Release Day!

Souldrifter is here! You can also pick up the new edition of Dreamwielder. I have my copies. Click the pic for links to get yours.

Packed with sorcerers, spies, and high-stakes intrigue, Souldrifter is a real page-turner, and Makarria is a teenage heroine who does more than just kick butt: she's smart, powerful, and surprisingly believable for a fourteen-year-old queen. A good read!
—Wendy Wagner, author of Skinwalkers

I’ve been waiting for Book 2 in Garrett Calcaterra’s Dreamwielder Chronicles since happily finishing Book 1—and the wait has more than paid off. Souldrifter meets the promise of its predecessor with royal trumpets. Fine writing, magic, epic intrigue, a great cast, and a central character (Makarria) who mesmerizes—what more does a reader need to be happy?
—Bruce McAllister, author of The Village Sang to the Sea

SOULDRIFTER Cover Reveal!

Here it is, the cover to Book 2 in The Dreamwielder Chronicles, Souldrifter. I just now finished the last line edits to the manuscript, so it should be available for pre-order soon. Official release date is September 29, 2015.

The Short, Short Version

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for me, and there's no respite in the near future, so here's a quick update on everything Dreamwielder related.

• Congratulations to Marlene from Texas! She won the Dream, Steam, and Scream Book Giveaway. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest by signing up for my mailing list.
• The Dreamwielder Book Club is on its way over at Wattpad. So far, the first nine chapters are up to read and discuss for free, with another three new chapters coming every Friday, leading right up to the release of Souldrifter on September 29.
• The new edition of Dreamwielder should be available a month or so before that. I'm going through the last round of revisions (hopefully!) of Souldrifter, and once I have those finished, we can stick chapter 1 of Souldrifter at the end of Dreamwielder as a teaser, and then both books will be ready for production.
• My publisher, Diversion Books, should be having a cover reveal for Souldrifter within the next month or so. After seeing the new cover for Dreamwielder, I can't wait to see what the cover designers at Diversion come up with for Souldrifter.
• I've started a new day job as a writer for a tech company in Silicone Valley, and my wife and I are in the process of moving up from Southern California. It's been a crazy time, stressful and exhilarating at the same time! Once we get settled in and I'm no longer living out of a suitcase, I'll be sure to write up a more thorough recap of what's going on.

Dreamwielder Cover Reveal (Part Deux!)

Here it is, the new cover for Dreamwielder!

While I very much liked the original cover for Dreamwielder, I'm excited to have Makarria on the front of the new edition, and it's fitting to have a new cover at this time since the first book is expanding into a series. I should have a cover reveal for Book Two, Souldrifter, in the coming month, and Souldrifter itself will be released in late September. I'm not certain yet when the new edition of Dreamwielder will be hitting retailers, but I'll be sure to add an update below as soon as I know for certain.

In the meantime, I'm very excited to be hosting a book club reading of Dreamwielder on Wattpad, beginning this Friday (September 10). If you don't have one already, sign up for a free Wattpad account and you can read the entirety of Dreamwielder for free and discuss it with other fans.
