Mass Market Magics

warded_man_mmpb_cover_webBig day tomorrow. After what seems like an eternity, the Mass Market Paperback (MMPB) of The Warded Man finally goes on sale in the US & Canada.

Long have I waited for this day, as my literary firstborn is sown far and wide on my native soil. Hidden away in my Hobbit Hole, safe from prying eyes, I have drawn ancient wards to harness deepest Core magic and cast good fortune upon March 23, 2010. Children born or conceived on this day will be smarter, healthier, and better behaved. Orgasms will be twice as powerful, curling even the limberest toes until they cramp.

Marriage proposals on March 23, 2010 will not fail. Good turns to your neighbor will be returned tenfold. That cold you feel coming on will not manifest. Even the worst of farts will smell sweeter, and your back will only itch in places you can easily scratch. All your endeavors will have +4 to initiative.

To celebrate, my agent and I are taking the day off to visit bookstores all over Brooklyn and Manhattan to meet the fine folks working there and sign the books they have in stock and (so long as the stores let me) insert a signed bookplate you can put in your copy of The Desert Spear, should you like the book enough to want to continue the series. If you live in Brooklyn or Manhattan and want a signed book, they should be all over town on Wednesday. A little personal thank you to anyone who buys the book.

I am going to keep a number of bookplates in my satchel at all times, and whenever I’m out of town, I will try and do the same at the local stores wherever I go. Who knows? Maybe my Johnny Appleseed journeys will bring me to a store near you!

  1. Let me know when you plan to hit B&N in Union Square tomorrow so we can grab some Timbits.

  3. Woo-hoo! Double the orgasmic power? Maybe if we all put in the effort we can crack the earth’s crust.

  5. Wow! If book writing doesn’t work out for you I’m sure you’d have a great future in the fortune cookie business. And save some of those bookplates in case you ever make it to Israel.

  6. If your travels bring you down to DC, we’ll grab some Timbits too. Oh wait, damn.

    I really need to move to New York.
