Welcome to JeffMariotte.com!

As usual, life�s been busy and something had to give�in this case, regular website updates. It�s not web guru Dianne�s fault, it�s all mine. But here�s what�s going on. There are three books coming in August that my wonderful wife and writing partner Marsheila (Marcy) Rockwell and I contributed to. The first is Mech: Age of Steel, which has already been released in a Kindle version, but should be available any moment in paperback. Our story in this anthology is called �A Single Feather,� and it�s a good one. Here�s the cover art.



Next up is Vampyr�or the long version, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vampyr Hardcover Ruled Journal. So yeah, stick with Vampyr. Here�s what the publisher says: �Started for one of the new Potential Slayers and left behind after the Battle at the Hellmouth, this journal includes a section of text copied from the original Slayer Handbook along with illustrations, annotations, and notes from Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow. Atmospheric, engrossing, and designed with a dynamic in-universe aesthetic, the blank, lined pages of this journal invite readers to add their own story to the legacy of the Slayer. �With sturdy construction and sewn binding, this journal lies flat, and the 192 ruled, acid-free pages of high-quality heavy stock paper take both pen and pencil nicely to invite a flow of inspiration. Includes a ribbon placeholder, elastic closure, and 7.5 x 4.5-inch back pocket, perfect for holding photographs and mementos.� We wrote the journal entries, annotations, and notes, and suggested illustrations�but we haven�t seen the final product, so it�ll be a surprise to us.



Next up is the Cutting Block Single Slices anthology, which contains our short story �The Lottons Show� (previously published on its own, as the lead story in the Single Slices series from Farolight Publishing. Their page about it is here.



And in October, Insight Editions will release a new novel by Marcy and me called Mafia III: Plain of Jars. It�s an authorized prequel to the bestselling Mafia III video game, telling the story of the game�s protagonist Lincoln Clay during his Vietnam years. More details when we have them, but here�s the cover art.



Upcoming appearances include the Tucson Comic-Con and TusCon 44, both in Tucson, Arizona, and both in early November. Lots going on, so stay tuned, and thanks for reading!
