 As you may have noticed, we’ve just put up a list of the first shows and conventions which have booked our boy CJ as a guest in 2011. Some are classics he never misses, and some are excursions to new and exotic lands from which we hope he returns in one piece.But, the big news as far as we’re concerned, is the fact that he’s going to be a guest for the first time ever at one of the legendary DORIAN’S PARLOR evenings. It’s coming up in just a few weeks on Saturday, January 22nd, and anyone in the area of Philadelphia, PA, should consider checking it out. Just hop over to www.doriansparlor.com to get an idea of what a wild and crazy event this is. Once you see what kind of antics they get into there, considering ol’ CJ’s going to be there as well, how can you resist? December 17, 2010 .jpg) Well, here's one we've been waiting for for a while now. The sequel to CJ's stunning success, Brooklyn Knight, was apparently held up as they waited for the original cover artist to do a new painting for Central Park Knight. Turns out his schedule never allowed him time enough to get to it, so a new artist was brought in, and all we can say is WOW! Some times things are worth waiting for. Yep, it might have taken a bit of extra time, but come may when the book hits the stands with this cover, we here think the wait will have been worth it. And so, without further adieu, we present one of the coolest covers ever to grace a CJ Henderson novel. Enjoy!October 31, 2010 Hello, everyone. This is CJ talking straight to you for once. Please, anyone in the NYC area, take a look at one of the following links, and consider attending this unique event. All of the shows put on by promoter Jeff Mach have proved to be outstanding, and I say that whether I've been a participant or not. Indeed, I'm not even certain I can be at this one (I have PhilCon that weekend), but I urge everyone looking for a good time to consider this great opportunity to try something completely different. The event is detailed at www.theanachronismnyc.com/, or www.facebook.com/event.php ?eid=138213626227087 on Facebook. Read it over carefully, but be assured, Mr. Mach is one of the most honest, respectable, and yet wildly entertaining men in the business. I can not imagine that a good time will not be had. October 25, 2010 Attention, everyone! Here's some fun, our boy CJ is going to be interviewed on All Hallow's Eve (Saturday, October 30th) from 8:30 to 9:00 EST. To hear the show, all you have to do is tune in live on uStream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sci-fi-saturday-night. They tell us there's also a live chat room there as well. After the show, for those who can attend the live performance, they're also going to have the podcast up at www.scifisaturdaynight.com for some time afterward. Come on in, everyone, and give a listen! October 20, 2010 Just a note, the following links will take you to various projects which our boy CJ is involved on an ongoing basis. Check 'em out in your copious free time. Hey, that's what the internet's for, isn't it? Have fun! www.badassfaeries.com badassfaeries.livejournal.com www.defendingthefuture.com darkquestbooks.livejournal.com October 12, 2010 Hi ... this is CJ talking to you all directly for once. I've admired and enjoyed the work of Bill Plympton for years. A sweet young filmmaker is producing a documentary on this terrific animator and what I'm up to here is, I'm asking folks to just pop over through the link below to take a look at what she's up to. I figure fellow fans of Plympton will be interested. Enjoy. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexiaanastasio /adventures-in-plymptoons-a-documentary-on-oscar-no October 03, 2010  Well, here comes yet another new anthology with our boy CJ in it. Several things of note this time around. First, this one features a new short story starring Piers Knight, the hero of his big, breakout series from Tor. Second, fun, fun, fun, this one is actually coming from a Canadian publisher. A lot of CJ's works are available north of the US border, but this is the first time an original work of his is being published there. And third, as you can already see, it's got one of the classiest covers we've seen around here since ... well ... since "Brooklyn Knight." the first book in the Piers Knight series. Can't wait for this one!
 March 20, 2010Huzzah ... another new CJ book has just hit the stands. This time it’s the collected stories of Blakely and Boles. Our boy has been doing tales of these two college professors that investigate the bizarre and unusual things of the world for several years, and now they’ve been put together in the book, "Where Angels Fear." It’s not available here at the store yet, but keep your eyes open for it. Not only does it contain all the stories CJ has written with long time writing partner Bruce Gehweiler, but it also features a new novella which ties all the sub-plots of the series together. It’s fun for all!  March 01, 2010Hold on to your hats, gang, this is big news! At long last, the audio version of our boy CJ’s classic supernatural detective novel, "The Things That Are Not There," is available, and it is out of this world! Audiorealms’ CEO himself produced, directed, and even voiced the prologue for it due to his own love for the series. Word is he wanted to voice the entire book himself, but he bowed to logic when master voice talent Charles McKibben, one of the greats from the Mel Blanc Studio became available. We’ve listened to the entire nine hours, and in our estimation, the only problem it has is that it’s only nine hours long and not more! The production is available in CD form right here in our own store, with copies going out signed by CJ if requested (to sign one means taking off the shrink wrapping). And, it’s also available as a download at theaudiobookshop.com. E-Yow, true believers ... what’re you waiting for?  February 23, 2010Yes, we know this event is a ways off, and that all the conventions and shows where our boy CJ is going to appear get listed in the column over to the right ... but this one is so jammed packed with great stuff (with the promise of more great stuff on the way), and we just wanted to make certain everyone knew about it. This is a one-of-a-kind event, and even those with no interest in making their way to Maryland should still click in to see just how different a weekend can get. February 10 , 2010 Every year our boy CJ makes certain he hits the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention. Because of all his work in the pulps, or with vintage television, like Kolchak: the Nightstalker, he's a natural for that show. They've gone after a great load of guests for this year and are close to signing a bunch of major talent, including Van Williams! With CJ penning the Green Hornet for Moonstone, this will be quite a meeting when they get together. Check out the Mid-Atlantic website in the upcoming CJH events section, or just keep monitoring this column for updates!  January 22 , 2010Lots of people seem to be reacting to CJ's latest novel, "Brooklyn Knight." There's a lot of reviews out there already, but don't worry, we won't be linking you to all of those. One thing we would like everyone to see is what CJ and the amazing Cleo Coyle cooked up (no pun intended, actually), over at her wonderful Mystery Lovers Kitchen blog.This is a great site for those who like food scenes in their mysteries, or just love food period. Follow the link provided below and check it out. Every day is fun there, but forgive us if we're partial to their use of our boy CJ's work. http://www.mysteryloverskitchen.com/2010/01/ cold-day-soup-by-brooklyn-knight-cj.html  January 10 , 2010For those of you that don't know it, the first new CJ Henderson series to hit the stores in ten years is there right now! "Brooklyn Knight" is the first novel in the Piers Knight series. Piers is a curator at the fabled Brooklyn Museum. Unlike Teddy London, Piers has no supernatural powers. But, he does know how to manipulate the energies needed to utilize the mystic shields and weapons that have been created over the centuries. And, having free reign over the hundreds of thousands of artifacts stored in his museum, he does have quite an arsenal to choose from. And, considering the amount of menaces from beyond he faces in the first book alone, it looks like he's eventually going to need all of them! Short stories with Piers have appeared in the collections "Degrees of Fear," "Spells in the City," "The Anthology of Dark Wisdom" and "The Supernatural Investigators of CJ Henderson." There's also another one coming from a Canadian publisher later this year in a collection entitled "Monster Hunters." So, get it from your local bookstore, grab it from the store right here on the site, get a nearby library to order it for you, but whatever you do, get a hold of this one now. From the reaction already it looks like this series is going to be around for a long time! |
