Alabama Writers Hall of Fame Class of 2025 Announced

Robert McCammon has finished writing Leviathan, the final book in the Matthew Corbett series! He’s very proud of how it turned out, and he thinks you’ll enjoy it, too.

If all goes well, the trade hardcover (Lividian Publications), ebook (Open Road Media), and audiobook (Audible) editions of Leviathan will be published before the end of 2024! He literally just finished the book a week ago, so it’s too early for any more definite dates yet. Stay tuned!

Update: the trade hardcover and ebook editions are scheduled for early December 2024!

Polish publisher Vesper has revealed the proposed cover for their upcoming Polish translation of Swan Song. The art is by Maciej Kamuda. Vesper plans to publish three or four Robert McCammon translations in the second half of 2024. In recent years, they’ve published translations of Speaks the Nightbird, The Queen of Bedlam, Boy’s Life, The Listener, and Usher’s Passing.

Update 2024/07/22: The book is listed on the Vesper website now, but a publication date has not been announced yet.
