Books half off while they last

Prices at the big tag sale at McBooks Press are down to half off, so get on over before the sale ends on January 19. McBooks is getting out of the book-selling business to concentrate on publishing their fine line of historicals, including (as we mentioned last time) my own Matty Graves series of America sea adventures, the most excellent Otto Prohaska books by John Biggins, the Saxon Chronicles and the Richard Sharpe novels by Bernard Cornwell, and the Bernie Gunther Nazi-era noir detective thrillers by Philip Kerr.

As ever, I’m happy to inscribe any novels you care to send my way. Especially ones that I wrote.
