A while back I announced that a new Keller novella, “Keller’s Fedora,” would debut as a Kindle Single on May 10.
Well, like Bogart in Casablanca, I was misinformed. Amazon’s copy-editing process took a little longer than expected, and their cover artist took time to prepare four prospective covers, and, with the regularity of the tides, May 10 came and went.
This would barely merit comment, but for the surprising number of folks who’ve called the absence of Keller’s Fedora to my attention. I must say I’m pleased so many of you are so eager for our favorite hit man’s latest adventure, and can but apologize for his failure to appear on time. Another couple of days, I think, will see the matter to a satisfactory conclusion—and I’ll post and blog and tweet and otherwise make a big fuss as soon as it’s on Amazon’s virtual shelves.
Meanwhile, I thought y’all might welcome look at the cover. We had four to choose among, all of them more than acceptable, and this was everybody’s first choice. Here it is, for your viewing pleasure—and soon there’ll be a brand-new Keller tale to go with it.
Keller!!! My hero….Lol
Thank you Mr. Block
Can’t wait.
That looks seriously awesome.
Shades of Alfred Hitchcock!
Indeed!
The shadowy profile is very “Hitchcockian” (for fans of the old master).
You know, I think you’re right!
If I may, Lawrence, what is your fascination with ‘Amazon’? I will not purchase Anything Online. My personal info. has twice been ‘compromised’ (?) so says Uncle Sam (I am a retired Navy Vet./’04), and thus my severe reluctance to do so! Please try your better best to get your ‘stuff’ (said with much love) on real paper (books) at B&N (in particular) so that I can have that “feel at home w/scotch in hand” experience in My American made leather recliner! I do have MANY of your works (all of the top 3 story lines), but the Chip ‘stuff’ and some of the ‘Hard Case’ books AREN’T in book form – far as I can tell !? You are by far My favorite writer, followed by (in no particular order) Louis Lamour, John Gierach, Tom Mcguane. No, I am not fascinated by cowboy fly fishers, ha ha. I have you ‘bookmarked’, so no funny stuff !
Yes! Great cover.
