04/30/2008 - MORE BIG NEWS - Antarktos Rising gets Animated! Here's the skinny. Antarktos Rising is going to be made into an animated feature film. But don't think Mickey Mouse or Gummy Bears (if you're a child of the 80s you should recognize that random reference). This is going to be a serious adult anime style movie. Think GHOST IN THE SHELL or AKIRA. High action. Awesome animation. The works.

The movie is tentatively set to be released, worldwide, in Spring 2010. It will probably have a limited release here in the states and a larger release in Asia. But you can bet I'll be heckling my local theater about it until they agree to show it!

I've been a fan of anime since I was a kid watching Robotech, Force Five, Starvengers, Gai-King and Tranzor-Z, so this is really a dream come true. When I wrote the novel I would have never guessed it would be turned into an anime film. It's just too cool!

03/10/2008 - BIG NEWS! I can now confirm that I have landed a THREE BOOK DEAL with Thomas Dunne Books! I've been working on this for a year now and all the hard work has finally paid off. The three books are a series based on a team of Delta Force operatives known as the Chess Team: King, Queen, Rook, Knight, Bishop and their handler, Deep Blue.

The three novels are tentatively titled ROUSE, PULSE and SPEAK. Here's the description of book one published in Publisher's Marketplace:

Jeremy Robinson's, ROUSE, book one of the Chess Team series, combines the twisting plotlines and high adventure of James Rollins with the frantic pacing of Matthew Reilly. The team of Delta Force operatives battle a terrorist-friendly biopharmaceutical company working on human limb regeneration, whose experiments unleash the pinnacle of physical regeneration-the ancient creature known as the Hydra.

This is an amazing, career making deal and I'm thrilled and honored to have been signed by such a great publisher. For those who don't know, Thomas Dunne is, they're an imprint of St. Martin's Press and the publisher of authors like Matthew Reilly, Stel Pavlou and David Lynn Golemon. Now that is good company!

The Myspace page is like an event, featuring videos, a blog, sample chapters from unfinished and not yet published books, contests, photos and more. The Facebook page...not so special, but I'm working on it! One guy can only social network so much. But please give me a holler on either site and join my growing list of friends!

Choose your adventure!

10/10/2007 - OK,  so I didn't win the MediaPredict.com Project Publish  contest, but The Didymus Contingency was a finalist in the contest, and it was a lot of fun.

Ultimately, and perhaps predictably, the publisher—Touchstone, an imprint of Simon&Schuster, chose to publish Hollywood Car Wash, which indeed looks to be a great book. Am I upset about the loss? Not especially. Before entering the contest I checked out Touchstone's line up and there wasn't a thriller among the bunch, let alone a religious thriller, so it was clear from the outset I wouldn't win. But the experience was great and being chosen as a finalist was a nice stamp of approval. It also got some nice media coverage for me, which is free marketing! And I'm always up for that.

08/14/2007 - Raising the Past is now available as a FREE E-BOOK at WOWIO.com. As are most of the other Breakneck Books titles. Antarktos Rising and The Didymus Contingency are not because of some possible upcoming deals.

Why is Raising the Past free? How could I agree to something so obviously insane? There is a lot of information that shows an increase in sales for physical books when the e-book version is given away for free. This is because of word-of-mouth. So, check out Raising the Past from WOWIO.com. Check out all the other Breakneck Books titles. And if you like them, spread the word.

Check out all the Breakneck Titles on WOWIO here, or check out Raising the Past by following the link under the RTP cover image to the left. The only downside of this is that WOWIO books are only available to US residents.


08/02/2007 - Antarktos Rising is now out and available on Amazon.com (and just about everywhere else). The book debuted on Amazon at a whopping 539 sales rank, my highest ever. It was also #6 in Action-Adventure and was highlighted as a Hot New Release. Of course, the best news is that the book is ranked #1 in the Crop Circle category! Wha?! Crop Circle category?! Why does Amazon have a crop circle category and why is Antarktos Rising in it? Strange but true.
