Red Right Hand: Release Day, Advance Review Round-up, and Content Warnings

Posted on 2020-11-102020-11-10 by Chris Tullbane

Release Day After a year that has lasted approximately four decades, it’s hard to believe that we’ve finally made it to the release of Red Right Hand. Another adventure in the Post-Break world. Another chapter in Damian’s story. And a whole lot more bloodshed, triumph, and defeat… because it just wouldn’t be a Murder of…

The Stats Behind Red Right Hand

Posted on 2020-10-292020-10-27 by Chris Tullbane

With the release of Red Right Hand just over a week away, I thought it would be fun to once again share some quick, mainly ridiculous, stats about the book.

All numbers provided here represent my best guesses after a less-than-careful review of the manuscript, and I reserve the right to be proven utterly incorrect by eagle-eyed readers. I’ve also tried to keep things spoiler-free.

Red Right Hand: Chapter 5

Posted on 2020-10-272020-10-27 by Chris Tullbane

Sitting on the bench on the west side of campus, eyes closed as I listened to the distant sounds of the ocean, I felt as much as heard her approach. Heavy steps, no pause as she cleared the tree line and found me sitting there, not even a sigh as she came and dropped onto the bench next to me.

“Hey Silt. Welcome back.”

“You know, if you keep coming out here to stare at the edge of the world, people are going to talk.”

Red Right Hand: Chapter 4

Posted on 2020-10-222020-10-27 by Chris Tullbane

With only fifteen second-years present, it didn’t take long to get through the fights. I was the odd man out; lucky number fifteen. Other than Jeremiah, who remained in the med ward, the second-years had all cycled back into the viewing room after their respective Healings. Nikolai let the silence and anticipation build, that smile still wide on his square-jawed face.

“Paladin,” he finally barked. “You’re up.”

Paladin vs. Walker.

Again.

Guess we all saw that one coming.

Red Right Hand: Chapter 3

Posted on 2020-10-202020-10-27 by Chris Tullbane

There wasn’t much to our sub-dorm. A small kitchen was just past the common room, while four bedrooms and a bathroom were off the long hall.

One bathroom, and a small one at that. Growing up at Mama Rawlins’ orphanage told me that was going to be annoying.

Red Right Hand: Chapter 2

Posted on 2020-10-152020-10-27 by Chris Tullbane

As I left the woods, the sound of orientation hit me like a Titan’s fist; music and cheering and a godawful number of eighteen-year-olds relishing their first day away from Mommy and Daddy. For the normals who formed the bulk of the Academy’s student body, it was a day of celebration.

The Powers who made up the incoming class of first-years weren’t getting a party. They were in an auditorium near the center of campus, where Dean Bard was telling them they were all going to die. Welcome to life as a Cape in the only democracy left in North America. Shit’s not easy. Even making it to graduation isn’t a guarantee.

Red Right Hand: Chapter 1

Posted on 2020-10-132020-10-27 by Chris Tullbane

My father murdered my mom when I was five.

Thirteen years later, I quit superhero school to return the favor.

I’d say that’s when everything went to hell, but that would be a lie. Hell is seeing your mom’s blood spread across the kitchen floor. Everything that comes after is just life. You either survive it or you don’t.

I’m a survivor.

Red Right Hand: Cover Reveal

Posted on 2020-09-242020-09-23 by Chris Tullbane

Hello everyone!

While I’m still editing Red Right Hand, some eagle-eyed individuals recently noticed that a pre-order listing had appeared on Amazon. Whoops! With that in mind, this seemed like a great time to publicly announce the release date and reveal the new book’s cover!

The cover design process for Red Right Hand was surprisingly drama free.  I had a good idea what I wanted, going in, and my cover designers knocked it out of the park on their very first try! I think it will look great next to See These Bones on a bookshelf, and can only hope that you all like it as much as I do!

Without further ado, here it is:

August, If We Must

Posted on 2020-08-312020-08-31 by Chris Tullbane

Ah, August. Hot, sweaty August. When I lived in Spain, it was the month when everyone left Madrid for vacation, and the city was flooded with tourists. Twenty-five years later, it’s most notable (to me) for being the birth month of my angel-wife, and that’s more than enough to make me love it, even when it’s so hot outside that the asphalt wants to cook you from the feet up.

I haven’t seen much in the way of asphalt this month. Or the outside in general. Part of that is the continuing pandemic–didn’t I post back in June that things were getting back to normal?!–but mostly, I’ve just been trying to finish my latest book, Red Right Hand.

2020 Mid-year Review

Posted on 2020-07-152020-08-29 by Chris Tullbane

For the last two years, I’ve had a blog post listing my writing goals for the coming year. Making those goals public has been a great way of both letting you all know what’s coming and holding myself accountable, and I suspect I’ll continue the practice for years to come. 2020 is, of course, a…
