The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison, Released!

How times flies.  The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison, the third book in my West of the Warlock series, came out on August 1.  Those who want to purchase the Kindle version can now do so on Amazon.com, and you can also find the print version there as well.  To read the first 2 chapters, be sure to check out its listing slot at Martinus Publishing.

 

With this third installment now released, we now await the gamechanger: book #4!  I’ll have more to say about “Unforsaken” at a later date, but just as a teaser, I’ll let you know that it moves the timeline forward into the Roaring Twenties.  It brings back some familiar faces from the first 3 books (now in their golden years), along with some new and exciting characters to give us a multi-generational experience. All this, plus a special cameo appearance by J. Edgar Hoover!

The text for Unforsaken is now finished and ready for publication, and assuming there is any interest in The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison, I’ll release it sometime next year.  The haste with which the next book will be released will be contingent on how well this current one sells, so make sure to spread the word and get friends to buy it—assuming you want the next book to come out.

Well, have to go.  The 5th book in the series needs some plotting!

The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison... at last!

Fans of "West of the Warlock" have been patient with me to bring out the third installment in this fantasy western series, and at long last that patience will be rewarded.  Coming in August, readers will finally be able to buy "The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison" in paperback or for the kindle!  The final formatting is complete for the book, and I should have the proof copy to review later this week.  Therefore, the book is now available for pre-order here.

This book was completed way back in 2012, and was part of the original trilogy contracted by Hall Brothers Entertainment for publication.  I was hoping to get this book into print sooner, but with all the responsibilities of running Martinus Publishing, it had to wait.

Now, for your viewing pleasure, here is the front cover artwork by Paul Milligan:

It's great to have the same artist on all 3 West of the Warlock book covers, and I'm glad that we were able to maintain the similar "pattern" to the three pieces.

This book will bring back the same characters you've come to enjoy (Sheriff Doliber, Ron Grimes, Joella Talus, Solen Lucca, just to name a few), and we'll get to meet some new ones who add new flavor to the wild west the way it wasn't.  I guarantee you, it won't be the last, as the fourth book is already written, and a fifth is also in the works.  The release date of these sequels will be contingent on sales of The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison.  If it sells well (breaks even), I'll be more inclined to get the next book out, so be sure to spread the word!

Unlike the first two books in the series, this one will be missing the editing talents of A.C. Hall.  I hope he's still finding time to write, and that I'll get to see some more of it one of these days.

So, who's fired up to read The Man Who Shot Thomas Edison?
