Just a quick update to let you know about a couple of things coming up. This week sees the release of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH #3 — in which the Roci crew’s hunt for the pirate Sohiro becomes less abstract and more… stabby, as Amos can attest.
Gotta love the way Rubine captured Wes Chatham’s likeness there. That silent look in the eye that tells you, Amos is that guy…
Meanwhile, next week sees the long-awaited Dark Horse collection of COLD IRON, our modern-day faerie tale / supernatural thriller about young women and old magic. Nick Brokenshire really excelled on this one, ably abetted by Triona Farrell, Simon Bowland and Tom Muller. The trade paperback includes an extensive “behind the scenes” section that includes script excerpts, sketches and notes from Nick, plus a prose epilogue short story which is — honestly — the best thing I’ve ever written.
And if that doesn’t convince you to check out COLD IRON… what would?
I wish I could tell you about the Top Secret New Project I’m currently writing alongside THE EXPANSE, but it probably won’t be officially announced for a few months yet. I will say that I’m playing with some old toys in new ways, and I’m having a ton of fun doing it. And the art is amazing. You’re gonna love it. I’ll reveal more when I can…
That said, I must admit the writing been very slow going just lately — much to the chagrin of my editors (sorry guys!). ADHD makes everything harder, but recently the brain fog and fatigue have been severe. I’m off to the doctor this afternoon to try and figure out what the hell’s going on in my skull. I’ve a nasty suspicion it’s “long covid”, but time will tell… hopefully.
More soon!
