Give the gift of yours truly with special personalized holiday bookplates


I mean, really, who wouldn't want to receive a book with THAT kind of bookplate in it, right? 

One again the holidays approach and soon they will be kicking us right swift in our roasted chestnuts and before you know it we will be hurrying on into the new year.

But for every moment from now right up to the holidays, my Grinchlike heart grows three sizes, they say, and I get giddy with holiday love. 

If you plan on giving any of my books as a gift , I will send along a personalized holiday-themed bookplate to go along with each of them... as long as it's in the US of A.       

Sorry, both of my international fans!

 Aside from a personal bit of written rambling from me, I am also quite prone to drawing some pretty mean snowmen, reindeer, candy canes, what have you....

Email me at anton.strout@gmail.com with the subject "Holiday Bookplates."  Include the name of the recipient so I can personalize them, or let me know if you'd prefer general holiday snark instead.  Don't forget an address, either the recipient of the bookplates or yours, depending on how you're gifting them my books.


Please spread the word to those you might think want to give the gift of ME and my Simon Canderous urban fantasy series for the holidays. Retweet and Facebook it at will, and Happy Holidays!

Dead Waters, the fourth book in the Simon Canderous urban fantasy series is now out.  I'm terribly excited to share it with you, so please show your humble host some love and pick it up at your favorite bookseller.

The best tool I have at my disposal is YOU, dear reader.  Word of mouth is what really helps to keep a new book series like mine going, so if you enjoyed Dead Matter, Deader Still  or Dead To Me, help spread the word.

What people are saying about the Simon Canderous series:

"Simon Canderous is a reformed thief and a psychometrist.  By turns despondent over his luck with the ladies (not always living) and his struggle with the hierarchy of his mysterious department (not always truthful), Simon's life veers from crisis to crisis.  Following Simon's adventures is like being the pinball in an especially antic game, but it's well worth the wear and tear."  

-Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, aka HBO's True Blood


"Simon Canderous is the kind of guy who can do magical things with his hands…literally. With only his wry sarcasm, self-deprecating humor and preternatural 'talent' for Psychometry to keep him out of trouble, Simon navigates the supernatural underbelly of New York City with a style and panache worthy of a thousand sequels."

-Amber Benson, author of the Calliope Reaper-Jones series and co-author of the Ghosts of Albion


"Urban fantasy with a wink and a nod. Anton Strout has written a good- hearted send-up of the urban fantasy genre. Dead To Me is a genuinely fun book with a fresh and firmly tongue-in-cheek take on the idea of paranormal police. The laughs are frequent as are the wry smiles. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next."

-Kelly McCullough, author of Cybermancy, Webmage and Codespell


"Real magic in a real, gritty world and a hero whose moral compass wavers--delightful!"

-Tamora Pierce, NY Times bestselling writer


"Part Ghostbusters, part Men-in-Black, Strout’s debut is both dark and funny, with quirky characters, an eminently likable protagonist, and the comfortable, familiar voice of a close friend. His mix of (mostly) secret bureaucratic bickering and offbeat action shows New York like we’ve never seen it before. Make room on the shelf, ‘cause you’re going to want to keep this one!"

-Rachel Vincent, author of Stray and Rogue
