Black River Orchard, On Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember that wine, Two Buck Chuck? Well, I think any time any of my books go on sale, that book is a Two Buck Chuck book — er, assuming it’s two bucks, which in this case, Black River Orchard<\/strong> most certainly is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find it anywhere you procure electronic tomes<\/em> for your digital reading slate<\/em>. I certainly recommend Bookshop.org<\/a> as an option, and Kobo<\/a>, too, though certainly there’s also Amz<\/a>, B&N<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a mere two ducats<\/em> you can enjoy a town whose people are warped and mutated by a sinister apple that has begun to grow there — the Ruby Slipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paperback Release for Staircase in the Woods, Signed, Personalized, Bestickered<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I still have some lovely Natalie Metzger-made stickers left for Staircase, and the paperback comes out the first Tuesday in March —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy from Doylestown Bookshop<\/a>, they’ll send it to you, but not before I gladly sign and personalize for you, and include a sticker (as supplies last) and also offer you a unique personalization<\/em> in the form of your room inside the sinister house beyond the stairs…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or: Come Find Me, Moo Hoo Ha Ha<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also<\/em> get your book signed and personalized (no promises on the stickers) when I go to hang out with Clay McLeod Chapman in NYC at the Twisted Spine Bookstore on March 5th — tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, or, or, when I join Eric LaRocca for his launch of Wretch at Thrillerdelphia on Thursday, March 26th! Tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And More To Come<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got more to come, including some more cover reveal stuff for both The Calamities and The Boy Who Dreamed Of Doors, and a potential May the 4th event…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
