The New Book (and the old ones)

I'm in the beta reader phase of my next (fourth) fantasy novel. Set in a different world than The Oxbow Kingdom Trilogy, this new book features some science fiction elements interwoven with the fantasy setting.

Leaves me all out of sorts... Makes me wonder... Why isn't this guy on the NYT Best Seller List? Seriously - I don't like giving away details of the book, so let's just say: If Brent Weeks had a love child with Rowling....
