Things are moving along nicely with the artwork. This is the third piece that’s complete, and another is in sketch form. The remaining two have art briefs, and sketches should be coming for those soon. As I mentioned in the post where I revealed this sketch, this scene shows Muqallad after a particularly grizzly series [...]
These are not complete, obviously, but I liked these early sketches enough to share them. The first is a scene from The Straits of Galahesh. So as to remain as spoiler-free as possible, I’ll only say that this is Muqallad, one of the Al-Aqim, the three elemental sorcerers who tore the fabric between the material [...]
I mentioned a few days ago that The Winds of Khalakovo has been re-launched in e-book form. Today I’m pleased to announce that The Straits of Galahesh is now also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords (including affiliates). The price is a cool $4.99, and as a reminder, The Winds of Khalakovo is available at the low introductory price [...]
So here’s some exciting news. I have new covers! As part of the gear-up for the release of my third book, The Flames of Shadam Khoreh, I’m also re-releasing The Winds of Khalakovo and The Straits of Galahesh. I have to admit some disappointment that the previous versions didn’t have a unifying theme. So I [...]
It’s award season again, isn’t it? I can tell, because, well, it’s January. Unfamiliar with the Hugos? You can hop on over to the 2013 Hugos site to learn more about the process, what’s eligible, how to vote, and so on. Basically, it’s things published or things “done” in the 2012 calendar year. I say [...]
So last week I was tapped by Amber Benson to do this thing that everyone’s doing. I have to fess up, I actually looked at this and thought it seemed kind of silly. I mean, if anyone’s going to wander over to my website, they could long ago have read about who I am and [...]
Today, Rising Shadow posted its review of The Straits of Galahesh. It was a wonderful review. Here’s one choice excerpt: Bradley P. Beaulieu’s The Winds of Khalakovo was one of the best fantasy books of 2011, so I could hardly wait to read its sequel, The Straits of Galahesh. This sequel is bigger and better than its predecessor [...]
Tonight at 8pm CST, join me, along with special guest hosts Peter V. Brett and Myke Cole, for a Fantasy Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA). The AMAs are threaded forums where readers and fans get to interact with authors. So feel free to stop by and post a question or two. Tough and/or embarrassing questions [...]
I mentioned a few months back that the audio rights for The Lays of Anuskaya trilogy had been sold to Audible through my publisher, Night Shade Books. Well, I found out a bit more information this week. The voice actor is Ray Chase. He’s done a wide variety of acting, including some audio books for [...]
Today is my day in the revolving fantasy author wonderland that is Debut Authorpalooza. Head on over to Staffer’s Book Review and take a look at my thoughts on writing my second book, The Straits of Galahesh, and also a particularly grizzly excerpt from Straits. Oh, and there’s a giveaway as well! I’m giving one [...]
I was fortunate enough to be included in a group of authors who are celebrating our second (and even third) novels. Justin Landon over at A Staffer’s Musings has been kind enough to host us. Starting Monday, July 16th, and for the following two weeks, each of the authors will be posting a blog [...]
A bit of good news for your post-Independence Day ennui. I’ve been informed that the rights to The Lays of Anuskaya series have been sold to Audible.com! This is really exciting. I’ve not had my fiction read in audio form before. I’ve read my books at conventions and such, but of course that’s only a chapter [...]
The year is only half over, but Pat over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist has listed his provisional top 5 titles of the year, and The Straits of Galahesh is number 3, behind Ian Tregillis’s The Coldest War and Paul Kearney’s The Kings of Morning. Rounding out the list are Myke Cole’s Control Point and C.S. [...]
Last year, The Winds of Khalakovo nabbed the Debut of the Year from Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist. Pat pinged me shortly after and asked if an ARC for The Straits of Galahesh was available. I said of course an ARC was available and promptly arranged for one to be sent with Night Shade’s publicist. Truth is, though, [...]
Keith over at Adventures Fantastic recently read and reviewed The Straits of Galahesh. Keith had read The Winds of Khalakovo last year and was really impressed by it. Here’s that review. Well, he apparently likes Straits as well. Here’s the kicker: If you read The Winds of Khalakovo, then you will want to read The Straits of [...]
The latest review for The Straits of Galahesh comes from Stefan Raets over at Tor.com. I have to say, I always love it when my work gets compared to other writers (in a favorable way, of course). In this case, it’s Robin Hobb with her Seven Duchies/Rain Wilds series and Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of [...]
Wow. It's been an entire year since The Winds of Khalakovo was released. It's strange, it feels like the year has been comprised of two separate wholes that have somehow coexisted even though they're traveling at different speeds through timespace. One part, the part that's been traveling at normal speed, is the day job, the [...]
The Straits of Galahesh Giveaway continues, and the response so far has been great! There's still another week to go to win one of the great prizes: a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet (winner's choice), a Kindle Touch or Nook Simple Touch (winner's choice), a rare signed ARC of The Straits of Galahesh, and sets [...]
Far Beyond Reality, the relatively new review site from Stefan Raets, has a brand new review of The Winds of Khalakovo. The review, which you can read in its entirety here, is quite complementary. Here's my favorite part: The Winds of Khalakovo is a debut that merits your attention. The way Bradley Beaulieu focuses on the [...]
Although the release of Straits is still a few weeks out, I now have in my hot little electronic paws a PDF teaser for The Straits of Galahesh. It contains the prologue and the first eleven chapters, plus a short synopsis of The Winds of Khalakovo. Download The Straits of Galahesh Teaser Here I [...]
