QRF Releases!

November 17, 2023 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

QRF, my latest military thriller, is now available to read! Available in Kindle eBook, audiobook (narrated by Garrett Brown), and paperback, it’s available exclusively at Amazon.

When an old comrade doing humanitarian work is captured by the Islamic State during the Iraqi civil war in 2016, four war veterans leave their civilian lives to attempt a dangerous rescue in the most dangerous place on Earth. Told in two timelines–the Iraq War and the civil war that followed–QRF is about war and the debts it imposes on those who survive it.

Get it here!

(Special thanks to Jackie Druga for providing the simple, striking cover and Brent Nichols for putting together the paperback.)

My Three-Book Horror Deal with Orbit

October 26, 2023 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

I am very happy today to announce that I have signed a deal with Orbit, Hachette’s speculative fiction imprint, for three horror novels to be published between 2025 and 2027.

The first is MY EX, THE ANTICHRIST: “When a rock musician learns her ex-boyfriend is the Biblical Antichrist, she must find a way to stop him before he grows powerful enough to control the world. DAISY JONES AND THE SIX meets THE OMEN in this novel about free will, music, and the apocalypse.”

This novel will follow HOW TO MAKE A HORROR MOVIE AND SURVIVE, on a previous deal with Hachette to publish in June 2024: “A slasher film director wants to make a horror movie using a cursed camera that kills anyone he cares about. The scream queen he loves wants to survive the night. FINAL DESTINATION meets Netflix’s BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR in this story about Hollywood, the eighties slasher era, and why we love horror movies.”

The other two in the three-book deal will be announced later. This will make eight novels I’ve done with Hachette, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work again with my awesome editor and one of the largest and highest-quality publishers of fiction in the U.S.

Thank you for reading my work, which literally makes all this possible. Stay tuned for these upcoming releases!

Cover Reveal for Q.R.F.

August 21, 2023 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Cover reveal for Q.R.F., my new military fiction novel coming out in late 2023! I love the simple look and how it captures the mood of the story.

A quick synopsis: When an old comrade doing humanitarian work is captured by the Islamic State during the Iraqi civil war in 2016, four war veterans leave their civilian lives to attempt a daring rescue in the most dangerous place on Earth.

The novel is about war, duty, and the pure love experienced between soldiers willing to die for each other.

The cover was done by the wonderful author Jackie Druga, who constantly surprises me with her multiple talents and generosity. She also did my cover for DJINN, which I absolutely loved as well.

Stay tuned! This one is going up for pre-order on Amazon soon!
