Here's the cover of the first issue of Bantam's new promotional magazine, SpectraPULSE, which will be given away free to attendees at the New York City Comicon in April and the San Diego Comicon this summer. Just swing by the Bantam Spectra booth for your copy,

The issue will include a new, never-before-seen chapter from A DANCE WITH DRAGONS. (Only slightly abridged). For more details, see my news page.

And no, alas, SpectraPULSE will not be on sale at your local bookstore or newsstand. Though I imagine that copies will be turning up on ebay at inflated ripoff prices. (Remember, this magazine is being given away FREE, so whatever the seller gets on ebay is pure profit).
