We’re finishing up June (aka the Month of Dean) with the release of 12 new books!
Ten of those are hardcover editions of books you might have already read. For the first time, Dean Wesley Smith’s Cold Poker Gang series is out in hardcover!
So, if you love the series and really want a hardcover edition, your wish is granted. These books look fantastic in hardcover, and they feature new art we licensed specifically for this series so we can use the art for merchandising in the future.

Dean reaches another milestone on Tuesday, with the publication of the 50th issue of Smith’s Monthly. That’s right, he’s done 50 issues of that fan-favorite magazine with no sign of slowing down!
Here’s the synopsis:
This 50th issue of Smith’s Monthly contains more than seventy thousand words of original fiction from USA Today bestselling writer Dean Wesley Smith. Including The First Year, the new novel in the Marble Grant series, and five new short stories in some of Dean’s most popular series; Cold Poker Gang, Bryant Street, and Thunder Mountain, among others.
Also in this issue is Stories from July, part 2, with six classic short stories from Dean’s groundbreaking project for which he wrote a short story (or two) a day for one month, blogged about it, and designed a cover for each one. The fun continues!
