I wanted to share a quick roundup of great reviews of the book. And also appeal to you if you’ve read the book to go leave a quick review on the Amazon page. With a few dozen more reviews, Amazon will promote the book in a way that we can get the book out to more people. I would be so appreciative of the time you take out to add your recommendation:

Reviews:

-We got an outstanding book review from Dread Central, one of the biggest horror sites,“One glorious badass story that will keep you wanting more.”

-Rave review in Diabolique Magazine: “Smart and engrossing...Duncan adroitly takes a preposterous theme to giddy heights, and tells a damn good story in the process.”

-Review on Bibliosanctum: “Suspenseful and literally explosive... an imaginative book with a dash of pulp and quirkiness.”

I also wrote a "Big Idea" post on John Scalzi’s fantastic blog if you’d like to take a look. http://whatever.scalzi.com/2016/10/28/the-big-idea-patrick-sheane-duncan/ 

Thanks again for any Amazon reviews you can add,

The Catcher is knocking at your doors!

The official publication day is tomorrow, but many of you received today your copy of The Catcher’s Trap!  Those of you who have not receive your book yet will get it this week.

I truly hope that you enjoy the book. The Catcher’s Trap is a dark tale of struggle and inner strength. I believe that beyond the supernatural aspects we can all relate to the journey these characters experience.

Some critics are loving it, some critics not so much, but they all agree on one thing, The Catcher’s Trap is entertaining and a fast pace quick read. Please add your voice to those critics. Once you are finished reading the book, leave an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads and Barnes and Noble.

Reviews are key to the success of the book. (my husband Tom, checking out a great book)

I want to leave you with a fun story. I spent this past weekend in New York and, of course, I had to stop by at Union Square’s Barnes and Noble. Guess what I found on the third floor, in a display called “New Sci-Fi,” of course The Catcher’s Trap.

It was so surreal and so empowering. Just seeing my book on the shelves of one of the biggest bookstores in New York made every single sacrifice and struggle to publish this book worth it.

And for that, I thank you.

Have a fantastic week! 

Greetings! 

 

Just a quick update today. I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween and engaged in the acquisition of wine and treats! I couldn’t post it last week, so, even if it’s a bit late... here is an article I wrote for Geek & Sundry about Legends of Halloween. 

As for me, activities over the past week netted me this picture: (Painting by Eric Vernor)

 

As for Seventh Age news:

• Today we are hosting The Second City Shuffle, a one-night Live Action game set in the world of the Seventh Age. I’ll be posting pictures in the next update. 
  
• We’ve got all our early blurbs and endorsements in, and the cover is being finalized. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read this early! I’m saving the actual quotes until we get closer to launch date.
• NanoWrimo is underway, and I’m working on the creation of a cyberpunk world for a game. It’s pretty damn neat!
• My sequel, Seventh Age: Dystopia is fully outlined with scene by scene, chapter, and character guides. I’m applying new techniques that I learned over the course of writing the first book!

Alright. That’s it! I’m off to go be a massive geek and roleplay Patrick O’Neil for a night!
