MISTER STARK I DON’T FEEL SO GOOD<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Not much going on here except I am eyeballs-deep into a copy-edit of WANDERERS, a book that will soon have cover copy I can share and also a\u00a0cover<\/em> I can share — right now I kinda pitch it as “What if Stephen King and Michael Crichton wrote an epic-length Black Mirror episode?” but that’s not quite right. And saying it’s\u00a0The Stand<\/strong> meets\u00a0Station Eleven\u00a0<\/strong>isn’t quite right either. It’s a little bit\u00a0The Passage<\/strong>? I dunno. It’s big. It’s sprawly. It’s scary. It has a lot of surprises.<\/p>\n

And coming soon too: a cover and copy reveal for\u00a0Vultures<\/strong>, the sixth (and final, holy shit) Miriam Black novel. That cover I have, and it’s one of the greatest covers I have of all my books — it\u00a0pops<\/em>. Adam Doyle knocked it out of the park. Cover release, I think, next week.<\/p>\n

Also next week?<\/p>\n

I’m at Phoenix Comicfest! I don’t think the schedule there is firmed up, so I’ll share mine next Monday. But be advised that, even if you’re not attending the show, you\u00a0can\u00a0<\/em>attend ELEVENGEDDON, which is a huuuuuuge author event at the Poisoned Pen bookstore. Takes place next Wednesday, 7pm, and contains the following authors (and more):<\/p>\n

Myke Cole<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emily Devenport<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cory Doctorow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Fry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aaron Mahnke<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sylvain Neuvel<\/strong><\/p>\n

K. Arsenault Rivera<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Scalzi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victoria (V.E.) Schwab<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott Sigler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles Soule<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chuck Wendig<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam Sykes<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s a lotta damn talent in one room. I only hope I don’t bring the quality down.<\/p>\n

Details here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond that? The copy-edit calls, all y’all.<\/p>\n
