Preorder Away!

All righty then, somehow I've managed to get this thing published amid everything else going on this crazy summer!  It's officially out the 19th of September (theoretically to celebrate a decade of writing on my part).  Enjoy!

Cover and back blurb

Here you go, something to tide over my ravenous fan(s)(?) until I actually get around to finishing the thing.  Here's the draft for the 'back' blurb too:

He’s finally done it, the only wonder is how the world has survived his continued presence this long.  Jace, the imprecisely named Last Shadow, finally blows up the world.  Perhaps it is not wholly his fault, but that’s never stopped him from claiming credit for such feats before.  Join Jace and a few old friends for a last romp through the world’s twilight years; the Apocalypse has never been this much fun!

The Enemy’s final triumph draws nigh, the Time of Revelation looms, and the world trembles at his coming, or it would if it realized its peril.  As the days dwindle and the gloom deepens, even the Shadow of the Unicorn does not escape unscathed.  Reduced to a single man, but still determined to fight, though forbidden from meddling in the greatest acts of this final age of the world, the Last Shadow does not stand idle nor long alone.  Well equipped with his trademark smile and incorrigible sense of humor, Jace is willing to meet the looming End alone if he must, but then that’s never been his lot, even in the darkest days of his service to the Shadow.

You’ll find a more detailed and serious account of the last days recorded elsewhere in the Chronicles of the Brethren, whereas this tale is told from the perspective of the most irascible of all Shadows with his usual combination of levity, impetuosity, and boldness with a generous dose of the ridiculous and absurd thrown in for good measure.  Join Jace and his friends for one last lark in the world as we currently know it, ere the curtain falls and something far more grand begins.

A philosophical question

Hmmm...I'm making progress on that theoretical book, but it may be a little short, but as Jane Austen says, 'a good book always is,' (paraphrase mine), does that mean a short book is always good?

Nope, go fish...

'Got any books?'
'Nope, go fish...or go read something worthwhile instead of playing insipid card games.'
'What a brilliant idea, ta ta!'
'Got any lobsters...hello?...does this mean I win?'

Halfway there

Amazingly, I'm halfway there on the book, though how long the other half will take is anyone's guess!
