Travel back in time to Colonial Boston with THIEFTAKER, D.B. Jackson's critically acclaimed historical urban fantasy!
Thieftaker, book I of D. B. Jackson's Thieftaker Chronicles, is now out and available for purchase from all booksellers! And in addition to many fine reviews, the book is gaining some end-of-the-year recognition. The Word Nerds blog site has named it "Best First Book in a Series" for 2012 (one of two books so honored), and SciFiChick.com has put it on their list of the best SF/Fantasy books of the year! So, if you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?!
The jacket art for Thieves' Quarry, book II of the Thieftaker Chronicles, is now ready, and it looks fantastic. You can see the image in larger format here. Thieves' Quarry will be released on July 2nd, just in time for the July 4th holiday. That same day, Thieftaker will be re-released in paperback.
D.B. Jackson, the pen name of an established, award-winning author, brings a fresh voice to genre fiction. Specializing in historical fantasy, D.B. is the author of the Thieftaker Chronicles, published by Tor Books. The first book in this new series, Thieftaker, was released earlier this year. It was well received critically, went into a second printing in about six weeks, and has been made into an audio book by Audible.com. It is an urban fantasy set in pre-Revolutionary Boston. The second book in the series, Thieves' Quarry, will be published in July 2013. And two more Thieftaker books are now in the works. City of Shades will be released in 2014 and Dead Man's Reach should come out the following year.
D.B. is also the author of "The Tavern Fire," a short story that appears in After Hours: Tales from the Ur-Bar, edited by Joshua Palmatier and Patricia Bray. After Hours is published by DAW and includes fifteen tales of fantasy, history, and intrigue. And now you can read "The Tavern Fire" here, on this site! While you're at it, you can also read a new Thieftaker short story, "The Witch of Dedham," which is only available on this site, or you can listen to a reading of the story by D.B.
D.B. has written two other Thieftaker stories, as well. "A Spell of Vengeance" is the feature story for the week of June 13, 2012 on Tor.com, and "A Memory of Freedom" was the feature story in the March 2012 issue of Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show.
In the months to come, this web page will be updated regularly, not only with blog entries and information about Thieftaker and its sequels, but also with sample chapters from upcoming books in the series, and original short fiction that will only be available here. So please explore the site, check back often, and, of course, enjoy your visit.
