Look, there are so many books in my office, and you need holiday gifts. Let’s make a deal.
The Holiday/Pandemic/Help-Me-Clean-My-House Sale!
I don’t post about every review, obviously, but Publishers Weekly is kind of a big wheel in the industry. A couple of weeks ago they published a review of Shard & Shield, a bit late for its mid-2019 release but I’m not complaining; there’s always time to join a series!
And I was delighted to find some very flattering comments, such as, “satisfying, high-stakes fantasy…with tightly plotted action sequences and taut suspense” and “multidimensional characters make consistently believable choices…. high fantasy fans will find plenty to enjoy in this fast-paced adventure.” Yay! Thank you!
Another review of Shard & Shield
Good news! That story I promised for gifting season (and we’re still within the 12 days of Christmas, so still in gifting season!) is here!
[Edit: Oops. When I wrote this post, that part about gifting season was true. But since apparently I flubbed publishing this post, it’s, um, less true now. Yep, I just found this post still unpublished, so, well, better late than never, right? At least subscribers still got the news!]
“Art & Artifice” is a novelette set in the time of Shard & Shield, taking place after Shianan and Ariana have brought back the Shard of Elan but before the protective shield has been erected. They are assigned to investigate and stop a series of Ryuven raids on a farming village.
Art & Artifice, a new story
It’s today! Blood & Bond, The Shard of Elan #2, is set free upon the world.
Release Day! Blood & Bond
Yesterday and this morning a strange thing happened, and this is what it looks like: I know enough to know it won’t stay, and it’ll probably never happen again, but pics so it did happen.
Remember Fire: Demons, Dragons, & Djinns? (Incidentally, that anthology is short-listed for Best Speculative Fiction with the 2019 Alberta Book Awards. Yay!) The next one is coming soon. Let me introduce you to Earth: Giants, Golems, & Gargoyles.
A small drumroll, please.
