THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - author copies have arrived...

... and wow!

Upon removing the dust jacket, I see that the regular trade HC is bound in blue cloth, while the limited HC is bound in purple cloth. Very nice.
For those readers who purchase the regular trade HC, that version has no Wold Newton Family tree chart on the end sheets. I've made the chart available at The Evil in Pemberley House website. Just scroll down the right navigation bar to THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - FAMILY TREE. Note that this version of the chart is Spoiler-Free; it does not give away any of the novel's mysteries.

The Limited Edition HC has this very same Spoiler-Free family tree chart in the book's end sheets. The Chapbook that comes with the Limited Edition has the Spoilers version of the family tree on the inside front and back covers. I will not be making that version of the family tree chart available electronically, at least not for some time--you'll need to buy the Limited Edition for that. :-) From what I can tell, copies of the Limited Edition are going very quickly.

All in all, I'm incredibly pleased, and feel very lucky. It's a beautiful package all around.

THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - shipping complete & 1st look at Limited Edition Chapbook cover




According to
Subterranean Press, all individual, retail, and wholesale orders for The Evil in Pemberley House have shipped.

I have yet to receive my author copies, but Mike Croteau of The Official Philip José Farmer Home Page got his copy today, and kindly has provided a scan of the Limited Edition Chapbook cover, featuring the Doc Wildman ("Doc Savage") Coat of Arms as designed and described by Philip José Farmer in Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life (with a couple extra touches added from Phil's unpublished notes by yours truly) and lovingly rendered by Keith Howell.

These arrived today....

Quite pleased.... I have the Green Hornet serials on VHS, which doesn't do me much good as I don't have a functional VHS player right now. Looking forward to watching these again, anyway. The liner notes that came with the DVDs are excellent.

I enjoyed the Bond movie a lot in theaters and perhaps will watch it again this weekend, on a writing break.

I saw Torchwood: Children of Earth while I was in the UK last month and agreed with the general sentiment in most reviews that it started with a bang but petered out. Nonetheless, overall I think it's worth having the DVD set.

Library Journal review of THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE


The folks over at Subterranean Press have noted that Library Journal has reviewed The Evil in Pemberley House, saying "this dark erotic novel mixes the gothic-horror format with pieces of Sherlockian mysteries as well as homages to Tarzan of Greystoke and the Doc Savage series."

Yep!

Phantom Chronicles 2 covers - coming in December


Looks like I may have been wrong in an earlier post about the cover(s) for The Phantom Chronicles 2. Perhaps the cover on B&N.com is a dummy placeholder (I think I did see that cover on a Phantom comic book...) Anyway, these appear to be the covers (softcover and hardcover). The book is solicited for December!
