EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED Limited Edition...Going Fast!

Hey everybody!  I am absolutely floored and crying just a little bit to learn that after being available for just a few hours, the Limited Edition of EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED from the redoubtable Thunderstorm Books has fewer than 5 copies remaining.  If you see this blogpost and you hurry, you might still be able to grab a copy. Thanks, everyone!

2035 A.D.  After the 2nd American Revolution.

Jack Pasternak, a laid-back California doctor, receives a garbled distress call from his fiancée in Maryland before her transmissions stop altogether. Unfortunately for Jack, citizens of the Blue States are no longer allowed to cross Red America.  He is faced with an impossible choice: ignore his lover’s peril or risk his own life and sanity by venturing into the dark heart of the Red States. 

When the armies of the Mexican reconquista come marching into Los Angeles, his hand is forced.  Joined by a wisecracking barista with a shocking secret, Jack heads east in an old-fashioned petroleum-fueled automobile.

The journey is a minefield of dangers, as they face partisan warbands, feral Wal-Mart dwellers, and missionaries from the Mormon State of Deseret.  But all that is merely a prelude to the final showdown between the politicized armies of the former United States, who are poised to clash mere miles from Jack's missing fiancée...

Horrible Saturday or Bust!

Guess what tomorrow is?

Yes, Saturday.  Guess what else.

Yes, the 9th.  Guess what else.

All right, stop guessing, you're terrible at this.  I'll just tell you.  Tomorrow is Horrible Saturday at the York Emporium!

What's Horrible Saturday you're asking?

You fucking Philistine. 

First of all, it's an amazing book signing event from 12 noon to 4:00 pm featuring the likes of myself, Lesley Conner, Rachel Autumn Deering, Bob Ford, Brian Keene, Kelli Owen, Jason Pokopec, Mary SanGiovanni, and Chet Williamson.  I'll have all of my novels available for sale, and, as always, autographs are free.

But it's not just that.

There's also going to be a horror panel from 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm starring yours truly and the other authors.  That's going to be broadcast on local TV.  On TV, people.

But it's not just just that.

There's also also going to be a movie screening.  Joe R. Lansdale's "Christmas of the Dead" starring Chet Williamson.  That's from 12 noon to 1:30 pm.  With free popcorn.  Free.

So how do you get in?  Easy, just show up at:

343 W Market St
York, PA 17401

Entrance is free.  Hope to see you there!

Amazicon or Bust!

I will be at Amazicon this weekend!  It will be a con.  And it will be amazing.  (As evidenced by the name.)


What's so great about Amazicon for the Kozeniewski fan and/or well-wisher?


Well, I will have paperback copies of BRAINEATER JONES, THE GHOUL ARCHIPELAGO, BRAVE NEW GIRLS, and BILLY AND THE CLONEASAURUS for sale (naturally.)  However, this convention will be your first opportunity ever to purchase my latest release EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED in person.  Books are $12 for one or $10 apiece for two or more.  And as always, if you took the time to come out to see me, all autographs are free.


Where is it? 


The Doubletree Hotel by Hilton
4727 Concord Pike
Wilmington, DE 19803


When is it?


Friday, 15 April 4:00-10:00pm
Saturday, 16 April 10:00am-7:00pm
Sunday, 17 April 11:00am-5:00pm


I am not scheduled for any panels.  That means you will be able to find me in the vendors room the entire con.  (If the vendors room ends up having separate hours from the rest of the con, I'll update this post.)


What if I hate you?


Not to worry!  Fellow author Mary Fan will also be present Saturday and will also be without panels.  It'll just be us and the lines around the block of our adoring public.


Not to mention I will also have a plethora of books from such great authors as Elizabeth Corrigan, Michael Meyerhofer, Melissa MacVicar, Laura M. Kolar, Collin Tobin, and more!


What if I can't make it?


Can't catch me in Wilmington this weekend?  Here are all my other scheduled appearances this year.  Want me to appear somewhere I'm not currently scheduled?  It could happen.  Contact me and we'll talk about it.


Thanks everybody!

Cover Reveal: EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED

If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or even on my group blog Across the Board (and why wouldn't you be following me all those places and more?) you've already seen the cover to my upcoming novel.  So to everyone who treats Manuscripts Burn as their indispensable first stop for all Kozeniewski news, I apologize.  October turned out to be so jam-packed with seasonal posts and special guests that I never had a chance to post it, and I figured November will be a better time anyway as I'm NaNoing and could use some non-labor intensive blogposts.

 

Quite the beaut, eh?  If you didn't check out the evolution of a book cover blogpost on ATB, you really should.  It's a fun time.

 

You know what?  I was about to write a brief synopsis, but you know what I think would be more interesting?  Why don't you tell me in the comments what you think the plot is, based on the cover alone?  (No fair cheating if I've already told you what it's about.)  I'd be interested to see if it conveys as much of the plot as I think it does.  Should be a fun experiment anyway.  So fire away!
