Jack Wylder here. The ILoH asked me to repost the remainder of his schedule for the Son of the Black Sword North American Tour 2015. The beginning of a new Correia series is always a special time and this series definitely shows that whatever you might think of his politics the man can write! If you’ve never gotten to meet him in person and you’re in the area you should definitely swing by. If you have already met him, you probably don’t need any prompting. Oh and he didn’t mention it so I will; if you’ve read and enjoyed the book, please be sure to leave him a review on Amazon. If your town isn’t listed, keep in mind that Larry goes where the Baen PR folks send him so it’s nothing personal and he regrets not being able to visit your town this time around.

The next Monster Hunter Nation BOOK BOMB is going to be on November 3rd, for Mike Kupari’s solo debut sci-fi novel, Her Brother’s Keeper.

I’m going to try something a little different on this one. Now that Amazon has instituted a long delay (I’m guessing it is about 8 hours) before the sales rank changes, it has made it harder to get that awesome, wild west, crazy swing vibe that we used to get with BBs. And now the high point spike arrives in the middle of the night, when most people in North America are asleep.

So this time I’m actually going to stick up the BB post on the 2nd. The physical book actually officially releases on the 3rd. That’s our official date. So instead of having a 24 hour book bomb, it will be more like a 36 hour book bomb. That way hopefully we’ll see the cool number spike that day like we used to, instead of the day after.

I’m going to be on book tour during this, so I’ll update as much as I can. I’ll actually be in Seattle that day, but I should still be able to jump in occasionally to update the stats.

And please tell your friends and spread the word. I want this one to be a good one. Mike Kupari is a good man, one of my best friends, a damned good author, a vet, a retired EOD Tech, and if the purpose of Book Bombs is to give a deserving author who could really use a publicity boost, a boost, then Mike is the guy. Because life has kicked him in the nuts a few times, and this debut solo novel is an amazing opportunity to launch a great career.

Not to mention, the book is REALLY GOOD. I was one of the alpha readers. Honestly, what it most reminds me of is David Drake’s The Voyage (that is a good thing). It is an unabashed, people go into space and DO STUFF novel. It is world hopping space opera, where rocket ships land on their jets as God and Robert Heinlein intended.

So mark your calendars. The afternoon of the 2nd I’ll post the links, and then we’ll see how much of a boost we can give Mike.

So not only is the Kindle book out now, but I’ll be doing a live twitter chat with Publisher’s weekly tomorrow. It starts at 3 PM Eastern. I’ll be responding to  @PW_Connect but every tweet will contain #PWThursday.  So if you are on Twitter, jump in.

And this give away goes live on Friday.

My new novel is now available on Kindle. The hard cover will be in stores everywhere on October 27th.

I’m really excited about this one. It is my first attempt at epic fantasy, and I’m proud of how it turned out.

Hey all, Jack Wylder here with your series II update.
I’ve been somewhat absent/ elusive here lately because a) I’m busy as all get out with my awesome new job as a marketing ninja and b) there hasn’t really been all the much to report until now. Last week we received the first batch of coins. Important to note is that that just means half of the designs and NOT half of all the coins. (So I have boxes and boxes of Stranger & Stranger and Milo coins, but no PPUFFx tags yet.) The remaining designs have apparently shipped out yesterday and are even now winding their way across the country to the CorreiaTech Texas Outpost (Code name Hippo River). Lighters and stickers are slightly delayed but should be in hand shortly. So while I have sent out a few of the smaller orders, the bulk of the shipping is still to come in the near future. To complicate matters slightly, I am leaving town Sunday on a business trip so I won’t be able to do any shipping until late next week. (And if anyone is going to be at OpenWorld shoot me an email at CorreiaTech1911 AT gmail DOT com) After I return I will dedicate all of my free time after work each day to packing these up and getting them out to you as quickly as possible. I will do a third update to let you know when the bulk of them have shipped. I have temporarily closed the swag store- I can’t deal with more orders coming in right now! Also, if you ordered anything off the store, your order will be shipped in the order they came in- I have to get this back order situation handled. On the subject of the store, we are no longer going to accept payments from PayPal. We can detail exactly why in a later post. I’m not really able to spend much time on the book of faces, btw, so if you’re tagging me there I might be slow to respond (don’t take it personally it’s not you, it’s me. Sorry about the delay, Jesse!)
I think that’s it for now. I’ll update when there’s something new to say.
Here’s a shot of the final actual Milo coin to tide you over:
