I’m happy to announce that “The Threshold,” the sequel to “The Forgotten” (which I announced [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=685899)) is now available for sale! Here’s the blurb: ======== **The Evil was only the beginning…** It’s been less than a month since Jason Thayer, his sister Verity, and mage Alastair Stone discovered a monstrous conspiracy to take over our world one mind at a time. The battle in San Francisco struck a major blow—but it didn’t eliminate the threat. Not even close. Where do the Evil come from? How did they get here? As Jason, Verity, and Stone delve deeper into these questions, they make a shocking discovery about the nature of the Evil—and what happened five years ago that brought them into our dimension. What they find sends them on a desperate cross-country race from the wilds of West Virginia to the dark neon wonderland of Las Vegas as they attempt to stop the Evil at its source before it’s too late. # From a new colony of Forgotten to a powerful and mysterious gray mage with unclear motives, they will find help in their efforts—but will it be enough? If you liked the first one, I hope you’ll check out this sequel, which is the second book of the trilogy. If you haven’t checked out the first one and you enjoy dark urban fantasy with a side of horror, please do! You can find The Threshold [here](http://www.amazon.com/Threshold-Forgotten-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B00D55MG2C/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1370271542&sr=1-1&keywords=the+threshold+r+l+king)for Kindle and [here](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-threshold-r-l-king/1115474443?ean=2940016532103)for Nook. The hardcopy version will be out in the next few days, after I finish checking over the proof. As always, if you read them and enjoy them, I would love you forever if you’d leave me a review on Amazon and/or [BN.com](http://BN.com). 🙂 ---

Tried the sample, enjoyed it, so bought the first book and should be onto the 2nd by tonight 🙂 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but for some reason on my Kindle, both the sample and the full book displayed in REALLY small font size…to make it readable I had to go to the 2nd-largest font that Kindle uses. Not a big deal but thought I’d let you know. (This also happened in Kindle for Mac, same thing.) ---

Woo, glad you’re enjoying it! Sorry about the Kindle thing…not sure how to fix it since I did use their tool to generate it, but I’ll look into it when I get back from Gen Con. ---

Happened to me as well Rabbit. No biggie…just have to make it big. Was a real surprise when I finished Forgotten (YES, I finished it! only 2 months after I bought it!) and loaded another book and, like 2 large words were on it 🙂 Ok, so have to go buy the second book now. WHAT!!! 4 BUCKS! OUTRAGEOUS!..ok ok bought it. 🙂 ---
