News

First off, for my patient Night Wars fans, we just signed the contract for The Hellfire Legacy! So you'll be getting the next Fynn book by...April? I'm taking a stab in the dark on that one.

Sort of a blurb:

All those questions Fynn has been left with over the last two years are about to be answered. The forces that have been at play since before he was even born are ready to confront him. The truth behind his brother's coma, the truth behind the Division building attack, and the truth behind Cormac's interest in his family. New faces and old join together to help fill the void left by the attack, and it's clear there was a traitor amongst them. When the traitor shows up alive, when he should be dead, the manhunt is on, dragging Fynn and his crew to Columbus Ohio to protect his Uncle, and then to Boston, and finally to Ireland, where everything started, Fynn just doesn't know it yet.

The next Gravewatchers book is coming to you in January. Sebastien is in the book, he's just not the main character, that honor belongs to Augustine, a newly risen Grave Watcher from the nineteen thirties.

Blurb:

Augustine Fleur went into the grave knowing that curiosity killed the cat burglar, when she rose she discovered a world where curiosity kept one alive. A newly risen Grave Watcher, Augustine stumbles through her new world under the guidance of Sebastien Crowle, who has his own baggage. But while Augustine may have left the grave behind, there are those who would much rather she never did.

The Ghost King, a mythical entity of terrible power is stalking her, demanding something be returned to him. Except Augustine has no memory of the theft, and he’s getting impatient. With a grave disturbed in London, and vampires to blame, it also begins to look like the long held peace between vampires and Watchmen is coming to an end.

Augustine must unlock her memories if she’s going to solve the riddle of her time in the grave and save the people she’s come to care for. She may just die again trying. 

And then there's The Servant's Heart, a story from the world of The King's Dog, which is looking at a February release. 

Terence has spent his life in the shadows. Even now, far from his home country serving the Lady Linnaea, he lurks behind a servant’s mask. But secrets like his cannot be hidden away forever, and as his mask starts to slip, the castle weaponsmaster, Iolyn, begins to take more notice of him. Will budding romance be enough to shake Terence free of his past? Or will he always be stuck in the shadow of a tainted bloodline?  

That's all for now folks! Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Addendum: I'm trying to put a mailing list together for those of you interested, mostly it will be release information, contests and free-read updates. I'm not a fan of spam, so I won't send you any. Probably a once a month sort of thing. Just shoot me an email at missouridalton@gmail.com with the header: Mailing List, and I'll add you in!

A New Release and News

Today we see the release of The Eagle's Scheme, which is a sort of but not really follow up to The King's Dog about a lady knight named Joslin. This story introduces a new country and takes place after the events of The King's Dog, and hopefully illuminates some more of the political structures. I'm working another which will be from Germaine's POV and clear up some of Morraine's eccentricities.

Now, on to other news. First off, you may have noticed my announcements on FB and the Twitter, but I've recently contracted not one, but two new novels. The first of which is of course Death's Children, a sequel to The Grave Watchers, which is about a freshly risen watchwoman named Augustine Fleur under the loving guidance of our dear Sebastien. Expected release is sometime in January.

Now, the new news. I've contracted my very first YA novel! I've signed a contract with Prizm for a book called Vampirism and You! which follows the early days and confusion of a newly turned teenage vampire, Louis Von Graves. He has a handbook, a foster sire and a bad attitude. The displaced British native ends up in an American high school and hijinks ensue as he tries to figure out A) Should he feed on drama kids or cheerleaders B) Is he not attracted to human girls, or is it vampire girls to C) Should he wear false fangs while playing Dracula in the school play?

You'll get to go along for the ride as Louis navigates through a very dark world with a dose of humor, stoicism and lots of sarcasm.

As an aside, I'm considering starting a new blog for my YA stuff. Not sure just yet, seeing as I don't write anything with material I wouldn't have read as a teenager, but still. Thoughts and comments appreciated on this matter.

Cheers my darlings.
