I'm often asked what books/authors I would recommend
from readers who have read all of my books and are looking for more good
reads. If you're one of those folks and are looking for a good read, I
have provided my top 40 picks for novels by some of my favorite
authors. Enjoy.
Just wanted to share the trailer for SecondWorld, my upcoming hardcover novel from Thomas Dunne Books. This is by far my best trailer yet. Hope you enjoy it, too. And if you want to pre-order the book, you can get it on Amazon. Or get it at Barnes & Noble.
It’s with great pleasure and relief that I can announce that Kane Gilmour, co-author of CALLSIGN: DEEP BLUE (which many Chess Team readers have raved about) will also be co-authoring the next full length Chess Team novel, RAGNAROK (click here for higher res cover image). We’re already hard at work banging out the plot, which is one of my most ambitious yet and will feature a nemesis far beyond anything King and crew have faced before. We’ll also learn the answers to many of the questions left open at the end of THRESHOLD.
Picture this. I’m standing in front of an eager throng of reporters. I’m well dressed and looking far more metrosexual than usual. All eyes are on me, desperate for information…about someone else—Jeremy Bishop. Who is this dashing writer who appeared out of nowhere and became a #1 Amazon.com horror author overnight? His first novel, TORMENT, is loathed by an angry few and adored by many. But he’s a mystery. No one knows who he is, or where he came from and yet, I know him, I promote his books, and claim to be his “friend.” It’s reminiscent of how Peter Parker always happens to get the best pictures of Spiderman. So the questions come to the only potential source of information available to the world. Me. And the question everyone is asking is: Who is Jeremy Bishop?
Every now and then I feature a book by a friend, in this case Jeremy Bishop, whose novel, TORMENT, was previously featured here. Bishop is back with his second novel, THE SENTINEL, and it’s as awesome as the first, but far less serious and is, at times, as funny as it is frightening. And a lot of our mutual fans will be happy to know that the ending in THE SENTINEL won’t make readers as…angry? Rage-filled? Consumed with personal guilt? Heh. Story description is below, but don’t even bother reading it. Just go buy it! If you like my books, you’re going to feel right at home with Bishop… E-book only right now, but I hear print is coming by October.
CALLSIGN: KING is the first of five novellas, each one focussing on a different member of the Chess Team. Like the full length novels, these stories are fast-paced and full of myths, monsters and mayhem. Each book is co-authored by one of five different authors, each selected by me for their ability to write gripping fast-paced and scary stories combining ancient history, modern science and brilliant action sequences. If you’re a fan of the Chess Team novels, you’re going to love the novellas.
