The Devil You Don’t Know RELEASED
It is live! The Devil You Don’t Know is now available for purchase on all platforms. I’m hoping that some of you have already delved in and gotten hooked. http://www.amazon.com/Devil-Dont-Know-American-Praetorians-ebook/dp/B00V56OFQI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1435075644&sr=8-3&keywords=peter+nealen http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-devil-you-dont-know-peter-nealen/1122107089?ean=2940151965682 Thanks to the pre-orders, it’s up pretty far on the Amazon Kindle sales ranks right now, hitting the top 100 in both Organized Crime and Military thrillers.
Lots Happening
So, the audiobook of Task Force Desperate is almost finished; a few final pickups and it will be ready to go. It’ll be on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes exclusively. The Devil You Don’t Know releases in 11 more days. The final versions are all uploaded, and it will be on Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple iBooks, and Kobo (yes, I’ve actually sold a few books on Kobo), as well as paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I just got the paperback proof today: Coming up, I’m starting in on outlining The Walker on the Hills, the next Jed Horn story. There’s another project that might be in the works, but I don’t want to say too much about it yet. Suffice it to say, I’m looking forward to sinking my teeth into it, one way or another.
Audiobooks and Other Coming Attractions
So, there is indeed going to be an audiobook of Task Force Desperate. I’ve reached an agreement with Wyntner Woody, and he is presently in the process of producing the book. He nailed the tone in the audition, and the first fifteen minutes that he sent me was just as good, if not better. I think you’re going to like this. Hopefully we can make an arrangement to keep him working on the rest of the series. We’ve even already got the cover art for the audiobook set up: I’ve taken stock of a bunch of projects that are presently lined up. I’ve got a lot of work to do. I’ve got at least three (most likely more) more Praetorian novels in mind. There’s a stand-alone pirate hunting story, partially inspired by Far Cry 3, just without the douchey affluent jackass trying to be meta about violence and gaming part. Three more Jed Horn stories are lined up. And I’ve had a sort of sword-and-sorcery story that’s been kicking around for about three or four years, that has now expanded into its own setting, with at least three stories set out in broad strokes there. Finally, I’ve got a hard-SF
Audiobooks Might Be On The Way
I’ve just posted Task Force Desperate on ACX for auditions to turn it into an audiobook. I don’t have the time or the setup to do it myself, so hopefully I can find a producer/narrator who is interested in giving it a shot for half the royalties. If anyone knows a vet who is working on getting into voice work who would be interested, please point them to TFD on ACX. If this works out, it will be out on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Fingers crossed. Update: Realized it might help to include a link to ACX in case anyone is interested in trying out. Go here and get set up if you’ve got an audio setup and time. No guarantees I’ll accept, but what have you got to lose?
Nightmares Drawing Complete
Congratulations to Conner Byrket and Tim Byrket. They will be receiving signed paperback copies of Nightmares in the mail.
Nightmares Released
Nightmares is out! One Brush With The Darkness… That’s all it took. Now, years before a Fallen Angel is nearly unleashed upon the town of Silverton, Jed Horn is merely a troubled former Marine who is haunted by nightmares of the terrible being that slaughtered his comrades that night in the Iraqi desert. Desperate for answers and proof that he’s not crazy, Jed has gone down some dangerous roads, and attracted the attention of forces just as malicious as the one that started him on the path. But when he’s found by a priest and a Witch Hunter of the Order of the Silver Cross, Jed has a chance to find the answers he’s looking for, as well as fight back against the darkness that he’d never been sure even existed. As he embarks on this timeless war, he first has to confront the forces that have focused on him during his search… It’s available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple. The paperback was up on Amazon last night, but is MIA at the moment, as Amazon sorts itself out. This is pretty standard, I’m afraid. It should be back up in the next 24 hours.
Ready to Roll
Final edits on Nightmares are done, and the final version was uploaded for Kindle, Paperback, and Smashwords (which will translate to Nook and iBooks) last night. We are on track for January 15. Kindle pre-order is here. Work is proceeding on outlining the next Praetorian book, now with the working title, That Sneaky Devil.
