Do you have a burning question for Jim in these last few days before the book’s release? He’ll be doing two live Q&A events in the next week. The first will be hosted by BittenByBooks.com on Thursday, November 15th, 8-11pm CST. RSVP for a chance to win a signed copy of Cold Days! The second will be an AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) on Reddit’s /r/Fantasy section on Tuesday, November 20th. Links will be posted as soon as they’re live!

Preorder Cold Days from your local independent bookstore or through our web store, or get an autographed copy from Dog Eared Books’ virtual signing.
