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.

I’d had notes for how the windships and magic worked in my book for a while. See that ship to the right of this text? I, um, recognize that it might take the reader a bit of time to orient themselves. And, well, I probably should have collected it together to put into The Winds of [...]

So, way back early last year, I mentioned that Winds had been sold to Proszynski Media in Poland. It came out this past September, but I never did receive my author copies. It turned out to be a snafu, and the publisher made sure I got my copies straight away. I finally had a chance [...]

You know, novels such as: Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick Seed by [...]
