All right, gang, it’s time to reveal the street date of the Swarm Press paperback edition of “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era.”
July 13, 2008
Mark your calendars, my friends — that’s the day you’ll be able to purchase the book from Amazon.com! I hope you will help me concentrate all initial sales on that one day, so that we can make a big impact on the Amazon sales charts and show the world, once again, the incredible power you have in the world of publishing!
But Matt, I’ve Already Got The Original Edition
If you’ve already purchased the “Little Monster” edition of “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era,” well… thank you, and congratulations! You’ve got a collector’s item, because that baby is officially out of print. I’d still like you to shell out your hard-earned cash for a copy of the Swarm Press edition. See, the day after “Brave Men Run” drops is my birthday, and all I want is for you to buy a copy of the new edition of the book… in fact, if you do, I’ll make it worth your while with a little something-something:
Simply send me a picture of yourself with both the original Lulu.com edition of the book and the new Swarm Press edition, and I’ll send you an autographed book plate. But wait! You’ll also be entered into a contest — everyone who sends me a picture of yourself with both books in hand, before September 1st, 2008, will be eligible to win…
- Grand Prize: A character in the next novel of the Sovereign Era, “Pilgrimage,” named after you, including a special note in the acknowledgements!
- Second and Third Prizes: Goodies from Swarm Press, to be announced.
There’ll be one winner for each prize… and *everyone* who enters gets the book plate.

Hi David — unfortunately, I can’t sell the previous edition of “Brave Men Run — A Novel of the Sovereign Era” as part of my agreement with Swarm Press. It’s understandable, since that would amount to competing with Swarm (and myself, in a way.)
Thanks for wanting to do it, though!
Matt,
That’s cool. I’ll be sure to order a copy from Amazon on July 13th then. And tell some friends to do so as well!
Good luck to you.
Perhaps I could pay for two way shipping and get you to sign my copy?
