\"David<\/a>SFScope<\/a> brings news of a new deal between David B. Coe and Tor Books<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\n

David B. Coe, writing as D.B. Jackson, sold the first two books in his Thief-Taker Series to James Frenkel at Tor<\/strong>. The Knight Agency’s Lucienne Diver, who made the deal, says the books were “pitched as Harry Dresden meets Sam Adams.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under his own name, Coe is the author of the Lon Tobyn Chronicle trilogy, the five-book Winds of the Forelands series, and the Blood of the Southlands trilogy (the third volume, The Dark-Eyes’ War, will be published in February 2010), all of which were published by Tor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s interesting to see Coe taking on a different name for the new series, suggesting it’s perhaps a significant departure from the Epic Fantasy he’s known for. A comparison to Harry Dresden isn’t terribly surprising (or unexpected, given Jim Butcher’s sales numbers), but one wonders if he’s referring to obscure(ish) author Sam Adams<\/a> or Samuel Adams<\/a>, leader of the American Revolution and holder of Tea Parties. <\/p>\n

UPDATE: Looks like it is<\/em> the Samuel Adams of Boston Tea Party fame<\/a>. Blake Charlton<\/a> explains:<\/p>\n

\n

From my WFC chatter w\/ David, i think Samuel Adams, of Tea Party fame, is correct. I think it’s set in colonial America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My anticipation for the series was knocked up a few notches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
