I just got the news that Audible.com has made an offer for the third Yamada Book, The War God’s Son, so there will be an audiobook edition of this one as well. Word is they want the fourth one too, only there’s the slight technicality that it isn’t written yet.
I hope they’re able to get Brian Nishii to do the narration again, but that’s something to be determined later. In the meantime the third book actually is written, turned in, and scheduled for release in October of this year from Prime Books.
Capsule Description:
“With the Abe clan and its allies in full rebellion, the Emperor’s greatest military leader, Minamoto Yoshiie, is targeted for assassination by magic. It is up to the newly sober Lord Yamada and his exorcist associate Kenji to keep the young man alive long enough to put down the uprising before the entire country is consumed by war. Yamada knows how to deal with demons, monsters, and angry ghosts, but the greatest threat of all is one final assassin, hidden in a place where no one—especially Lord Yamada—would ever think to look.”
I love the Yamada Monogatari stories! I think they would make great animated shows as well.
Thanks James, and if any animation studios out there want to talk, I’m available. 😉
So write it already Richard pleeeeeeeeeeze. Ant.
Oh, I will. It’s just that whole “linear time” thing that I haven’t quite sorted yet. I have to finish the book I’m working on that some people want to then go write the book that some other people want. This is known among writer circles as a “high class problem.”
Rick, we will be in MS the week of 10 March. i would like to bring some stuff by for you to sign if that possible. If it is replay to my normal email, please.
