HELP ME!
G’day,
🚨 ALERT!! New release imminent! And I need your help!
My latest release is the second book in the Niz Thomas Collected series, which, uh, collects my short fiction by genre.
The first release was Volume One: Crime Stories.
You may remember it …
And now the second is Volume Two: Science Fiction & Fantasy Stories.
It’s very cool to have these collections released out in the wild. Each volume consists of:
Over a dozen stories (the paperbacks are doorstoppers)
(In true American style …)
One Big Beautiful Introduction
One Big Beautiful Afterword
And costs just a fraction of the price compared to if you purchased each of the stories individually
This volume represent years of hard work from me, but hours of beautifully serene reading time for you.
Check out how meaty it is in paperback!
The link for Volume 2 will take you to the Amazon pre-order.
But if you click into the pre-order page you’ll notice something’s missing.
A cover.
So. I need your opinion.
Right now, I have four cover options and I’m not entirely sure which one to use.
You can help me out by selecting your choice in the survey below the images.
And if you need to know what the book is about, the back cover copy is at the bottom of this email (or on the pre-order page).
Which one do you like best?
The book releases soon — June 19th — so you won’t have to wait long. But pre-orders help tremendously in Amazon’s book rankings, which alerts other readers (who haven’t yet found this sweet mailing list) that the book exists.
As always, hope you enjoy. And keep an eye on your inbox on release day for more news and maybe a special gift!

PS - here’s the Niz Thomas Collected Volume Two back cover copy:
