In addition to the print and eBook editions of Animal, the thriller I wrote with Dr. Munish K. Batra, from WordFire Press, there’s also going to be an audio edition from Podium Audio. Podium created their own cover for the audio edition, and we all loved it to pieces, and so WordFire has redone the cover using Podium’s art. I gotta say I love the new cover even more.
And here it is:
Neat, huh?
The book, and the audio, will be out in January 2021.
Continuing my week-long reading of my 2015 Heroes Reborn novella “Save the Cheerleader, Destroy the World,” which bridges the gap between the end of season four of the 2006 series Heroes and the start of the 2015 miniseries Heroes Reborn from the POV of Claire Bennet. In Part 3, lines are drawn between human and Evo as the Evo Registration Act is revised and the so-called “Petrelli Movement” condemns it — to tragic consequences.

A new version of “Cry No More,” a song Rhiannon Giddens wrote in 2015 in response to a massacre by white supremacists at a South Carolina church, redone five years later and released the day after the president of the United States publicly proclaimed himself to be a gleeful ally of white supremacists.
This new version with an amazing cast of musicians, as well as a dancer, is beyond haunting, beyond brilliant, beyond tragic.

An excerpt:
Here, though, the divide between captain and first officer is legit, and it’s one that carries over nicely from Part 1. But what I especially like is that Janeway’s fervent statement that they still need to work together even when they disagree is well taken, because in the end they both were right. Allying with the Borg was the only way they were going to (a) be able to create the weapon to use against 8472 and (b) get across Borg space unassimilated. But in the end, the microsecond the alliance was over, the Borg moved to assimilate the ship, just as Chakotay feared. It’s their nature.
A dear friend sent me this song, which is the perfect song for 2020: “Everyone Else is an Asshole” by Reel Big Fish, a band I hadn’t heard of before, but whose work I now intend to seek out…….
In 2015, I and several other authors were tasked with writing six novellas that tied into Heroes Reborn, the 13-episode miniseries that served as a sequel to the 2006 TV show Heroes. My tale was called “Save the Cheerleader, Destroy the World,” and it served to bridge the gap between the end of the first series and the start of the miniseries, from the POV of Claire Bennet. I’ll be doing a five-part reading of this novella all week long.
In Part 1, we learn the aftermath of Claire jumping off the Ferris wheel at the end of the series…

Back in 2013, I wrote a novel based on the superb TNT show Leverage (which is apparently being revived, so yay!) called The Zoo Job, and the mighty JL Gribble wrote a very nice review of it!
An excerpt:
DeCandido captures the (at times, multiple) voices of each Leverage hero perfectly, both narratively and in terms of the characters they slip into for a job. The sheer number of other callouts to familiar show elements verges on unnecessary, but by the end of the story, everything ties off perfectly. But honestly, I’ll never complain about something that involves my favorite TV almost-villain, and DeCandido is quite aware of what he’s doing based on an interaction between Nate and Hardison toward the end of the book.
For the eSpec Books edition of Gryphon Precinct, I wrote an original short story that appeared as a bonus in the book. “Chaos Theory” — about what turns out to be a very strange series of seemingly unconnected, yet very obviously linked murders — started out life as the story for the Dragon Precinct graphic novel that I tried Kicstarting but failed to reach its funding goal. So I did a short story instead. Check out my reading of it!
