To help celebrate release day of The Winds of Khalakovo, my friend and writing pal, Paul Genesse, interviewed me about the book and the writing process. The interview will also appear in Black Gate in the coming days. I'll post that when it's up, but for now you can see the interview on Paul's blog. This [...]
Today is the official release day for The Winds of Khalakovo. It's the day that it's available in both in print and e-book formats. It should be on the shelves of booksellers soon if it isn't already. You can check out my book page for more information on where to buy. That's not really what [...]
The bidding for the Genre for Japan auction has begun. There are tons of great things up for auction, including two signed copies of The Winds of Khalakovo. Take a look. There might be something you'll really treasure in the future. Plus, all proceeds to go the Japan Tsunami Appeal run by the British Red Cross.
Robert Thompson, the creator of and one of the primary reviewers at Fantasy Book Critic, just posted a fantastic review for The Winds of Khalakovo. Robert (and FBC in general) tends to give very detailed reviews, and this is no exception. Here's a brief excerpt from the review: I was impressed by the skill and creativity displayed by Bradley P. [...]
This week over at The Night Bazaar, we're celebrating my release week with a giveaway of two signed copies of The Winds of Khalakovo. Even though the physical book has been available from a few booksellers, it doesn’t officially hit the shelves until this week. Plus, April 1st also marks the day Winds will be available [...]
I tweeted yesterday about the Genre for Japan auction that was started recently to benefit the still-unfolding earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan. I've donated two personalized copies of The Winds of Khalakovo to the cause, and there are plenty of great items up for auction going for a good cause. All proceeds go to [...]
Stefan Fergus of the Civilian Reader interviewed me a little while back for The Winds of Khalakovo, and he's just posted the results. Getting connected with Stefan was interesting. Kevin J. Anderson was one of the kind souls who agreed to take a look at Winds for the purpose of providing a blurb (assuming he [...]
Alethea (Lee) Kontis is a fellow writer who wrote the wonderful Alpha Oops, one of my favorite books to read to my kids. Lee asked me a few questions about Winds recently and just posted the interview on her website. Here's a brief excerpt: Princess Alethea: What’s a “quilling”? Brad Beaulieu: Funnily enough, no one’s ever [...]
Louis Couture sat down with me, virtually, for an interview, and he just posted it on LEC Book Reviews. I told Louis, and I'll repeat it here, that the best reviews force the writer to learn a bit about themselves, or their story. That was certainly the case here in this very thoughtful interview. A [...]
Colin Harvey, a fellow writer on the Codex Writers Group, interviewed me recently, and he just posted the interview on his blog. A brief excerpt: So to begin, if you could pick anyone at all, who would you most like to meet? Anyone alive? I’d probably pick Cate Blanchett. She’s such an interesting actress. She’s [...]
I've never been one to look much at the logs of my website, like which pages got the most hits, from where, etc., but with things moving forward with publication in the US, Great Britain, and Australia, and the Polish translation moving forward, I was a bit curious how things have been looking. Check this [...]
As far as I can tell, my debut novel, The Winds of Khalakovo, is now widely available. I've checked these fine establishments, and I'm certain you can now order it from your local bookstore if they don't have it readily available. Indiebound Powell's Books Amazon Barnes & Noble If you prefer to shop at an [...]
The reviews are coming fast and furious now. I haven't found Library Journal's review on their site (I think it's set to come in this month's genre fantasy reviews, which are all lumped together), but I did find their review on Barnes & Noble's site. A brief excerpt: Overlaid with the rich feel of Cyrillic [...]
I feel all fancy and stuff now. I created a press kit, including a news release, for the release of The Winds of Khalakovo. If you're curious, you can check it out here. And for those who live close to Milwaukee, I'm working on the book launch party. More info coming soon on that.
The second part of my interview with Gray is now live on his site. Here's a brief excerpt from the interview: What was the biggest surprise you got out of working on The Winds of Khalakovo?

Gray Rinehart recently interviewed me for the upcoming release of The Winds of Khalakovo. You can find Part 1 of the interview on Gray's blog.
Close on the heels of the first market review of Winds comes the second, this one from Publishers Weekly. Here's a brief excerpt from the full review: Debut novelist Beaulieu paints a detailed and realistic portrayal of individual fates bound up in social responsibilities as well-grounded cultures clash… The prose is often poetic—airborne skiffs under [...]
The Winds of Khalakovo is now listed on Night Shade’s site. I’m now an official member of the posse! Comment excitant! Coming April 2011 Among inhospitable and unforgiving seas stands Khalakovo, a mountainous archipelago of seven islands, its prominent eyrie stretching a thousand feet into the sky. Serviced by windships bearing goods and dignitaries, Khalakovo’s eyrie stands [...]
The Winds of Khalakovo, book two, has begun in earnest. I'm still playing with the title, but for now I'm going with The Straits of Baiyaal. I'm buzzing with excitement to get moving on this book. Things always move slowly for me in the beginning of new projects, though. I suppose this is par for [...]
