you can then pick up the sequels, Mockingbird and The Cormorant. (The book order, for those who don’t know, is: Blackbirds, then Mockingbird, then The Cormorant.) The fourth book, Thunderbird, is in editing as we speak. I also got a couple drafts on the cover, so we should have a final one to reveal soon. Then I’ll write the fifth book (tentatively titled The Raptor & The Wren) this fall and the sixth book next year (that one tentatively titled Vultures). YAY MORE MIRIAM BLACK.

– For those asking, the cover artist for these books is Adam Doyle!

– And hey! I’ve gone and uploaded a brand new book trailer. (Spoiler warning: it’s the same trailer as before, but with the new covers. Trailer done by the awesome dude that is Alan Stewart. The growly voice is by fellow author and bad-ass Dan O’Shea.)
