I don’t know if it’s come up before here, but my novel Blood of Ambrose is due out from Pyr in April. Publishers Weekly gives it a review today that glows in dark colors. I was startled and pleased. (I don’t know if the book is “unrelentingly grim,” though; “relentingly grim,” perhaps.) (That’s not my book at the top of the PW webpage, by the way–of course, I would be qualified to write it. At least proofread it. Okay, enough with the lies: I’m not sure what a supersexpert is, and I’m somewhat skeptical about the credentialling process.)
Word on the street is that the Audible.com audio version will be available April 21.
Brilliant! Congrats – I’m looking forward to it.
Thanks!
FWIW, in fiction generally I, at least, prefer fascinating characters over loveable ones. Particular since what so many find loveable I find to be annoying twits. Or at least you wish they’d shut up once in a while.
Love, C.
Thanks–I feel the same way. My mantra down the long years of rejection slips was, “I don’t like likeable characters and I don’t believe in believable situations.”
Sweet! I’m looking forward to reading it, and if it’s on Audible I think I’ll go “read” it there. 😀
Excellent; thanks. That way you’ll get my brilliant audio introduction, too (which I still have to write and record, so the brilliance is mostly notional at this point).

Don’t make me sing at you.
Actually, I was thinking of a singing introduction.
Something like that.
Exxxxcellent! /Monty Burns
I am very much looking forward to the unrelenting grimness. The blurb has served its appetite-whetting purpose.
Thanks!
Really, it’s an uplifting story full of human warmth. And necromancy and betrayal.
Warm betrayal is the best kind, but necromancy is a dish best served cold. I’m prepared to be uplifted.
It’s true the necromancy is air-temperature at best…
And golems. There had better be golems.
I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate set aside for the book’s release.
Two different kinds!
Congratulations! Cool! Groovy!
Thanks!
Yay, you! I’m so looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of this book.
Thanks! Glad to hear it.
Cool review, James! Good for you and Morlock, I’m happy for the both of you.
Thanks! Here’s hoping the rising S&S tide lifts all boats.
