Can't make it to either? There's always New York Comic-con this October, but I don't have the details for that just quite yet. Stay tuned. Back to our regularly scheduled book pimping....
Dead Matter, the third book in the Simon Canderous urban fantasy series is on sale now. I'm terribly excited to share it with you so please show your humble host some love and pick it up at your favorite bookseller.
Much thanks, Anton
Here's some early review coverage:
Something is seriously awry in psychometrist Simon Canderous' life when even sacred taco night comes under supernatural fire. Strout's good-hearted, bat-carrying hero is once again faced with extraordinary peril from both bureaucratic paperwork and things that go bump in the night. His skillful blending of the creepy and the wacky give his series an original appeal. Don't miss out!
4.5 stars- Romantic Times Top Pick
An unusual urban fantasy, DEAD MATTER is highly entertaining.

And remember... the best tool I have at my disposal is YOU, dear reader. Word of mouth is what really helps to keep a new book series going so if you enjoyed Deader Still or Dead To Me, spread the word.
So far, I am contracted for four books in the Simon Canderous series. I am currently hard at work on book four which should be on bookshelves everywhere in February 2011.
And for those of you just joining us, what's that?
Haven't read book one, Dead To Me yet?
Well, look no further, my little Undead Approved. You can check out an excerpt here.
What people are saying about the Simon
Canderous urban fantasy series:
“Simon
Canderous is a reformed thief and a psychometrist. By
turns despondent over his luck with the ladies (not always living) and
his
struggle with the hierarchy of his mysterious department (not always
truthful),
Simon’s life veers from crisis to crisis. Following Simon’s adventures
is like
being the pinball in an especially antic game, but it’s well worth the
wear and
tear.”
- Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse
series,
aka HBO's True Blood
"Simon
Canderous is the kind of guy who can do magical things with his
hands…literally. With only his wry sarcasm, self-deprecating humor and
preternatural 'talent' for Psychometry to keep him out of trouble,
Simon navigates the supernatural underbelly of New York City with a
style and panache worthy of a thousand sequels."
-Amber Benson, author of
Death's Daughter and co-author of the Ghosts of Albion
- Kelly McCullough, author of Cybermancy, Webmage and Codespell
