Coming shortly: Thieftaker

[la_marquise]

One of the things I'm liking about this summer is the number of books that I'm really looking forward to that are due out in July and August. And one of them is due out tomorrow: Thieftaker by D. B. Jackson, who is also the awesome David B Coe. I love David's books, and this new one looks even better than his previous ones.

"Murder and magic stalk the streets of pre-revolutionary Boston. Ethan Kaille, a thieftaker of some notoriety, and a conjurer of some skill, is hired by the father of a murdered girl to find her killer. Soon he is swept up in a storm of intrigue and magic, politics and treachery."

You can see the cover (which is gorgeous) and read sample chapters on David's website. Go, read, buy!

I'm really looking forward to it, I have to say.

I think the promotion of others work can be never anything but exemplary. That's who you are. Will have a look at the links.

Thank you :-)
David writes great books: I am always happy to promote books by writers I love.

I read his short story in tales from the Ur-bar and liked it. I will try the sample chapters over lunch and see if I want to grab the rest.

Thank you for the recommendation. Also I think it was you who drew Tales from the Ur-Bar to my attention so thank you for that as well.

That's a good story, set in the same world. I'm glad the recommendation was worthwhile.

Tales from the Ur-Bar was an excellent short story collection. I think I liked all the stories which is unusual in a collection as diverse as that.

The first three chapters were a good read but I don't buy hardbacks so I will wait for the paperback to come out.
