Limited HC/PB editions of my new novella, ODD MAN OUT, are on the way in July (with a wider circulation of trade paperbacks to come at a later date) . . . more details to come very soon! The Black Mountain Camp for Boys. Summer of '89. It is a time for splashing in the lake and exploring the wilderness, for nine teenagers to bond together and create friendships that could last the rest of their lives.
But among this group there is a young man with a secret -- a secret that, in this time and place, is unthinkable to his peers.
When the others discover the truth, it will change each of them forever. They will all have blood on their hands.
ODD MAN OUT is a heart-wrenching tale of bullies and bigotry, a story that explores what happens when good people don't stand up for what's right. It is a tale of how far we have come . . . and how far we still have left to go. "James Newman's ODD MAN OUT is sweet and wise and dipped in golden shades of nostalgia. It's also stark and brutal and ultimately heart breaking -- you'll never forget it." -- Richard Chizmar (Editor-in-Chief, Cemetery Dance Publications; author of A LONG DECEMBER; co-screenwriter of MASTERS OF HORROR: "The Washingtonians")

Any word on the availability james ? I don't want to miss out. Thanks man. This made my morning, bud -- thanks so much for your interest. The contract has been signed, and I've seen the cover art (it's fantastic!), but no announcement from the publisher yet. This first edition is going to be very limited, I can say that -- 52 signed hardcovers and 100 paperbacks. I'm told they're still on track for July, so I would expect an official announcement and ordering details very soon. Please to report that I just signed a contract with another publisher for the trade paperback and e-book . . . that will hit around December and will stay in print as long as it continues to sell. More to come, as soon as I can give specific details (and a link), I promise!

It doesn't really have anything to do with my BOOKS, per se, but I thought I'd share this here since endo was cool enough to give me my own stickied thread a while back: Very excited about a new project I finished this past weekend. It's a screenplay tentatively titled STILL WATERS. I was contacted about a month ago by a fellow my wife went to school with -- he's an amateur filmmaker who's read my books, loved them, and said he was looking for someone to write his next short film. He reached out to me because he wanted to do a horror/suspense project with an eye toward submitting it to festivals this fall. We struck up a deal, I've turned in the first draft (he loved it), and we're meeting this evening to chat further. It's scheduled to shoot in late July. Fun stuff! I've dabbled in this medium a little bit before, but not much. It's always very cool to see your words come to life in front of a camera! If anyone's interested, I'll definitely share a link here once the final product is ready for public viewing.
