Book deal news! My next novel, The Last Contract of Isako, is a cyberpunk samurai space opera (without the space) that I describe as what you’d get if Akira Kurosawa wrote Dune starring a 50-something give-no-fucks swordswoman on her last job, blended with vibes of Blade Runner plus a touch of John Wick. Scheduled to release in Winter 2025. Read the announcement from Orbit Books.
Wow. The Green Bone Saga tops Reader’s Digest’s list of the 25 Best Fantasy Series Ever Written, and Jade City is included on Book Riot’s 22 Best Fantasy Books of All Time. More than a year after the publication of Jade Legacy, I’m happy and grateful that the trilogy is still garnering praise and attention.
Join me at one of these events in April, in person and online, for the launch of Untethered Sky.
Preorder Untethered Sky and submit the receipt by April 10, 2023 to receive a signed bookplate and laptop sticker!
Last year, I was approached by Shannon Lee, the daughter of Bruce Lee, who asked me if I would be interested in collaborating with her to write a series of young adult fantasy novels inspired by her father’s life, writings, and philosophy. Bruce Lee is such an influential figure to me, so of course, my answer was a resounding yes. I’m excited to share the news that the Guardian of the Scroll duology has now sold to editor Mara Delgado-Sanchez at Wednesday Books, for publication in 2024 and 2025.
