[QUOTE=Algher] OK - the first bar makes me think of the late, lamented Blank Club. I also know the Fairmont bar quite well. [/QUOTE] Haha! I forgot you’re local. Honestly, I’ve never been to the Fairmont bar, but I assumed it would be a reasonable choice for something a bit more upscale in downtown SJ. Glad I didn’t screw it up. 🙂 ---

Just a little plug: the entire series (7 books) is on sale for 99 cents each through Monday. So if you’ve been thinking about picking them up, this is a good time. Book 8 will be released in mid-December. ---

I got busy and forgot to update this, but [Book 8](https://www.amazon.com/Flesh-Stone-Alastair-Chronicles-Book-ebook/dp/B01N9H1B3K) is now available through all the usual locations, including Amazon. This one is a “prequel” of sorts, and even though it’s Book 8 in the series, it would make an excellent jumping-in point for new readers. ---

Forgot to post this a while back, but [Book 9](https://www.amazon.com/Infernal-Heart-Alastair-Stone-Chronicles-ebook/dp/B06XKQK5T8/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) has been available since March. Also, the [Boxed Set](https://www.amazon.com/Alastair-Stone-Chronicles-Box-Set-ebook/dp/B01AIVV6U8) (books 1-4) is on sale through next week for 99 cents, so if you’ve had any interest in checking out the series, this would be a great time to do it. ---

Dresden Files fan, I grabbed your boxed set. Plan to start it this week. I like the few reviews I read. If they’re good I’ll get the rest. ---

I finished the first book and I’m onto the second. They’re pretty good, I’ve read \*\*a lot \*\*of fantasy fiction (modern day or otherwise) and this is better than most. I’ve got a lot of friends into this stuff and I’ll spread the word. ---

Finished the box set so I had to buy the others (up to book 9). I also convinced a friend to buy the first 4 box set. I really dig these books. 🙂 ---

For those following at home, [Book 10, THE OTHER SIDE](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073C7M1LZ), was released today! Also, the audiobooks will start coming much faster now. Book 2 should be out within a week or so (depending on how fast Amazon releases it) and the next ones will be coming as fast as we can produce them (probably 6 weeks - 2 months apart). ---

Forgot I didn’t update this thread for the new book. Book 11, [PATH OF STONE](https://www.amazon.com/Path-Stone-Novel-Alastair-Chronicles-ebook/dp/B075QZR1NP), is out now. It’s a flashback story, detailing Stone’s early apprenticeship (and how he almost lost it). It’s getting great reviews. The audiobooks are up to book 5, now, and book 6 is almost finished recording. ---
