23rd July 2007 / Dead Space / Wasteland / Appearances / On Sale / Anthologies / Texas Strangers
Been a while since I sat down and talked about what I’m doing, instead of just shilling books on sale. And I have San Diego stuff to announce, so let’s get stuck in…
WORK IN PROGRESS
WASTELAND #14 is written - another standalone guest artist issue, this one will be drawn by Joe Infurnari (of BORROWED TIME, and the amazing pinup featued in WL #10). It’s a quiet little story about a scavenger, a Cross Chains priest, and a journey across the wasteland to a small town… fifty-five years after the Big Wet. Oh, yes.
Work on the following arc will begin when I get back from San Diego. Tentatively titled ‘Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos’ (but otherwise known as ‘the Battle of Newbegin’), it’ll probably run through till #17 or #18.
As vowed a few months ago, I’m also hard at work on BLACKGUARD, my next novel - a fantasy adventure for teens. Currently about halfway through, and loving every minute of it. No publisher lined up yet, and I won’t be looking for one till it’s finished, so watch this space.
TEXAS STRANGERS is alive, despite the delays in issue #2. And just to prove it, we’ll have black and white ashcans of issue #3 at San Diego.
POINT BLANC is still on track for a September release. I saw the final, coloured art a few weeks ago, and it looks even better than STORMBREAKER. Really lovely stuff.
Also at San Diego, I’ll be announcing DEAD SPACE, a new sci-fi horror title drawn by the inestimable Ben Templesmith. We’ll be giving away a short teaser issue to promote it, and signing at the Image booth - times below.
L.A. SIGNING
I’ll be signing at Golden Apple in L.A. this Wednesday (25th), from 1-3pm. Myself, Dan Evans and Mario Boon will all be there to promote TEXAS STRANGERS, but I’ll happily sign anything else you want to bring in. If you’re in the area (7018 Melrose, on La Brea) then do stop by. I believe we’re going to overlap a bit with Mike Carey’s appearance on the same day, which should be fun.
ON SALE
Two of the anthologies I’ve recently contributed to go on sale this week; POSTCARDS: TRUE STORIES THAT NEVER HAPPENED is on shelves tomorrow (24th), and 24SEVEN Vol. 2 hits the streets on Wednesday (25th). They’re both well worth your time (Whoever knew anthologies would actually come back into fashion?), and I’ll be signing copies of POSTCARDS at…
SAN DIEGO
Yes, like the rest of the assembled hordes of nerddom, I’ll be at San Diego this week. here’s where I’ll be found over the long weekend. (At all other times, assume I’m in the bar…)
