Mynovel Conan: Spawn of the Serpent God comes out this Tuesday, Oct. 27,2025. I had a blast writing this book, and I can’t wait to find out whatreaders think of it! My editor at Titan loves it, as do the folks at HeroicSignatures, who currently hold the license to produce Conan stories in comicsand prose.
