The author photo for Seven Shades of Evil and huge news from The Alabama Booksmith!!

Robert McCammon’s walking cane is going to one lucky fan!
For his author photo for Seven Shades of Evil, coming in October 2023 from Lividian Publications, Robert McCammon once again asked makeup artist and photographer Amanda Chapman to create “The Wicked Gambler,” a character representative of the time period in which the Matthew Corbett stories are set.
The elegant walking cane Robert McCammon used in his period photo shoot will belong to one lucky fan when the book is published! The first 500 signed first editions purchased from The Alabama Booksmith will come with an entry in a drawing that will take place at the launch party. All previous pre-orders from The Alabama Booksmith have already been entered.
Read about the origin of the walking cane in the brand-new Robert McCammon short story “The Wicked Gambler and his Walking Cane”!
Seven Shades of Evil launch party set
The Alabama Booksmith announces details of the official launch party for Seven Shades of Evil. The event will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2023. At 2:30, in the upstairs auditorium, Mr. McCammon will talk about the new book and take questions. At 3:30, he will draw the name of the lucky winner of the beautiful walking cane and then go downstairs to sign books.
Because of limited space for the talk, reservations are required. There is no charge for tickets, but they must be requested as books are purchased. Each copy purchased from The Alabama Booksmith may receive one seat. No reservations are needed for the booksigning, and space is unlimited. Simply ask for a ticket in the Notes section when you place your pre-order for the book.
You can pre-order a signed first edition of Seven Shades of Evil from the Alabama Booksmith website.
