I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
The thing about pre-orders: If you pre-order thru an indie bookstore (which generally doesn't cost you up-front!) it is HUGE for the lifeblood of the book, it is a boost to authors, the publisher, and the booksellers who steward this life. It's a little thing but it's meaningful should this inspire!

You may know @paolobacigalupi.bsky.social from The Wind-Up Girl and The Water Knife, but in Navola he tackles high fantasy politics and dragons' eyes. You can read the excerpt now!

Look at this super intricate illustrated cover for #DaysOfShatteredFaith by @aptshadow.bsky.social! An amazing job once again by Joe Wilson. The third Tyrant Philosophers book is now available to pre-order (but don't worry, it can be read as standalone)!
The cover is out for the third Tyrant Philosophers book! Another masterpiece from Joe Wilson. Days of Shattered Faith can be read independently or as part of the series. Diplomacy, politics and war. Sometimes being a good person isn't enough, if you're working for the bad guys...
