Another SHADES interview
Told you this was going to be a high-promotion sort of week. But the good news there is that means a lot of contests!
The wonderful Amber has interviewed me over at her blog. Here is the link. This interview focuses on the Icarus Project, both on BLACK AND WHITE and the upcoming SHADES OF GRAY, and so prepare yourself for the wonders of superheroes! And at the end is another chance to win a copy of BLACK AND WHITE.
Jackie a la Jackie
Yes, I know — it’s a self-centered blog post title. But hey, it works, because I have been interviewed by Jackie over at Literary Escapism. It was terrific talking with her about all of my series. (Serieses?) And hey, there’s a contest at the end! So come on over to Literary Escapism, have a read, and enter the contest to win a copy of BLACK AND WHITE.
This is going to be a heavy promo week for SHADES OF GRAY, which hits the shelves on Tuesday, June 22, 2010, in the US and Canada! Rah, superheroes! (Okay, and supervillains!) If you’re a comic book fan, or you saw THE DARK KNIGHT 25,000 times in the theater, or you were all about the WATCHMEN before there was a movie, I think you’ll enjoy the book.
Because secretly, we all either want to be superheroes…or beat the snot out of them.

The Ginormous Preorder SHADES OF GRAY Contest
[EDITED TO ADD: The Ginormous SHADES OF GRAY Contest is now closed to entries.]
You know how frustrating it is to go into your local bookstore and not see the book you desperately want to read RIGHT NOW? Yeah, we do too. That’s why Caitlin and Jackie are encouraging readers to preorder SHADES OF GRAY. The book hits the shelves in the US and Canada on Tuesday, June 22. We have no idea whether your local chain or indie will have it in stock when you want to buy it — so we’re encouraging readers to preorder SHADES OF GRAY from their favorite bookstore.
If you preorder SHADES OF GRAY, you’re eligible to enter the ginomous Preorder SHADES OF GRAY Contest! What are we giving away? Glad you asked…
Caitlin Kittredge, who writes in the POV of supervillain Iridium, is giving away her entire Nocturne City series. All five books, signed by Caitlin. Plus a signed copy of BLACK AND WHITE. This is the Bad Guys Prize Pack.
Jackie Kessler, who writes in the POV of superhero Jet, is giving away her entire Hell on Earth series. All three novels and two anthologies, signed by Jackie. Plus a signed copy of BLACK AND WHITE. This is the Good Guys Prize Pack.
And the grand prize winner will receive, along with a signed copy of BLACK AND WHITE and one book from Caitlin’s and Jackie’s backlist, a copy of THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN OMNIBUS, written by Matt Fraction. This is the Superhero Prize Pack.
The Bad Guys Prize Pack winner will be picked at random on Saturday, June 19, 2010.
The Good Guys Prize Pack winner will be picked at random on Sunday, June 20, 2010.
