Get ready for Nickel City Con!

By

Nickel City Con arrives this Friday! This is the largest show in the Western New York area, and I cannot wait to see you there.

Nickel City Con

Who is on your list to see? (My kids are all about Dan Fogler from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. They think this is the coolest thing ever.)

The guest-list is great. The artists going to this show are top-notch. Freakin’ Jim Starlin is going to be at the con. The man who created Thanos! (Can you tell I’m excited?) But, yeah, Ken Lashley and Bart Sears are on the list to attend as well. Crazy talented guys and well worth a visit for some signed books and a chat.

Everything you want in a show is here for you.

Comics. Pop culture. Gaming. HorrorFest. So much to do and only three days to fit it in.

I’ll be there too…

Oh, yeah. Be sure to stop by my table for your signed copies of Greystone and DSA. I want to see you there! Talk to me. Let me talk your ear off, because I will. It’s going to be three days of fun.

Where are we talking?

The Buffalo Niagara Convention Center is hosting the event. (153 Franklin Street, Buffalo, NY) June 30th through July 2nd. Head over to https://nickelcitycon.com and check out all the activities on the docket.

See you there!

Hammer and Anvil Cover Reveal

By

Just a short missive today. It was a whirlwind weekend at the Nickel City Con and I’m in recovery mode. What a great show. If you made it and picked up a book, you have my thanks. I hope you enjoyed the experience and that your first dip into the Greystone world is a good one.

What comes next is going to be even better!

Hammer and Anvil Cover Reveal

This was never meant to be. When I originally conceived the training period pieces describing Soriya’s formative years they were always smaller in my mind. Short stories akin to those found in Tales from Portents or Pathways in the Dark – 8 chapters, in and out, with a brief nod to the larger story at play.

They would come out one per year and only for newsletter subscribers. Easy peasy.

Then I started outlining. The story grew. The pieces became more intricate and the narrative took over.

I couldn’t be happier with how it is coming together and wanted to share the cover design as soon as I received it!

A special thanks to Marraii Design for the phenomenal job at putting this together. Nat is a true artist and takes such care to hit all the right beats with her covers.

Release Info

I’m still nailing down a specific date but you can expect Hammer and Anvil to come out in early October of this year! It’s going to be a crazy month but I am so freaking excited.

Let me know what you think of the cover at lou@loupaduano.com. I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!

I will be at Nickel City Con this year! Will you?

I’m really hoping you’ll be able to make it to see me at the Nickel City Con in a couple weeks. It’s going to be a HUGE 3 day show at the Buffalo Convention Center with hundreds of guests lined up.

I can’t believe the number of comic creators and celebrities they’ve managed to snag for this one.

Don’t believe me? Take a peek at the special guests for the show.

Ross Marquand alone makes it worth it for me. You did see his rendition of the Red Skull in Avengers: Infinity War right? (INCREDIBLE)

Tickets are on sale now for the show. Pre-Order prices are still in effect and save you $5 for a one-day pass and $15 for the three day pass. Find out more here.

I’m a little excited if you can’t tell…

There is a buzz around this show like no other. Everyone seems to be aware of it and wants to attend. I hope you’ll make the trek and visit. I’ll be part of the HorrorFest show on the first floor with another good author friend of mine, James Alan Ross.

Check out his books below.

Forevergreen

The first day of seventh-grade brings news that sends fear through the entire student body: the new girl is missing. The once-innocent halls now harbor echoes of broken relationships, secret romances, invasive police officers, and the question asked with glances and whispers:

What happened to Sissy Daniels?

The trees behind Lakewood Pines Middle School hold deep, dark secrets…

 

The Haunting of Dylan Klaypool Book One – Whispers in Black Willow

To hear the truth, she must listen to the silence.

Dylan Klaypool’s dark history has her searching for answers that can only be found down a single path: paranormal investigation. Battling demons from her past, the high school junior’s obsession with proving the existence of ghosts has become the only consistent aspect of her troubled life.

Now living with her estranged grandmother in a new town and attending a new school, Dylan’s focus has not wavered. And the boarded up, abandoned house she discovered on Cemetery Road might hold the key that can unlock the secrets that have long haunted her.

Book Two arrives this October!

Both are only $0.99 right now on Amazon for the ebook.  Learn more about the books and the author!
