Dana Stabenow’s Abduction of a Slave

Dana Stabenow’s fourth book in her Eye of Isis series, Abduction of a Slave, will be released Jan. 28. You can pre-order it now from the Webstore. https://tinyurl.com/yne6568b. The Pen’s copies come with exclusive bookmarks and stickers.

Stabenow was kind enough to share her recent blog post with us. Check it out.

[*I was going to title this post “Puuuurrrrrrty,” but I caught myself in time.]

Yep, the finished copy is now in my hands, another stellar production by Head of Zeus. (And incidentally, who are those guys? I want names and photos and maybe addresses, too, so I can declare my undying devotion to each and every one of them who had a hand in making my book look this good.)

From the first Isis novel HoZ asked me to chose images of Ancient Egypt for the cover art, and at my request HoZ has used that same image as a line break symbol. For Abduction of a Slave it’s Montu, the Egyptian god of war (one of them, anyway).

Which I naturally think is the coolest thing ever. So of course I jumped right on my Zazzle store to see if they make stickers. They do and I did, of all four images from all four Eye of Isis novels. From left in the image below, the Wedjat Eye from Death of an Eye, Seshat the god of scribes from Disappearance of a Scribe, the scarab from Theft of an Idol, and Montu from Abduction of a Slave.

hese stickers will make their way into copies of the novels (Eye stickers in copies of Death of an Eye, etc) sold by the Poisoned Pen at the launch of Abduction of a Slave on January 25th, a live and virtual event. See you there, one way or another!

The PP books are the only ones that will have the stickers in them.


Dana Stabenow will appear at The Poisoned Pen, in person and virtually, on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 5 PM to discuss her series. Pre-order a copy of Abduction of a Slave. Stabenow will be signing copies on Saturday.
