What’s New - May 2010

Three additional reviews of Rage of the Behemoth appeared recently, each favourable. The anthology, from Rogue Blades Entertainment, continues to garner heavy praise.

Jaym Gates of Wings Lifting Wide said, “Rage of the Behemoth is about as far from the recent, often-parodied excuse for Sword and Sorcery as it can be and still be listed in the same genre.”

Gustavo Bondoni wrote on SFReader.com, “There were some stories that I found to be truly excellent: ... Bruce Durham’s “Yaggoth Voor” tells the tale of some sailors who come upon the wrong set of mischievous twins in a marvellous first-person narrative.”

And Luke Forney of Luke Reviews said,”This is one of the best anthologies I have read in a long time.” About my story he had this to say: “The best story in the anthology, a tale of Mortlock the Footman, this one focuses on a wrecked ship, an injured little girl, and a beast that seems to be toying with the crew. Wonderful dialogue, spot-on characterization, and a fast-paced plot, all wrapped up with a style that works perfectly for this type of story, makes this a true gem, and one of the best fantasy shorts I have read this year.”

Can’t beat that kind of endorsement.

What’s New - July 2010

Rogue Blades Entertainment has a new anthology on the horizon. It’s the second in the Clash of Steel series, titled Clash of Steel: Assassins. Submission guidelines are on the previous link. Note that Editor Jason Waltz wants to read the first 500 words of a story before deciding whether to see the rest. Nice idea, as you are forced to grab his attention right from the start. My own 500 word story submission, Dark Assassin, has been given the go ahead.

Artist Johnney Perkins has provided illustrations for each story in the upcoming Sha’Daa: Last Call anthology. The ilio for my story, Deathstalk, is pretty darn cool.

Flashing Swords has apparently risen from the ashes and is inviting submissions. The first issue is slated as an annual, though the submission guidelines indicate otherwise, listing the original schedule of four issues a year. I’ve submitted a Dalacroy story, Double Standard, so we’ll see what happens.

Added some author interviews to my Bibliography page.

comixPress adjusted their outrageous international shipping & handling charges to something far more reasonable. Now perhaps The Marsh God will sell better overseas.
