It is my pleasure to finally reveal the cover for the Age of Psiber Knights Volume Three: The Will of the People by Genzoman. I will talk more about the unveiling later when I post about the book release party.

The book will be released in early 2011, probably around January. I will zero in on a better date as it draws near.

I decided to wait until the book release party to show anyone because I wanted to do something special, but it was very difficult.

First, here is the sketch that Genzo sent me based on my description:

Next he showed me the work in progress:

And last, I got the final image. I wanted Gawain's hair to be darker gray and Bobbi's skin to be a darker red:
Genzo is a consummate professional. I am very happy with his output.

A Place to Rule and Book Release News

The book release party for The Age of Psiber Knights Volume Two: Silence Through the Thunder has been pushed back to August. Unfortunately, this means that I will be pushing back the unveiling of the third cover, which has been killing me to keep it secret.

Also, I'd like to announce that a special edition of The Age of Psiber Knights Volume One: A Place to Rule is coming soon. It will be available as a paperback but also on the Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Nobles Nook. I'm wrapping up a new edit on the book and it will be receiving an updated cover as well.

Following is the revised book summary:

In this alternate future the English defeated the American colonist uprising in 1776. By the year 2276 the British Empire spans over half the planet. Their only opposition is the Chinese Communist Collective but for now there is a tentative peace.

As a teenager, Arthur Riddle, a distant relative of the queen, witnessed the bombing of London by unknown attackers which resulted in mass destruction and the death of his friend, Zachariah.

Ten years later, now a knight, he is sent to investigate his brother, Morgan, the newly appointed Lord of New England. Morgan is suspected of massing troops to attack the Chinese, but not all is as it seems.

Back in London Arthur must weather attacks on his homeland, double-crossing, and political intrigue. He discovers deeper conspiracies that threaten the British Empire’s very existence.

Second book summary

The following is the summary that will adorn the back cover of The Age of Psiber Knights Volume II: Silence Through the Thunder and the website.

In this alternate future the English defeated the American colonist uprising in 1776. By the year 2277 the British Empire spans over half the planet. Their only opposition is the Chinese Communist Collective but for now there is a tentative peace.

Sir Arthur Riddle is dispatched to the Caribbean to bring the notorious pirate Cage Lambert to justice. Far removed from the rule of law found in the heart of the Empire, he must seek out unlikely allies and be prepared to make sacrifices he had never considered in order to complete his mandate. Before his ordeal is finished, he must take a journey into the depths of his very soul.

At the same time, the heir to the throne, Princess Crystal, is sent to the other side of the world to investigate a conspiracy that threatens their very way of life. She is aided by the war hero Gawain and the green knight Jonothan. As she works to uncover the threat, she must deal with her growing but forbidden feelings for Jonothan and her mounting dissatisfaction with her society’s traditions.
