This is exciting for me. I’ve gotten to play art director on the interior art for The Lays of Anuskaya, with the talented Evgeni Maloshenkov as the artist. One of the pieces I’d always wanted to do was the dance scene between Atiana and Nikandr. It’s a fan favorite, and it’s one of my favorites [...]
As part of the Kickstarter I ran for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh, we met two interior artwork stretch goals, which meant that we’d have two original pieces per book. These will be added to each of the books on the page facing “Part I” or “Part II”. The artist I chose for the project [...]
A great new review came in over the weekend from Sachin Dev over at Smorgasbord Fantasia. I liked his opening: I still haven’t come to terms with this question, do I love Russian literature. I tried Tolstoy’s epic, War and Peace. Not once but twice. And I failed both times to complete it. Dostoevsky’s short [...]
A few August’s ago, my friend, old coworker, and major gun enthusiast Barry Geipel invited me to stop by his firing range and shoot his flintlock. I immediately said yes. I was at that time in the middle of writing my second book and really wanted to hold and fire a flintlock for myself. We [...]
478. That’s the number of pages in the new layout for The Winds of Khalakovo. That may seem like a small thing, but it’s actually a big deal. Why? First of all, it indicates that I’ve managed to lay out all the pages in the book. And *that* says that I’ve at the very least [...]
I’ve been working away behind the scenes to get the e-books for The Winds of Khalakovo and The Straits of Galahesh ready to re-launch. It’ll be a few days yet on Straits, but I’m pleased to announce that The Winds of Khalakovo is now live on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords (including affiliates). I’m [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been getting a bump in reviews of The Winds of Khalakovo these past few months, most likely due to the holiday season, or perhaps a bit of a groundswell for the series. The latest is from Connie Jasperson over at the Best in Fantasy blog. Here’s the closing paragraph, which pleases me in all [...]
Joshua Lowe over at Fixed on Fantasy doesn’t, apparently, do full-blown reviews of fiction, but instead does quick takes of novels once he’s done reading them. So while it isn’t as detailed a review as you might find elsewhere, I rather like Joshua’s take on reviews, and not only because he was very complimentary of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
The latest review of Winds goes to Battle Hymns. Overall, a very nice review. The setting here is a unique one. The place names and character names give The Winds of Khalakovo a distinct Russian feel, and the windswept archipelago geography is pretty cool too. I gotta give Beaulieu credit, he definitely found his story a unique [...]
Sarah over at Bookworm Blues recently reviewed The Winds of Khalakovo, calling it a book worth paying attention to and me and author worth noting. Here’s a brief excerpt from the review: Beaulieu has written an incredibly complex novel filled with rich cultural detail and plenty of symbolism. In fact, many reviewers have compared The Winds [...]
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 [...]
