Superhero Haikus & Halloween Goodness

You can find a cool post over at James Maxey's The Prophet & The Dragon blog featuring superhero haikus. If you haven't read anything by James, he's the author of a really cool series of novels involving an age of dragon dominance over humans. The first book is Bitterwood and it absolutely rocks! Think of it as Planet of the Dragons instead of Planet of the Apes. He followed that up with Dragonforge (which I've purchased, but haven't read yet) and will conclude the trilogy with Dragonseed, which is slated for release in July 2009.

He's also written a superhero novel called Nobody Gets the Girl, which is how we get back around the haikus. You can find the post here, and if you look closely, you just might find a haiku by someone you recognize. (Hint: He wrote Staked and its forthcoming sequel - ReVamped.)

Also, if you haven't been checking out the League of Reluctant Adults blog, this would be the week to start. We've got tons of guests and giveaways. Check it out here.

Sovereign Summer Sunday

Just a quick update to let you all know about something awesome that's happening as I type. Matthew Wayne Selzinick is doing a live event to promote the release of his book, Brave Men Run. He's streaming live video of himself most of the day today, giving updates on the Amazon numbers, reading new stories in the Sovereign era by folks like Mur Lafferty, J. C. Hutchins, Matt Lowell, Matt Wallace, J. R. Blackwell, P. G. Holyfield, and Jared Axelrod... he's even got a live chat going on. For more info, go here for the full announcement.

I'm about halfway through the podcast version of the novel and it's well worth the read. I've placed my online order today and if you can, so should you. So order your copy on Amazon and then join everyone over at http://www.bravemenrun.com/ for the event!
