Can’t wait to get your hands on POTBOILER? This year, pre-ordering won’t only ensure you have the book on launch day, it will also entitle you to bonus content and a chance to win an iPod Shuffle and audiobook! Pre-order the book from any retailer in any format, send proof of purchase to contest@jessekellerman.com, and I’ll send you The History of Zlabia, a fun little piece that will give POTBOILER added depth. From the pre-orders, I’ll also choose one lucky winner at random to receive an iPod Shuffle and an audiobook version of THE EXECUTOR.

If you know you’re going to buy the book anyway, this is an incentive to buy the book now rather than later. And if you’re attending one of my San Diego or LA launch party, be sure to order from Mysterious Galaxy and Diesel Books. It will be ready for you when you arrive!

TWO Launch Parties!

I just confirmed that I will be on faculty for this year’s Book Passage Mystery Conference. This is my first time participating in this annual conference, but I’ve heard great things. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll attend!

Booklist reviews Potboiler

Booklist reviews Potboiler and says, “Kellerman (The Executor, 2010) plays this one largely for laughs… but [he] is simply too interesting a writer to leave it at that. He also ruminates on the practice of writing, the experience of sudden literary success, the nature of friendship, and the contrasts between the lives of writers and spies. Potboiler is very funny—and insightful.”
