Here’s a short interview that filmmaker and journalist Matt Dublin conducted with me the other day. In it, we discuss the inspiration behind Another Broken Wizard, the process of writing it and some of my experiences as a novelist.

The Bargain

In Uncategorized on August 15, 2011 at 8:04 pm

Another Broken Wizard is available at a discount!

In a bid to become the premier retailer of Another Broken Wizard, Google Books has cut its own commission. And that’s taken a hefty chunk off the book’s cover price.

The Google Books page is a bit bare bones, but offers an easy preview: http://books.google.com/books?printsec=frontcover&id=NzrHhh03WnQC#v=onepage&q&f=false

You can find the synopses, reviews, videos and other information about Another Broken Wizard here.

The Print Edition

In Uncategorized on August 15, 2011 at 6:49 pm

Due to overwhelming demand, Another Broken Wizard is now available in print! No cell tower, wi-fi, wires, plugs, buttons or touch screens needed! Just a good old-fashioned paperback book.

You can buy it here:

https://www.createspace.com/3668892

And they will send it right to your door.

So curl up with the book that “…gets Worcester and shows it in all of its glories and cracks,” according to Worcester Pulse Magazine, which adds that: “Dodds is a master of writing the town life and capturing all of the said and unsaid. His characters are so full of waiting, of pain, and of hope that never reaches past the next day.”

The Heartfelt Thanks

In Uncategorized on August 7, 2011 at 4:04 pm

It’s been a week since Another Broken Wizard went on sale. And I want to sincerely thank everyone who bought the book in the past week, and to everyone who reviewed it, or just befriended it on facebook.

So far, the campaign has been a success, with many sales, and several reviews on the way from all quarters of the print and online world in the coming months.

But more importantly, promoting Another Broken Wizard has given me a chance to reconnect with a lot of old friends, and to meet some new ones.

If you’ve become annoyed with the emails, updates, television specials, billboards and skywriting for Another Broken Wizard—fear not, this concludes the frontal assault of my promotional blitz.

Now it’s up to you. So please tell your all friends about Another Broken Wizard.

It’s available here:

http://www.amazon.com/Another-Broken-Wizard-ebook/dp/B005FA2Z58/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312134660&sr=1-1

The Latest Review

In Uncategorized on August 5, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Many thanks to Kevin Kosar for writing the first post-publication review of Another Broken Wizard on his website.

“Dodds has written a fine novel. He has a voice wholly his own, and he captures the elemental good and bad in the American male. Joe’s recklessness and gang feud creates a looming peril that keeps the reader on edge,” Kosar writes.

Check out his review here:
