I've been fooling around on movie maker and made a short movie called The Song of Tubal Cain based on characters from my book Dead Men's Dust. If you have a couple minutes of your life to waste, why not take a look?

Cover art for UK edition of Dead Men's Dust

OK folks, the time has finally come. If you hop over to my website at www.matthiltonbooks.com, you can get a look at the cover of the UK edition of my book which will be available in hardback from 29th May 2009, published by Hodder and Stoughton. I'm thrilled by the look of the cover and hope you all like it as much as I do. The cover is displayed on the HOME page as well as in the BOOKS section, where you can also read the blurb. Pretty soon I will be posting the US cover. It is very different but also very good and I can't wait to share it with you.
Keep on keeping on

US title for book 1

Hi all,
hot off the press I have learned that the US edition of my book will retain the original plural title of Dead MEN'S Dust. I have my editor David Highfill to thank for this as he has championed my argument all the way and has been in my corner against all those that wanted to change the title. So there should be no confusion now for when anyone is looking to purchase the book, either side of the Atlantic. Did I say it's out 29th May 2009?

Dead Men's Dust Vs Dead Man's Dust

There is some talk concerning the US edition of the book being renamed as Dead Man's Dust. This is for purely marketing reasons and does not affect the book in any other way. I just hope there is no confusion. For the duration I shall still refer to the title in its plural as that is what is ingrained in my psyche. Although I haven't got an exact publication date, I think it will be contemporaneous with the UK edition which comes out on 29th May 2009.
