I got to blurb Mike Underwood’s Shield and Crocus

Consider this another authorial “achievement unlocked” moment, in which I get to do something cool by dint of being a published author.

Agency-mate Michael R. Underwood asked me to take a look at his latest book, Shield and Crocus, coming June 10 from 47North. Of course I said yes, because Mike is good people, and he was kind enough to do the same for The Daedalus Incident. Now, we’ve made it quite clear to each other that, hey, if we aren’t feeling it, we’re not going to blurb it. No harm, no foul.

But no worries here, because Shield and Crocus is a very, very good book. And Mike released my blurb about it today:

“Blindingly creative, Shield and Crocus delivers action-packed, four-color fantasy with a lot of heart.” — Michael J. Martinez, author of The Daedalus Incident

Yep, it’s that good. It’s a secondary-world urban fantasy with multiple sub-genres and a strong superhero vibe throughout. And it’s set in a city resting in the bones of a very large titan. Seriously, what more could you want?

It’s out June 10. Go pre-order it!
