I LOVE Indiana Jones. The only thing that could make him more awesome would be adding a little Jackie Chan action. --Or maybe a little Zen...as in Kanze Zenjiro.
And since I'm such a huge fan of action, today I have the privilege of revealing Jay Noel's BRAND SPANKIN NEW COVER. Lucky me! Are you ready for this awesomeness?
DRUM ROLL!
The
Mechanica Wars: Savage Machines Are Afoot...
At the age of
twenty, Kanze Zenjiro's bloody footprints mark the bodies of those who stood
in his way to protect the throne of Nihon. Now, the tyrannical Iberian Empire
is bent on destroying his kingdom, and they send their steam-powered giants and
iron spiders against him.
Zen embarks
on a quest that takes him on the most dangerous journey of his life. To
succeed, Zen must live up to his nickname, the Dragonfly Warrior, and
kill all his enemies with only a sword and a pair of six-guns. He is called
upon to somehow survive a test of faith and loyalty in a world so cruel and
merciless, it borders on madness.
Dragonfly Warrior is a steampunk adventure like no other. It's a dynamic mix of Asian and European mythology, the Wild West, martial arts, traditional fantasy, and high powered steam action that will keep you turning the pages.
Dragonfly Warrior is the first book of The Mechanica Wars, and will debut on January 6, 2014.
I love Jay's cover, it's so awesome! And I love Indiana Jones and Cheese. You'll be my friend, right? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Of course!
DeleteYay for Jay! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is one bad-ass cover!!! Congrats to Jay!
ReplyDeleteWow, he's all over the place today! A little zen to anything adds depth, wisdom and spice. I'm all for it.

ReplyDelete:) Yay!
DeleteWow, that book is everywhere today. Here's hoping that it becomes a best-seller.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome.
DeleteThat intro was fantastic! Of course I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan. I really worked hard to put a lot of fun action in this book, without over-indulging, of course. I wanted my cover to reflect that, and I think the artist, Enggar Adirasa, did a fantastic job doing just that. Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteCan you over-indulge in action? I don't think so. :)
DeleteIt's a great cover.
Now this book sounds so cool, and I love that warrior on the cover. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteDid you see that Big Bang Theory episode about Indiana Jones? Was funny... :)
I don't watch Big Bang Theory, but now you've got got me curious. I'm going to have to check it out!
DeleteLoved it when they added a load of Sean Connery to the Indiana films! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to Zen and his amazing and dangerous adventures! Take care

DeleteAhhh this sounds awesome! I love Indiana Jones, steampunk, and Zen.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just wanted to let you know that I am a writer again! I went through a really weird time where I was afraid to write and I figured if I wasn't writing and facing my fear, it was like it wasn't there and it wasn't a problem. But now it's NaNo, and I just want to write everyday, blog every weekday, and enjoy being creative again. Thanks for your support! You don't understand how much it means. :)
Yay! So glad you're back to it. I remember that Titanic ghost story I read a snippet of years ago. You are very talented and BETTER keep writing.
DeleteThe cover looks cool. Haven't heard of this before... so thanks for something new :)

Ah! I need to pop over and say hello! So good to hear from you. :)

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a Steampunk novel fusing Asian and Western mythology. Very intrigued.
