FAQ: Book Five News & How To Get Books Signed

After considerable confusion on my part considering the release date for Book #5 in the Destroyermen Series, “Rising Tides,” I’ve definitively confirmed that it will be released in February!  I don’t know why I thought it was earlier than that.  Too much going on I guess.  I always remember my anniversary too; but after 20 years, I still manage to “remember it wrong!”  Every year!!!  Must be some mental block!  Ha!

Also, I get a lot of contacts asking if I’ll sign books sent to me.  I’m honored to do so.  Get in touch with me through the “contact” feature, and I’ll give you detailed instructions!  (Please remember to send sufficient return postage!)

New Extras!

We hope you are enjoying the new book!

To celebrate the release, we’ve posted some new “extras” for you to peruse over on the main author page.

As always, feel free to leave comments and send email to Taylor through the contact page. He loves reading mail and thoughts about the series!

Destroyermen: Maelstrom (Book 3)

Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy, along with the men and women of Walker, are once again at war. Having sided with the peaceful Lemurians against the savage, reptilian Grik, they now find themselves scrambling to prepare for the attack that is sure to come, searching for resources to support their forces—even as they look for allies to join their struggle.

Meanwhile, the Japanese juggernaut Amagi, also trapped in this strange world, is under Grik control—with her fanatical commander approaching madness. And soon they will have amassed a force that no amount of firepower and technology will be able to stop.

As the raging conflict approaches, Reddy, his crew, his allies, and his loved ones face annihilation. But if there is one thing they have learned about their new world, it is that hope—and help—may be just over the horizon.

“Anderson has brought a fresh new perspective to the tale of crosstime shipwreck.” —–S.M. Stirling

ConDFW Update

Taylor is sad to announce that due to some scheduling conflicts with ConDFW on February 12-14th, he will not be able to attend. This is bittersweet news as he had a lot of fun last year and hopes to attend again. We hope if you were planning on going to the convention, you still have a wonderful time!

Please check back on the blog for any appearances Taylor may make in the future. Hard at work at in the finishing stages of book 5,  he’ll have lots to talk about once he emerges from the squall.

New Cover Art for Book Four: Distant Thunders

As a few of you have pointed out via email and comments, Amazon has the cover art already uploaded on the presale page.  So I figured I’d post it here as well.  Here is the cover for the next book in the Destroyermen series. As of right now, publication date is in June and the blog will be updated with specifics as we draw closer to release.

We also have  some news on the audio book version, and will update when those details are confirmed as well.

So what do you think?

 

Panelist at ConDFW 2010

For those of you in the Dallas/FT.Worth, Texas area, Taylor will be attending ConDFW as a panelist. Here are a few pictures taken of his appearance there last year. It was a lot of fun and he looks forward to attending this time.

As you can clearly see, there is a lot of fun to be had at a Convention. From interesting genre talks to book signings. If you are around February 12-14th, please consider saying hello!

The New & Improved Contact Form

We must apologize!

The contact form on the old blog seems to have been acting a little funny. Like a Grik, it’d eat your email to Taylor before he ever got to see it. If you’ve tried to send anything  via the old contact form and weren’t successful, we invite you to send again.

Contact Taylor Here.

There is a contact tab at the top of this page as well, so you’ll never lose it!

In other blog news, we were able to recover all of the comments from the old blog, which has now been shut down. We are working hard to transfer all that original content.

Now that we’re up and running again, you can expect more cosmetic changes and neat things to pop up!

Thanks again for reading The Destroyermen Books!
