Reynold de Burgh: The Dark Knight is being released in the UK on March 1. Check out the cover, which I like better than the North American one!

The Gentleman's Quest is being released in Italy in March! Thanks to Alessandra Nuvo Franciosi for letting me know. :)

My upcoming release has a title! I just got the news from my editor that they've decided on Glory and the Rake. No pub date yet, but I'll post when I know more.
