Are you digging THE ROOKIE graphic novel? Did you listen to the free podcast (over at www.scottsigler.com/therookie)? Well then, get ready for the next iteration of this unique scifi story — a Hardcover Novel.

The full, unabridged text from the podcast, PLUS a gorgeous, embossed cover, PLUS eight color plates inside showing aliens, team uniforms and logos, PLUS a full galactic timeline, PLUS some extra content on the GFL.

Woah! Thats’ a big package.

On April 25, 2009, we’ll start taking pre-orders for THE ROOKIE in hardcover. Why April 25? Why, because that’s NFL Draft Day! That’s right, you can make Quentin Barnes your #1 draft pick.

The book will ship in late August, and be at your home for the kickoff of the 2009-2010 NFL regular season. Aw, snap! That’s good marketing.

While I have a print deal with Crown Publishing (a division of Random House, the world’s largest publisher), I’m putting out THE ROOKIE by myself. Crown isn’t interested in this football/scifi/crime mashup, but they have no problem with me printing it and selling it from my website at www.scottsigler.com.

We’re only printing 3,000 copies, so mark you calendars and keep checking back to see more of Mark Hester’s awesome ROOKIE artwork — trust me, when April 25 draws near, we’ll be blabbing about the hardcover nonstop. When those 3,000 copies are gone, that’s all she wrote, so this will be a great collector’s item.

Howdy Addicts, I’m back from my tour to promote my hardcover novel CONTAGIOUS. We had an awesome time, an 11-city tour that took me from San Francisco to finish up in Washington D.C. And yeah, the whole way I jibber-jabbed about Addictive Comics. It was thrilling to hear from people, face-to-face, how much they are enjoying THE ROOKIE and BLACK JACK JUSTICE. Check out the picture at left — just a few of the awesome ROOKIE fans that came dressed in Kraken’s gear!

I’m back in San Francisco, and digging the art that Mark is kicking out for this book. I hope you’re digging it as well.
