This summer he has a hardcover release coming [you can already pre-order for your collections] called Pressure. From the publisher:
Off the coast of tropical Mauritius, an ecological catastrophe with global implications is occurring. The ocean's floor is collapsing at a rapid rate. World-champion free diver and marine biologist Carrie Anderson joins a scientific expedition determined to discover the cause-and how to stop it. But what they uncover is even more horrific. Deep beneath the surface, something is awake. Something hungry. Something...cold. Now, the pressure builds as Carrie and her colleagues must contend with the murderous operatives of a corrupt corporation, an unnatural disaster that grows bigger by the day, and a monstrous predator that may spell the extinction of all mankind.
Jaws meets Alien in this hot new thriller from bestselling author and World Horror Grandmaster Award winner Brian Keene. Pressure is the perfect summer read for fans of Michael Crichton and Douglas Preston.This looks fantastic! The book is getting a big push by the publisher. Brian plans to go on his largest book tour ever and he wants to come to your library! FOR FREE!!! All you have to do is buy 10 copies of the book. That is way cheaper than most major author fees.
There are no other strings here. Brian is a huge supporter of libraries and really wants to thank us for supporting him over the years. And, this is going to be a huge summer read. It is a book people will be talking about. Why not take advantage now and set up a visit.
[By the way, this is exactly how I nabbed Gillian Flynn at my old library for free. I noticed the early buzz on Gone Girl and contacted her [we had met once before at a Karin Slaughter event and she lives in Chicago], set up an appearances, and....it turned out she was at our library the week the novel hit #1. Video of our interview here.]
You can click here for Brian’s original post where explains how you get in on this deal. I have also embedded the post below.
But first, one final note, Brian also has a weekly podcast-- The Horror Show With Brian Keene. Brian and his friends have a lot of fun during these recordings [and curse freely for those of you who that might bother] but they also provide great content. You can hear Brian and his guests, all of them horror authors worth knowing, discuss books, the genre, the state of the publishing world, and much more. If you want an inside look at publishing and the life of authors, IN ANY GENRE, this is a great insider resource.
I particularly enjoyed their interview with Paul Tremblay, author and juror for the Shirley Jackson Awards [an award I have professed my love for many times], and then, in a later podcast, their spoiler filled discussion of his book, A Head Full of Ghosts. It was a real discussion of the book, its writing, its appeal, and its meaning.
Attention all librarians, you should have A Head Full of Ghosts in your collections. You should be promoting it to readers. It is this year’s Bird Box.
One more “authors who podcast” post tomorrow. But please scroll down to read Brian’s full offer.
If there is one thing that has been a constant in my almost 20-year career, it is signings and speaking engagements. I’ve been lucky enough to sign or speak in 45 of 50 states, as well as Canada. This would not have been possible without the help of an enthusiastic and dedicated group of booksellers and librarians. Indeed, I owe my success to their efforts. As I said on a recent episode of my podcast, a writer should always be grateful to their readers and fans, but they should be equally grateful to the booksellers and librarians who guide those readers toward them.
I am in the early stages of planning a signing/speaking tour for Summer 2016, in support of PRESSURE, my new trade hardcover forthcoming from Thomas Dunne Books (Macmillan). The tour will run from the end of June to the end of August. I intend for this to be my most extensive promotional tour ever, crossing as much of the continental US as I can. To do that, I need your help.
If you are an independent or chain bookseller in the continental United States who would like to host a signing or speaking engagement in your store, and can commit to ordering a minimum of thirty (30) copies of PRESSURE, please send an email to bkbooksellers@outlook.com. You are not being asked to pay travel costs, lodging, or anything like that. I’m simply looking for venues to sign/speak in. You open your store to me and my readers, and I’ll handle getting there. In your email, tell me about your store and where you are located (city and state).
If you are a librarian in the continental United States who would like to host a signing or speaking engagement in your library, and can commit to ordering a minimum of ten (10) copies of PRESSURE, please send an email to bkbooksellers@outlook.com. You are not being asked to pay travel costs, lodging, or anything like that. I’m simply looking for venues to sign/speak in. You open your library to me and my readers, and I’ll handle getting there. In your email, tell me about your library and where you are located (city and state).
Thank you in advance. I look forward to working with you.
