Pathfinder Tales on iTunes

I should mention more often that the Pathfinder Tales novels are available via iTunes. If you prefer Kindle, I understand it's a cinch to translate the files to that format.

Here is as good a place as any to start, especially if you like gothic mysteries. Or perhaps you would prefer something more Asian-influenced? Of course, you could always start at the beginning.

All of the Pathfinder Tales novels and many of the Pathfinder Journals and web fiction are available via iTunes. Check 'em out.

New Master of Devils Interview

Michael Tresca asks me a few questions about Master of Devils and Prince of Wolves.

Check out Michael's new book, Well of Stars.

Prince of Wolves Review

Fifteen months after the book's release, Prince of Wolves continues to receive reviews from readers discovering the line for the first time. This one from Geeklore is among the best written, and it might also be the most positive review of the book I've seen.

Since the reviewer wasn't previously familiar with Pathfinder or Golarion, it could be the perfect review to show someone who's on the cusp about trying the Pathfinder Tales line.

My day, she is made.

Edmonton Signing: Master of Devils

This Saturday at Audrey's Books, I'm reading from Master of Devils and signing both that book, Winter Witch (Elaine says hi!), and Prince of Wolves. Come join us. If you make a good impression, you can join us for a pint afterward.

Master of Devils Chat: August 29

Join us on Monday, August 29, at 9:00 ET (6:00 PT) for an inquisition on the matter of Master of Devils, the latest Pathfinder Tales release. We'll probably also end up discussing Prince of Wolves and the other Radovan & the Count stories.

Le Prince des Loups: Black Book Edition

Among the treasures I found at Gen Con is a beautiful French translation of Prince of Wolves. It looks much like the US edition, with a slightly different title treatment and a crisp reproduction of Dan Scott's cover art. The paper is bright and heavy, and it's just gorgeous.

To call my French "rusty" would flatter me, but I can understand more of the translation than I'd expected. I can't shake the suspicion that I'm a better writer in French.

Thanks to Art Director Damien Coltice and the rest of the Black Book team for making sure a copy came my way.

Weekend Update

I've chosen this week's wuxia recommendation, but I haven't made time to re-screen it since returning from Indianapolis. By the end of the week, I hope to catch up.

Until then, check out the latest Master of Devils interview, this time with Alana Joli of Flames Rising, one of the first sites to review Prince of Wolves last year. Soon they'll also post an essay in which I recommend a few more wuxia films.

Also, the Amazon release date has been sorted out, and are now shipping Master of Devils. The first review has gone up. There are more reviews (including one stinker) at Paizo and a few other sites.

Finally, for those attending When Words Collide in Calgary this weekend, I'll participate in one panel and, if the schedule is corrected, read a few chapters from Master of Devils on Sunday. If you want an extemporaneous reading before that time, the venue is "Bar" and the cost is "cocktail." Also, the fine folks from The Sentry Box will definitely have the new book as well as some of the older ones for sale in the dealer's room.

Before Prince of Wolves

Many first encountered Count Varian Jeggare and his henchman Radovan in Prince of Wolves, but the novel is actually the third story featuring the boys. Originally I created them for a six-part serial appearing in the Council of Thieves Adventure Path.

Now you can buy the novella separately in ePub format. Each story is independent of the others, although "The Lost Pathfinder" leads directly into Prince of Wolves. Here's what's available so far:

“Hell’s Pawns”

“The Lost Pathfinder”*

Prince of Wolves

“A Lesson in Taxonomy”* (in the free Wayfinder #4)

Also check out the other Pathfinder Tales available both free on the Web Fiction tab and in ePub or PDF format in the store. If you like them, please leave a comment or a review.

* Also still available for free at Paizo's Web Fiction page.
