Word is that the Mutant Chronicles movie (for which I wrote the novelization) will finally get a theatrical release this year. Magnet Releasing–a division of Magnolia Pictures–picked up the distribution rights, and it plans to have a limited release of the film on April 24. In advance of that, though, the film will be released on HDNet‘s Ultra VOD service …

Run on down to your friendly local bookseller and pick up a copy of your very own–or download an eBook version from your favorite online purveyor of such marvels.

Mutants in the House!
UPS just showed up with a big box o’ books from Random House. I sliced it open to find my author’s copies of my novelization of the upcoming Mutant Chronicles film. There’s nothing like holding a fresh copy of one of your novels in your hand. It has that new-book smell. To celebrate, I found a copy of a movie …
Mutant Chronicles eBooks
Some cool news. My Mutant Chronicles novelization will be published not only in the standard, comforting, smashed-and-bleached-wood-pulp version but also as an eBook and in a Kindle edition. Even though we’ve had PDFs around for years now, this–my 13th novel–will be the first to appear in electrons as well as ink.
Mutant Chronicles Cover
Yesterday, an envelope showed up from Random House (which owns Del Rey) with a short stack of cover flats* for my novelization of the Mutant Chronicles film. The new cover looks great, much better than the original one Del Rey had mocked up. Tom Jane makes a great Mitch Hunter. Better yet, Del Rey has posted an excerpt from the …
Mutant Chronicles at Comic-Con
ICv2.com recently posted an article about the preview showing of the Mutant Chronicles film at Comic-Con. I left the show early and missed it, but I consoled myself with the fact I’ve already seen the film twice. The article also mentions my upcoming novelization and calls me a “bestselling fantasy author.” Who knew?
Mutant Posters
Having just finished another proofing of my novelization of the upcoming Mutant Chronicles film, I poked around the web and found a few new posters for the film. The first shows the film’s cast arranged against some dramatic backlighting. This is my favorite of those I’ve seen so far. Most of the others show a mutant’s boneblade stabbing through a …
Revisions, Revisions
I spent the last week revising things, it seems. This includes the latest draft of the Mutant Chronicles novelization and the final draft of Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #2, both of which I can’t wait to see in print. While revisions are a necessary evil for writers of all stripes, they’re never as much fun as working on the first …
Things to Come
A bit of digging through Amazon.com shows that I have three new books and one repackaged book due to hit shelves this year. First up, we have the novelization of the Mutant Chronicles film. This is listed as shipping August 26, but I wouldn’t put too much faith in that until the film’s release date is set. Still, they have …
Mutant Fugee
A note on ICv2.com today tipped me off to a connection in the Mutant Chronicles cast I hadn’t picked up on before, that of Captain Michaels. It turns out he was played by Pras Michel of the Fugees, and that Pras also helped produce the film. He gave an excellent performance in the film, in a small but important role, …
